Thank you for checking out the Solid State Logic SSL2 and SSL2+! Let us know what you think of these new interfaces in the comments 👇 Stay tuned for more of the latest in live audio and recording by liking this video and subscribing to our channel 👍
using usb connect to the power pack as a monitoring preamp?
i see this as a $140 per channel SSL preamp!!! im getting this unit just for the 4k button!
Sweetwater how do i get that 4k sound with my Waves plugin?
This or MOTU M2 or M4 ???
Trung Le same deal with me 😅
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.
That's a good sign that someone knows what you their talking about when they explain it in a simple way
Mitch is a legend. Def something not very many ppl can do well
right, Mitch always taking care of us
When Solid State Logic considers home-recording-schlubs like me its target market, you know things are good!
I’ve got the SSL 2+ for more than 3 years now and it’s still amazing!!
Recently purchased the 2+, I love your videos. Watching your review prior to getting it started, the 4K button 🤯
And one more thing - Mitch Gallagher could sell me pretty much anything, whether I needed it or not. He might just be Sweetwater's most valuable asset.
Ha! True
Surprisingly affordable for an SSL product. Would love to see a larger version with more inputs and outputs and professional features.
I think one with 4 inputs and an SSL compressor would be a great one...
@300bpm And be worth every penny. LOL. These are still great SSL products (at least on paper and in the video). I'm more interested in seeing how it works with iPad OS...
Marcus Manderson he mentioned class compliant...does that mean it can be hooked to an iPad or iPhone? I'm looking for live streaming solutions.
Check out the SSL 12. Your prayers have been answered by the SSL gods! 👍
Sweet fancy Moses. I fully expected to click the link and find a $1,200 price tag.
So did I
nope bought mines for 400
Very nice entry level units. I am thinking that this means there are bigger, more complex interfaces coming in the future. 👍
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.
@@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!
@@CentaurusRelax314 Sell your Scarlett and get one boss. You may enjoy the upgrade.
they already there since the 70s lol
@@gorillachilla There is a significant difference between an audio console and an interface... 👌
Best sounding budget home studio interface on the market!!! Pro results!!!
Interesting? I hope gen 2 come with adat inputs or with more channels. Realtime ssl eq and/or compression plugins would be cool too.
forever UAD
RME is outstanding. I thought the same thing. If this had adat in it would be purchased instantly. Price is great though
The six has all that (but are considerably more $$) But yeah if these had adat, id buy one immediately
The 4K mode also makes the signal a lot louder!
JESUS CHRIST!!! HAVE YOU CHECKED THE PRICE! IT'S AFORDABLE!!!!!!!
definty hope you will say that to the 16/20 version also! lol
E. A are those debuting at NAMM??
I would easily pay triple the price if it means I'll never have to look at another 2 ch interface for many years to come. So I am a little reserved about it. Although I absolutely will look at a 8ch/16ch version of this.
@@e.apollis2877 To which 16/20 version are you referring? I can't find anything that's hinting that they're making this, but I hope they do.
@@ImagineRecordings lol, its not out yet, that was my own model name i just made up🙈
wait what? how is it only $279?!? this is insane. it sounds so good.
Thanks Mr. Gallagher!!! ⭐ I ordered mine this week with Sweetwater! Greetings from Puerto Rico! 👍🏼🇵🇷
I've had the SSL2+ for a couple of weeks now and i love it, sounds great and looks cool on my desktop.
How to plug 3.5mm headphone? I just bought this. Noobie here! Do i need to headphone adaptor or headphone amp?
I’m in the market for this interface. It’s two yrs later, are you still happy with it? Any reliability issues, build quality, etc?
@@jonp3890 yes, still happy with it👍
@@bloots23 Thanks for the quick reply, I really do appreciate it.
My wife just gifted me the 2+. Thanks for this overview!
I'm so excited for these! I want the SSL 2+ so bad!!
Mitch Gallagher would make a great villian in Star Wars! He would probably be able to sell the Empire some quality equipment too!
Mitch could sell me literally anything. I’m not an impulse buyer by any means, but he’s got a gift..
Woooow wow 🤩 well done SSL !!! Looking for rackmount interfaces with more i/o for semi-pro studios competing with Clarett 8Pre etc.
Mitch is always awesome. Best in the biz at what he does. Oh and the SLL stuff looks great.
Placed my order just in time before they went out of stock! Cant wait.
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.
dsp is pricey. Native is the way to go
@HaveMercyMissPercy What do you mean native effects? You mean effects that are in the DAW in "real-time"?
@@robinweber9640 Honestly, that doesn't make any sense. The Steinberg URC interfaces have DSPs and yet are much cheaper than the SSL.
