Real Analog Enhancement Inspired by SSL 4000 Series (4K) Console
SSL has a history of innovation in analog electronics and console design. Whether it be the sound of the classic EQ '242' and '292' EQ circuits, the punch of the legendary SSL G-Series Bus Compressor, or the incredible bandwidth and sonic accuracy of SSL’s ground-breaking Super Analog designed mic amps and consoles, SSL is always moving forward with analog.
Legacy 4K
Legacy 4K is an all-new analog enhancement effect, inspired by the character of an SSL 4000 series console (often referred to as 4K). With the Legacy 4K button, SSL distilled 2 essential characteristics of the 4K sound into a single circuit, which you can engage when you need to breathe some life into 'boring' or 'dull' sounding input sources.
High-Frequency EQ Boost
The first thing engaging the Legacy 4K button will do is introduce a 'forward', yet musical high-frequency EQ boost, something which 4000-series EQs are known and loved for.
Subtle-Harmonic Distortion
4K consoles are synonymous with imparting a certain 'mojo' to signals passing through them. This mojo comes through multiple stages of harmonic distortion from compressor VCAs, VCA Faders, and other crucial areas like the transistor mix amps. Using modern components, SSL created a circuit that injects a controlled amount of finely-tuned, sweet-sounding harmonic distortion into the signal path, helping to give your sound more edge.
Content Creators
Whether you are recording a podcast, live streaming via social media, or performing karaoke online with friends, SSL 2 is equipped with all the tools you need to make incredible-sounding content. Class-leading mic preamps allow you to capture every nuance of your sound, whilst the Monitor Mix gives you instant zero-latency monitoring. The built-in Loopback functionality ensures your audience hears virtual guests, system audio, and source material with ease.
Professional Studio Quality, Front to Back
SSL designed 2 class-leading, beautifully detailed mic preamps to capture every nuance of every performance, with enough gain to cope with whatever microphone you are plugging in. Many USB-powered audio interfaces use standard IC circuits in their mic amp designs. SSL prefers to use a different approach. The 2-stage design uses a mixture of specially chosen discrete low-noise transistors in combination with ICs. This enables SSL to design mic preamps with exceptional noise performance and a superior gain range. And just because you are working out of your home studio or on the road, does not mean you should compromise on the quality of your audio interface. With SSL 2 Solid State Logic has chosen to use the same industry-grade parts as found in SSL’s larger consoles and I and O products, delivering the same kind of quality you'd expect from a large SSL-equipped studio, into your personal workspace.
SSL Production Pack with SSL 2
SSL has been helping world-class artists, producers and engineers make great music and audio for decades. It is crucial to have the right tools for the job, so they partnered with some of the industry's key brands to offer you the new SSL production Pack, bundled with a registered SSL 2 audio interface.
