- Reviewed in Canada on August 23, 2022Bought this and it sounds amazing! I love the clarity of the pre amps it makes my guitar sound amazing. 4k enabled is a must! Tone overall is warmer compared to Apollo Twin X for vocals but nothing post processing can't fix. Also noise floor is super low!
- Reviewed in Canada on October 31, 2024I got this from Long & McQuade for $260CAD. I am coming from a Scarlett 4i4, which failed after only 4 years of minimal use due to a very common issue. I was (and am) pretty miffed about a $400+ piece of equipment failing due to a factory defect, so I didn't want to spend a ton of money, but wanted the same quality. Immediately after plugging into the SSL2+, my guitar with 4K enabled sounded absolutely incredible. Right out of the box, my guitar sounded better than ever with just a simple compressor on it. A sound that I struggled to get on the Scarlett even through plugins afterwards. Vocals also sound great. For features, first of all the included software codes include actual decent software. I already had the max NI 14 package, but the other plugins are nice and I've been enjoying them. The device itself feels... Ok. The buttons feel a bit cheap, as do the pots, but as long as it lasts longer than a few years I can look past that. The 4 outs were a requirement (initially) as I run a headphone amp and monitors. BUT... The SSL2+ actually has REALLY good headphone circuits that drive headphones plenty. Also, I found the RCA outs to be lacking. There's a light buzzing, and the volume is reduced significantly. Not sure if this is a problem with my amp or the SSL (or RCA cables), but I'll mention it regardless. So I've since taken my amp out of the setup, which kinda sucks, but the headphone outs are just so good on the SSL. So I could have gone for the SSL2, with no need for the +... And could have never bought an amp if I had just skipped focusrite and bought SSL off the bat. One more thing, it's hilariously large. It looks a bit off in my setup, but again, I don't care about physical aspects as long as it functions and sounds good. The all rear inputs and outputs are also super nice, it fits my setup well. But be careful if your setup is set up for front facing controls/inputs & outputs. I used to have my Scarlett under a lower shelf, so I've had to move things around to have access to top controls. My only other nitpick, is the 1/2 and 3/4 outs CANNOT be used simultaneously (afaik and without extra fiddling). This could be a big issue for some people. I had to go into routing within Logic to activate the 3/4 RCA outs, which then cuts off the 1/2 outs to the monitors. My Scarlett was able to simultaneously send all 4 outs, so that kinda sucks. But, since removing my amp it's no longer an issue. Regardless, I'm incredibly happy for such a relatively cheap piece of kit sounding as good as it does. The one star off is due to the lack of simultaneous 1/2 and 3/4 outs, and also the RCA outs lacking. As well as the build quality (which is mostly good, don't get me wrong, just the buttons and pots feel of less quality than the Scarlett, which to be fair is almost $200 more). Ok bye.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome and Affordable
Verified PurchaseIn January of 2020, Solid State Logic (SSL) introduced two desktop audio interfaces, the SSL2 and the SSL2+.
If you are an audio engineer, you are no doubt very familiar with SSL. Youll find their mixing consoles in most major recording studios, and more number one hits were recorded with SSL equipment than with any other brand. Their 4000 series is particularly coveted.
Now, what SSL has done is condense everything the brand is known for in a compact, affordable package. Im talking about solid build quality, pristine analogue microphone preamps, and super clean 24/192 kHz conversion. Im talking about low-latency monitoring, high-performance headphone preamps, and a special Legacy 4K button.
Each preamp has a 5-segment LED meter for visual level reference. You can plug in microphones that require 48V phantom power, but you can also use ribbon and dynamic microphones like the Shure SM7B without needing a Cloudlifter ($150 in savings right there!). Thats because the preamps have an ultra-low noise floor of -130.5 dbu EIN, and offer a gain range of 62 dB. Thats enough for very detailed and clean recordings.
