Solid State Logic’s new 2+ USB Audio Interface brings studio quality to Personal Studios


Professional personal and collaborative studio package brings together 40 years of music production knowledge and technology.


More than an audio interface


Solid State Logic studio tools have been at the heart of music production for over 40 years, helping world famous artists, producers and studios to create so many of the records you’ve come to know and love. Now, with SSL 2+, you get all that hit-making know-how in your own personal studio.


With beautifully SSL-designed analogue microphone preamps and immaculate 24/192kHz conversion for studio-quality recording, pristine monitoring paths and high-performance headphone amps for crystal-clear playback and an intuitive front-panel low-latency monitor mix control, you’re always ready to capture the next great performance.


The ‘Legacy 4K’ mode – inspired by classic SSL consoles, gives you the ability to add extra analogue character and sparkle to your sources when needed.


To top it all off, the included ‘SSL Production Pack’ software bundle, which includes some of SSL’s own studio-grade Native plug-ins and a carefully selected range of DAWs, samples, loops and virtual instruments from industry leaders, gives you an incredible arsenal of tools for creating your next hit.

Solid State Logic SSL2+ USB Audio Interface Review / Explained (Differences between SSL 2 & SSL 2+)
 Today I walkthrough, explain, and review the new Solid State Logic SSL2+ USB Audio Interface, demonstrate what the 4K switch does, test it with the SM7b, test it with electric guitar and electric bass, and even more. I also discuss the differences between the SSL2 and SSL2+ and why you might want this instead of something like the Motu M2. Overall this is a great sounding interface that offers a lot of features for musicians that may prove to be less beneficial for a simpler voice over work flow.  Buy the SSL2+ (Affiliate Links) Amazon: N/A Sweetwater: http://bit.ly/39txLC5 Buy the SSL2 (Affiliate Links) Amazon: https://geni.us/ssl2 Sweetwater: http://bit.ly/38hMOyy Buy the Rode NT1 Kit (Affiliate) Amazon: http://geni.us/rodent1 Sweetwater: http://bit.ly/2Xrwl62 Bandrew Says Podcast: http://www.bandrewsays.com Subscribe For More Videos: https://www.youtube.com/podcastage?sub_confirmation=1 Become a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvOU-zTlankT-JjN3ZzvuKA/join 00:00 - Intro / Pricing 00:31 - Signal Chain for Testing 00:51 - What’s in the Box 01:13 - Build Quality 01:34 - Walkthrough of Features 03:54 - Specifications 04:25 - Legacy 4k Switch Demo 04:56 - Neumann U87 Ai Test 05:30 - Shure SM7b Mic Test (No Cloudlifter or Fethead) 06:21 - Preamp Gain Noise Test 07:29 - Latency Test 08:32 - Instrument Input (D.I.)
