Solid State Logic SSL 2+ MKII USB-C Audio Interface
The Solid State Logic SSL 2+ MKII USB-C Audio Interface provides professional recording connectivity for musicians, producers, engineers, and content creators working with computers. Its microphone preamps deliver a 64 dB gain range, -130.5 dBu EIN A-weighted noise performance, and 116.5 dB A-weighted dynamic range for capturing microphones with low noise and ample usable gain.
For instrument and line-level recording, the SSL 2+ MKII accommodates a wide range of studio sources. Its instrument inputs provide 116 dB A-weighted dynamic range and support signals up to +15 dBu, while the line inputs deliver 117 dB A-weighted dynamic range with a maximum input level of +24 dBu. These specifications make the interface suitable for recording instruments, external preamps, synthesizers, processors, and other compatible line-level equipment.
The monitoring section maintains similarly strong performance, with balanced outputs offering 120 dB A-weighted dynamic range and a maximum output level of +14.5 dBu. Headphone outputs provide 119.5 dB A-weighted dynamic range with up to +13 dBu output. USB 2.0 connectivity uses a Type-C connector, while class-compliant Mac operation and dedicated Windows ASIO/WDM driver support provide straightforward integration with compatible computer recording systems.
