This guy is very thorough with his presentations. Literally breezes through it but leaves room to understand without rewinding. Watch when he's naming off all the things that comes with it. After each feature and benefit, he pauses for a second before jumping to the next sentence so you can take it in. That only comes with experience.

Very nice entry level units. I am thinking that this means there are bigger, more complex interfaces coming in the future. 👍

[@CentaurusRelax314]

Robert Simpson I would have expected the higher priced offerings first, to maintain/build the brand equity. I would think that, at this price point, a lot of the audience doesn’t even know about SSL. This is surprising. Kinda wish I hadn’t bought my Scarlett last year, but that’s how it goes with all gear.

[@robertsimpson5801]

@@CentaurusRelax314 I can understand that line of thinking. I was thinking that they are counting on their larger format consoles top be viewed as their high end offerings, so in a way, these are much later offerings than any of their consoles. I do like that 4K features on these. I wish that they would offer a assuming box with that feature!

I'm just now getting started with this stuff. Looked at a few other interfaces, but this one looks like the one for me. Everything in on top of the case, not in its front.

I am hoping that SSL would come out with a version of the SiX mixer with an USB audio interface built in. If they do that, I'll be more than ready to buy.

I am only concerned about latency.how does the buffer react to high track counts especially if using ableton.i was going to make a leap of faith towards Apollo x but now you've stopped me in my tracks give us a bit more spec on the convertor.

[@bradszyperski3350]

Im going to be comparing this directly to UAD Arrow I have have very very High hopes that I will be getting away from DSP very soon. That 4k on the Shure... Going to be fantastic on SMB5, Rhode NT1, Ribbons, Definitely running it through the U87 straight in. Im crazy excited lol

[@edwinzuniga4601]

I'm thinking about getting a cloudlifter for my shure7b and Scarlett solo.... can the ssl 2 replace the Scarlett and no need for a cloudlifter

Will this connect to the regular usb 3.0? The type A connector ? I sure hope

[@Ginkoman2]

How are their drivers holding up on windows when using VOIP? I currently have a focusrite solo and experince crackling and huge noise only when using VOIP about 30% of the time. it just randomly appears and hoes away. restarteing your pc and reinstalling their drivers doesnt help. Im currently thinking of upgrading to either the motu m2 or the ssl2. has anyone have experince using these over voip on windows?

[@codylujan]

I bought the 2+ from Vintage king. I bought it while it was still in stock in the first hour it released, got an email saying my order has shipped and i'll be receiving a tracking number. I was so excited to get my hands on this! Got an email the following day saying "we had units and they sold and we'll be receiving another shipment in about a month and you're "close" to the front of the line for our next wave. So I bought a product that was in stock, they sold my unit to someone else and then tells me to wait? Completely unprofessional from Vintage king. First time shopping there and it's my last. Regardless, i'm excited to try this out....whenever I get it 🙄

[@Lpxable]

The 4K legacy mode is lage the air mode on scarlett 3gen?

[@collinclark3669]

I can’t wait to get one of these but my only concern is the 110dB dynamic range. Might not be a huge deal but just a concern. Still gonna use the heck out of it tho 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

That 4k adds some bite to the signal

[@YashVardhanTanwar]

I don't like the fact that all the jacks are on the back. But that 4K control is pretty nice. I've got tons of questions about it.

[@sinkronize]

Hi and thanks for the review! Any idea if it can handle eurorack modular levels?

[@sweetwater]

Hey there! The max input level on those SSL interfaces is +5.5dBu. If you have a way to attenuate your output from the Eurorack system, then you will be just fine. Generally, folks using eurorack gear with an audio interface will have a line level shifter of sorts in order to drop that signal to a recordable line level. I hope this helps! Nick Pasquino, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 3230, [e-mail]

[@tonylancer7367]

SSL should have really added a DSP for their software. If they did, it would easily become the best audio interface, rivaling the Apollo at a much cheaper price.

[@robinweber9640]

dsp is pricey. Native is the way to go

[@tonylancer7367]

@HaveMercyMissPercy What do you mean native effects? You mean effects that are in the DAW in "real-time"?

[@tonylancer7367]

@@robinweber9640 Honestly, that doesn't make any sense. The Steinberg URC interfaces have DSPs and yet are much cheaper than the SSL.

[@tonylancer7367]

@HaveMercyMissPercy But that would be dependent on the person's computer and the latency that the computer has.

[@D-One]

wow... 270$ for the 2+ !? I was expecting a price tag of 500$... I might get one.

[@kentlofgren]

0:48 Isn't line level and instrument level (e.g. electric guitar) the same? Newbie here.

[@madness8556]

I really like my SSL 2+ but SSL should have replaced those RCA outs with proper balanced jack outs for outputs 3 and 4, adding the ability to easily run two separate pairs of monitors.. It's great to see however that a recent firmware upgrade adds loop back functionality to both the SSL 2 and 2+ which is invaluable for podcasting.