In the back there are two studio-grade Neutrik mic/line combo jacks, and two 1/4 outputs for your studio monitors. In addition, the SSL2+ has two 1/4 headphone outputs as well as MIDI I/O over 5-pin DIN jacks. Youll also get two pairs of RCA outputs with the 2+ to attach some outboard gear.
THE MAGIC NUMBER ELEVEN
Most voice overs will be quite happy with the cheaper SSL2. I chose the 2+ because Ive always wanted an interface I could plug two headphones into. My Beyerdynamic DT880s, which I use for recreational listening, and my Austrian Audio Hi-X55s which are my editing cans.
What I also like is that both units are USB-powered (USB C & A). No more ugly power brick. If you have an Apple computer like I do, the unit is plug and play. If youre a Windows fan, just download the ASIO/WDM Driver and youre in business.
Esthetically speaking, these interfaces have the familiar SSL look and color scheme with a simple, logical setup for the knobs. I particularly like the big blue monitor level knob which goes to. eleven!
Speaking of the exterior, whats this 4K Legacy button all about? SSL puts it this way:
"Engaging this switch allows you to add some extra analogue magic to your input when you need it. It injects a combination of high-frequency EQ-boost, together with some finely tuned harmonic distortion to help enhance sounds. This enhancement effect is created completely in the analogue domain and is inspired by the kind of extra character the legendary SSL 4000-series console (often referred to as 4K) could add to a recording."
Of course thats just the company talking, so what do I find of this 4K effect? First off, its not a miracle cure for bad audio. Id call this effect a subtle sound colorizer thats actually quite pleasing to the ear. It adds some mojo to your mix, especially if youre using a dark sounding microphone. Mind you, once youve recorded in this mode, you cannot undo the effect like you would with a digital plugin.
To hear the difference, heres a short recording, first without 4K and then with the switch engaged. Lastly, youll hear me line by line without, and then with 4K. Ive used my new and darkest sounding microphone, meaning the one that accentuates the lows in my voice.
IT WORKS OUT OF THE BOX
What I like about the SSL2 and 2+ is the fact that these units are pretty much self-explanatory. Theres no need to go into a virtual mixer (as was the case with the iD22) and fiddle around with different settings. Everything just works as advertised. The online user guide is easy to follow -even for beginners- and SSL support is very responsive and eager to help.
By the way, these SSL desktop interfaces also come with free digital audio workstations like Pro Tools First and Ableton Live Lite (plus some other cool stuff for those who are into music production).
PROS AND CONS
Lets end this review with a list of what I liked and liked less. Ill start with what I liked less about the SSL2+.
The housing seems sturdy, but its part plastic, part metal. Audient (their main competitor) makes all-metal units, but they are more expensive (the iD14 model is about $300 with fewer features).
Theres no on/off button. Whats up with that? My Audient iD22 didnt have one either. Its less of a problem with the SSL2+ because its bus-powered, so it turns off when you shut your computer down.
The cord connecting the unit to the computer is too short. My preamp sits to the right of my iMac, and I needed a longer connection. I just dont like it when youre excited to try out a brand new piece of gear, and you cant because of a short stupid cord.
The LEDs dont show enough dynamic range. Its a five-step ladder LED meter going from -40 to 0, and Id like to see a few more intermediate steps. Its not a deal breaker though, because most of us will set the gain looking at our DAW.
The headphone sockets are on the back. I prefer to have more direct front access. That way, the cords dont get entangled in a mess of wires.
The 48V phantom power buttons are black and small and they dont light up when engaged. In poorly lit surroundings its not always easy to see if these buttons are pressed down.
Unlike my iD22, the SSL2 and 2+ units dont have a high-pass filter which I think is a useful feature if you want to cut down on low rumble in your recordings (and your microphone doesnt have that switch). Ive attached a Shure A15HP C In-Line Hi-Pass Filter to my unit and it does the job, but you can also filter your audio with a plugin in post.
