SSL 12 USB Audio Interface

Building upon the success of the Solid State Logic SSL 2 and SSL 2+, the SSL 12 USB Audio Interface is a highly portable 12-in / 8-out, bus-powered interface that delivers professional studio-grade quality and legendary analog character in a compact form factor. With pristine 32-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA conversion, ADAT input, and intuitive console-style software mixing, the SSL 12 is ideal for content creators and producers.

Intuitive and Efficient

Each input channel is arranged vertically like a large-format mixing board, providing 5-segment LED metering, selectable 48V phantom power, mic and line-level operation, and a Legacy 4K switch that adds analog color enhancement inspired by the SSL 4000 Series consoles. Extremely low noise, exceptional EIN performance, and a wide gain range ensure optimal sound quality across recording scenarios.

Comprehensive I/O in a Small Desktop Footprint
Despite its compact size, SSL 12 offers professional studio features: ADAT connectivity, onboard talkback mic, powerful cue mixer with up to 4 independent near-zero-latency performer mixes, alternative monitor switching, USB Loopback, MIDI I/O, and DC-coupled outputs for CV control.
  • Four SSL-designed mic preamps with exceptional EIN and large gain range
  • Four Neutrik combo XLR-1/4" inputs with per-channel +48V
  • Two Hi-Z instrument inputs
  • Two professional headphone outputs with switchable modes and up to four independent headphone mixes
  • Four dedicated balanced 1/4" line outputs (headphone outputs can be repurposed)
  • USB-C for 12 x 8 digital tracking and bus power; ADAT input for +8 channels
  • USB Loopback, MIDI DIN I/O, and DC-coupled 1/4" CV outputs
Real Analog Enhancement Inspired by the SSL 4000 Series (4K)

The Legacy 4K circuit introduces a musical high-frequency EQ boost and subtle analog harmonic content to add presence and character—bringing a piece of the SSL 4000 console sound to your inputs.

SSL Studio Quality, Built to Last

SSL's 50+ years of console design inform the SSL 12’s build quality: Alps pots, Neutrik connectors, and a brushed aluminum front panel. Designed for studio or location use, it delivers outstanding audio quality in a durable desktop package.