@HaveMercyMissPercy But that would be dependent on the person's computer and the latency that the computer has.
i am really glad for this, all im waiting for is for it to be successful that they start making an SSL 4 with Line inputs for it to be used with analog gear
👍
Wait wait wait, and they’re AFFORDABLE!?!? SSL actually made an AFFORDABLE product!!? 😳 **swoons**
I didn't even see this comment until after I replied to your comment back 9n mine. Lol at least we have something common knowledge about this company.
@Keribi lol not a clue.
Keribi Probably, but like I said elsewhere in this comment section, if the factory’s ethical and turns out high-quality products, doesn’t bother me! 🤷🏼♂️
@Keribi Most likely. Fusion, SiX are both made in China...so this probably is as well.
@Keribi they dont really do that lol
This is actually a game changer! I like it.
I think they dropped the ball not to adding the “Talk Back” button & built in mic feature tho
Amazing Price Point for an Interface with the SSL Name! In the future, I hope they include a Dim & Mono button on the Interface as well as a dedicated secondary Monitoring output. That would be pretty amazing 🙌
By the way, those right-hand fingernails on my man Mitch says he's a serious guitar player.
Its the wizaed casting a SSpeL on u!
It's like the cauliflower ears of guitarists. you know not to mess with a guy with cauliflowered ears and you know respect the playing of a hand with a few well-manicured keratin plectrums 😄

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. Much more usable on the table. I'm also glad this works with windows stuff, I just haven't got the budget for another computer.
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.
Sounds great! But I'm still waiting for one to have an onboard compressor!
That's what I was hoping for too. One day. LOL...
Never need that pos
@@georgev2087 yea not for rock and grunge its for hiphop and voice over it's perfect for us.
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.
How can you thumbs down this video. SSL is industry royalty and they charge a lot for there shit these are under $300 that’s amazing price point. It will run perfect with my SSL Six mixer
Will the USB one work on iPad? The price on these is incredible!
Agreed man, everything is awesome and everything is unhappy.
@@dafingaz dont think so but I will ask at NAMM
Shazamm the iPad Producer 🙌🏾
This will be my mobile unit.
That 4k adds some bite to the signal
For less than $300? They're giving it away!
giveitaway giveitaway giveitaway giveitaway now!
What a time to be alive. We can all have an SSL for well under $300!
Wow, this thing is gonna sell a lot, I want one.
Latency, preamps and driver comparison: SSL2+ vs Audient id22 vs motu m4 ?
Same here. Thinking of switching form iD14 to this
@@mikelo303
audient or ssl 2? I want to buy one which I recommend
@@mikelo303 exactly, zero useful information given for stuff like this
@@mikelo303 the iD14 offers ADAT expandability to 10 (total) inputs... This does not. Plus the Audient preamps and converters are very good.
@@808owens Yep you are right. I am sticking with Audient anyways. Cool to see other companies like them to go into this market.
Instead of midi if they provided an Adat interface..n 4 balanced output... the card would have been a pancake.
Finally I went for the Audient id 14 mk2..
Thanks for the nice review...Sir.
Nothing on their website mentions what the dynamic range of the converters is. This is sort of a red flag to me.
It says on this video
@@thisisDeus nope
Alex Breyer these days the cheapest converters is of high spec, worry more about bit depth
@@e.apollis2877 What interface isn't giving me 24 bit? I'm not concerned about 32 floating point necessarily, but that's common too now.
The converters are 24bit. That's all it says about them in the user guide
They've made a huge mistake on the + model with Outputs 3-4 being unbalanced!
You need to know more about unbalanced cables, dude!
they haven't
Damn at $280 bucks it might be time to upgrade from focusrite ....
Not just upgrade to the focusrite clarett
@@xoxo-pp7ru I have the Clarett 2pre and I hate it 😒
This will blow Focusrite out of the water with clarity etc.
wow... 270$ for the 2+ !? I was expecting a price tag of 500$... I might get one.
three things stand out from this video:
1. i want 2+ as usb-c is the way now
2. Mitch's jacket is awesome
3. Mitch is a guitar player (fingernails asymmetric)
Nice presentation, concise, informative. Subscribed.
Anyone else agree his voice is amazing!
Mitch is that DUDE! Awesome overview
I'm thinking out from pro tools /interface into the ssl 2+ mic pres with the 4K buttons engaged then back into pro tools
Someone needs to shoot this out against an Audient interface. I think it could beat the Audient ID14 and ID22, but I'd be more interested in comparing it to the ID44 as it has better pres and AD/DA being the flagship model. I would buy the SSL over the ID44 if it sounded better, regardless of the extra preamps and features.
Agreed. The SSL is interesting but I won't replace my Audient until I see a proper shoot out that blows me away. .something like Julian Krause's channel does.
This is a great audio interface. Love it.
