SSL 2+ 5-stars Reviews

SSL 2+

Killer interface! Perfect for my home setup.

Finally a dream come true!!!

This is a really high build quality product,sounds amazing,knobs are smooth and nice.I got everything that I wanted in/from a small audio interface finally! This is the upgrade you should definitley buy if you've had enough of your old and cheap interface-cause this is a real workhorse,with a huge legacy behind it!

Step up compared to my Scarlett 2i2 (2nd gen.)

I use the SSL2+ mainly to record voiceovers. The mic I use is the Rode Procaster.

Compared to the 2i2 there a few features that I like about the SSL2+:

- Two headphone amps: so that I and the voiceover artist can monitor simultaneously.

- The cleaner mic preamps.

- The extra gain of the mic preamps.

- That the connections are at the back of the interface: cleaner desk ;)

- The overall esthetics and layout of the device.

The only con I have right now is that is less portable that the 2i2. It's bigger and the extruding knobs seem more fragile.

Overall I think it's a great interface and in my opinions it's a step up compared to my previous Scarlett 2i2 interface.

the mic pre sounds amazing as always like the other products of SSL.

It got the Neutrik connectors are cool.

2 line and 2 monitor output for 2 speaker or program.

The big knobs of the Monitor Volume is my favourite features in this product, comfy and modern outlook.

The 4K legacy button enhance the clarity of the audio input signal.

No software needed, It comes with the usb to usb-c and usb-c to usb-c cable for different version laptops.

SSL 2+

Everything runs flawlessly on win10.

Preamps and conversion are without surprise superior than other brands equivalent in the same range; personally I also like alot the 4k feature. At this price this interface is a total win.

Loving everything on this audio interface, sounding clean and crisp with my at-2035 mic <3

What's not to love?

Great interface, it looks fantastic for start, i was after a unit where all the cabling was at the back and this looks class on the desktop. It sounds great as well, much better preamps than my previous interface and higher power headphone output. then the extra software, the SSL Native plugins, amazing! I'm very happy with this.

Excellent product

I was searching and reading a lot before this purchase. I was thinking of going for the UA for years, but this SSL dropped this little thing and I could not justify the price difference. This audio interface is a bliss. Dead quiet, great signal (used mostly for tracking guitars), no latency issues. Furthermore, the plugins that SSL offer are extremely useful (especially the Drumstrip).

Don't sleep on this interface! You can do no wrong by purchasing it, and I don't think that it is inferior to more expensive ones.

One of the Best!

One of the best audio interfaces at this price range. Excellent pre-amps.

Unbeatable and the best for the price

There is nothing on the market that could even be comparable to the SSL2 + in this price range, it works immediately after connecting to a Mac, Windows needs to download the driver - 10 seconds and the matter is settled, the operation is very easy even for someone who has not dealt with any interface, the manual explains literally everything, the rest depends on your hearing and the quality of the input signal and monitors. Very high quality SSL plugins included.

Very well product!!!!!!

I use it to connect my MacBook to my microphone and also my Adam T5V monitor and it does it’s work very well! The 4K button is very very very good. It is the most advantage of this little thingy. This is also why I choose this audio interface. There is still something I don’t really like about is that the headphone jack places backwards and my headphone line needs to cross the audio interface. Also the meter is nonsense. It shows not enough information but you can still get the basic volume information on it. The connectivity is awesome though. I can get midi in and out and also rca input and output. Therefore I can connect it to my ILoud micro monitor instead. The build quality is also awesome. The texture is very good for me and it impresses me when I first get the product. The look of the audio interface is also cool. It gives me a professional impression. Also, the sound it records is pretty awesome due to its price. I can bet that this audio interface does its thing more than its price. I would recommend everyone with a limited budget to get this awesome and wonderful audio interface!

awesome

I have owned original SSL G series channel outboard gear and bus compressor. Amazingly, this inexpensive piece of kit adds a taste of that magic. Cannot recommend highly enough. Being USB powered it has become the core of my portable studio when hooked up to my MacBook Pro.

nice interface love that 4k button

Best of the Best

Best Audio Interface on the market !!!

Great interface!

Currently used directly with Neumann TLM 102 and AKG P120 microphones for recording audio into Maschine and Reaper DAWs with the 4K emulation enabled.

Very happy!

Pretty good, although I must admit it will suffice, I'm looking forward to just buying something much better.

As every cheap audio interface, it has a loud noise floor static sound which I'm done with.

If you have the money, I'd suggest going for only the following brands for interfaces: Universal Audio, Apogee or RMS. Even if it's barely over $500.

Just don't bother buying cheap interfaces unless you'll be working towards any of those.

Great for collaborations and hi-fi recordings in desktop format

The value in this interface is awesome:

It hardly sounds any different than top-tier interfaces.

It provides 2 fully customizable channels and every control you'll ever need on an interface.

It has 2 very good headphone jacks. This is great for monitoring vocalists professionaly or any recording of 2 simulatenous sources without external amps.

The 4K really breathes life into some recordings, specially guitars without external amp and vocals recorded with mics like the SM7B.

The build quality and knobs feel great. Maybe the buttons not so much (small deal).

The only "downside" is that it is, in my opinion, too heavy and fragile to be really portable, it feels more like a desk device. However, it can surely be transported in its box with some caution.

Wonderful Tool

I own several audio interfaces for my macbook, ipad and PC. The SSL 2+ is so far the best among the others.

It provides clarity of sound, wonderful preamp (with 4K), and good power for my Beyerdynamic headphones.

What a nice thing, SSL?

I couldn't believe it!

I left the device working for a week on macOS Mojave, without shutting it down, haven't got any issues.

Pros:

- Super clean sound, nice dynamic range.

- Very easy to deal with.

- Beautiful and sturdy design and knobs.

- Worked with macOS in seconds, no driver to install, nothing.

- Very cost effective.

Cons: ( Not actually! )

- I prefer if the headphone jacks were in front instead of the back.

- I wished if the LED mic gain meters were a bit longer.

- I miss a LED meter for the master level.

- I wished if we get a software mixer to do some useful routing.

Still, should be one of the best sound cards in the market, I used it side by side with Apollo Twin ( silver ), I loved the sound on SSL more. more defined, more dynamic ( about 10-15% better).

You won't regret buying, don't hesitate, do it.

Amazing

Great interface for the price!!!Analogue sound with the great 4k mode!!!

Ssl products are always good...i can not wait for an 8 or 16 I/O model