Ive read reviews that dont recommend using low-impedance headphones with these units. Nonsense! My Austrian Audio Hi-X55 cans have a low impedance of 25 ohms, and sound magnificently detailed through the SSL headphone amps.
And then theres the Legacy 4K effect. Some reviewers love it and wont record anything without it. Others think its just a gimmick.
Now for the pros.
By building these interfaces in China, SSL was able to put them on the market at an insanely low and very competitive price. The SSL2 is a little over two hundred dollars, and the 2+ comes in under three hundred. This includes the production pack software package.
These may be entry level units, but they definitely bring superb Solid State Logic sound quality to your home studio. The overall no-frills design is intuitive and just makes sense. I like the sloped shape, and the controls are smooth and sturdy. This plug and play audio interface is easy to use. You dont need an external power supply, and yet it has enough oomph to go to 11, and feed a dynamic/ribbon microphone!
CONCLUSION
In short, the SSL2 and SSL2+ offer outstanding value for money. Dont let the audio snobs talk you into buying expensive boutique preamplifiers. Spending more cash doesnt automatically mean your sound quality will get exponentially better.
In fact, the more money you spend, the smaller the audible improvements will be. Who are you trying to impress? Your Facebook friends or your Insta-buddies?
Give me a break!
For a little over two hundred bucks you can get all you need to power your voice over studio with pizzazz!
Whats more, youll feel very good about having saved some hard-earned money.
And thats a logical, solid state to be in!

5.0 out of 5 stars Qualche euro in pi, ma suona da paura.
Verified PurchaseNella sua fascia costicchia un po di pi, ma per gestire un SM7B senza Cloudlifter (che il motivo principale per cui lho presa, ovvero la botta di gain, insieme alla silenziosit sul rumore di fondo e alla qualit dei preamp) eccellente. Il 4K schiarisce il suono e lo mette pi in faccia, va a gusti ma lo trovo un ottimo colore specie per le voci. Sento che ci sono mugugni sulla potenza delluscita cuffie, io uso delle Superlux HD681 e mi trovo benone. Il mio parere, insomma, che sia una scheda ottima, indirizzata specialmente a chi cerca tanto gain e un suono di qualit. Si pu discutere sul fatto che abbia le uscite 3/4 sbilanciate o che non abbia indicatori dei livelli sofisticati (tipo il display della MOTU) personalmente son cose che non mi servono: a me interessava un prodotto con il focus sul suono, e questo per me lo assolutamente. Le altre caratteristiche (numero e tipo delle uscite, assenza del display, presunta plasticosit dello chassis ecc) andranno ovviamente considerate da ciascuno secondo le sue priorit. Sicuramente se non il colore o il tipo di suono lobiettivo, ci sono schede pi rifinite ed equipaggiate nella medesima fascia di prezzo (ed anche un po a meno). Buona anche la dotazione di software in bundle (specie i plugin SSL).

Verified PurchaseLa SSL 2+ es una interfaz de audio profesional con una calidad de sonido impresionante. Sus preamplificadores brindan una se?al limpia y potente, y el modo "Legacy 4K" agrega un toque analgico muy agradable. La construccin es robusta, los controles son intuitivos y la latencia es mnima. Adems, cuenta con dos salidas de auriculares independientes, algo muy til para trabajar con otra persona. Tambin ofrece salidas adicionales y conectividad MIDI, lo que la hace muy verstil para produccin musical y grabacin. Sin dudas, una excelente opcin para quienes buscan calidad de estudio en casa.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing performance
Verified PurchaseI purchased two audio interfaces: the Audient ID14 and the SSL2+.
If you want to record vocals, choose the SSL2+; however, using 250-ohm headphones with it is not possible; it simply cannot drive the headphones.
Use Audient for headphones or any other audio interface.
SSL2+ never gets hot, no matter how often you use it, thus it's a fantastic product.
Go for it.
It's well worth the money.
