SSL Solid State Logic 12 32-bit / 192 kHz USB Audio Interface

Description

SSL 12 is a 12-in/8-out USB bus-powered audio interface that enables you to get studio-quality audio into and out of your computer with minimal fuss and maximum creativity. Building upon the success of SSL 2 and SSL 2+, SSL 12 gives you more. More I/O, more performance and more versatility. SSL 12 is fully integrated with SSL 360° software, where you can create multiple independent headphone mixes, choose your Loopback source, customise the 3 front panel user-buttons and much more. With a feature set to rival many larger devices, SSL 12 is desktop in size but rackmount by nature. 

SSL 360° Integration – The SSL 12 Mixer
SSL 360° hosts the powerful SSL 12 Mixer page, where you can do the following:

Easily set up multiple near-zero latency headphone mixes: SSL 12 provides a virtual console-style interface for creating intuitive headphone mixes, just like you would on an SSL console.

• Configure HP A and HP B outputs for different headphone sensitivities or re-purpose as additional line-level outputs: Choose from 3 different modes of operation for the headphone outputs that best suit your headphones – Standard, High Sensitivity or High Impedance. Or, you can choose to re-purpose each HP output as a balanced/unbalanced mono output, if you need additional line level outputs from SSL 12. 
• Customise the 3 user-assignable front panel buttons: The 3 front panel switches come pre-assigned to CUT for the monitors, ALT speaker switching and TALKBACK mic engage/disengage but you can choose to change these buttons to any of the following functions to suit your needs - DIM, CUT, MONO SUM, ALT, INVERT PHASE LEFT, TALKBACK.
• Choose your Loopback source: Configure where your Loopback feed is taken from. Record the output of a media player (e.g. via Playback 1-2) or create a custom sub-mix of your podcast via one of the Aux Busses (e.g. Line 3-4).
• Save/Load SSL 12 Mixer templates: Easily create and save templates for tracking, mixing and production in the SSL 12 Mixer that you can recall quickly for different sessions.