I would have made the 48v, line and HiZ (Select Buttons) white.. That simple attention to detail would have been nice to see.. love it nonetheless.. guess I'll have to do a bit of upgrading myself once i get my hand on one.. GREAT WORK
What we really want to know is how good the drivers hold up at low latency. It is all good having great hardware, but if the driver is not up to scratch, then it is not worth buying.
I have the same issues with the old Apogee Ensemble Duo, great hardware, rubbish drivers.
We need to see latency benchmarks.
I had the same driver issue with the scarlett solo 3rd gen that I had to return it. The driver got so bad that it screwed with the preamp's gain. Going for a uad apollo twin just to avoid these driver issues. I think it really has something to do with these newer cheap units being bus powered.
I only trust RME or UAD now because of software.
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 🙄
What’s with them doing such low channel counts on all their new devices...2...6...like I get that there is a market for this but to really make it useable in a studio give me a rack 8 or a 12 channel mixer.
Glitch Computer selfish ass foo. Not everything is about you 😏😏😏
I hope they start making more audio interfaces that have more options to work with outboard gear
audient or ssl 2? I want to buy one which I recommend
LATIN MUSIC tough choice, I was getting ready to go purchase the iD44 in a Few weeks, this might give that a run for the money minus a few things the ssl2+ does not have, but $699 vs $279, and the plugins and software might have to pull back on that purchase ssl2+. I’ve been using the if 14 for about the past 3 yrs good purchase all around great build and sound quality.
Thanks for the video Rich!
Got to love Sweetwater! 👍🏻
What preps/converters are better? This or the Scarlett???
Wow!! If this isn't an indication of where the music game is with technology. Love it!! Too bad I already have an Apogee Element 24 that's amazing, but still these things are going to sell like hot cakes!
Hello, I had a problem with my SSL2+ solid state logic. The problem started suddenly, the output stopped giving sound but it showed the input signal. Would you help me to fix it?
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.
How about the DA converters , are thy good enough for mixing/mastering .. compared to the UAD Apollo .. how do you think ?
If i wanted to use this as a preamp only, not an audio interface, could I power it with a phone charger brick?
Shame you can't do A/B monitor switching on the 2+ with Outputs 3/4.
I didn't know this was the case. The plus version and maybe these overall are a hard pass then. Plus nothing about their adat ):
Yeah that was something I was really looking forward to.
you can change to output 3/4 in your daw
can someone tell me what the Lock icon with the K on it under the usb c slot behind it
It is called a Kensington lock or K slot. It's to lock down the hardware so people don't steal it. Check out the wikipedia en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensington_Security_Slot
My ssl makes a hissing white noise when i turn up the gain on both channels what do i have to do to fix that. Please help me!
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
When bigpro market brands are this late to the party they often sell subpar re-branded technology. I would have more faith in a brand who has already made a name in this budget segment. If it truly is SSL quality for home market, I'd be really excited though : )
From what I hear talking to my guys at Store DJ this audio interface is def worth getting excited over. Should land this month in Oz and just $469 for the plus model.
I have purchased ssl2+ ..but don't know how to get those free plugins in Mac so that I can use those on my logic..it's very confusing..do we get free plugins or not ..
I thought the prices would start at around 900 dollars. And I am happy I was wrong!
The 2+ looks great but why even bother with the cut down standard version??? Totally inferior, the MIDI and additional outs are a must! Either way, 2 inputs on either version are just not enough, 4 should be the minimum.
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
great sound card, but i would love to see SSL4+....with more inputs outputs...regards
0:48 Isn't line level and instrument level (e.g. electric guitar) the same? Newbie here.
my wig is flippin right now and they are actually affordable verse and Apollo!!!!!!! IM DEFINITELY INVeSTING
A tempting purchase. Might consider it on my next paycheck.
How can I make use of the 4K colour on a whole mix?
I’m purchasing a used SSL 2+ but the seller says it comes without software. Is it difficult to get the software? Where is it available? Thanks.
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. My focusrite 3rd Feb start wheezing after 25 track and on overdubbing vocals.i need a stable machine .
Vocalstrip 2 and Drumstrip are both $200 each. Those are great plugins to be getting for free
how will this do with the shure sm7b do i need a cloud lifter
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 😂🤷🏻♂️
Do they have the same preamps?
Hey, Bauti Cassaglia. Thanks for reaching out about the SSL2 and SSL2+. These interfaces use the same PreAmps, but the SSL2+ gives you more versatility with options for Inputs and Outputs. That’s about it really, but if you have any other questions feel free to reach out. Thanks and have a great day!

I would much rather have heard an instrument like bass or guitar for the 4k button test. Spoken word doesn't do much as for the demo.
@HaveMercyMissPercy If it's an eq curve it could be adding gain, which is probly what's happening.
I’m waiting for mine!
Where is SSL 4
storm trooper or 8???
This actually is amazing, here's why... first off, think of how many SUCKY interfaces that are out there for the same price range. This might just take the market from all those, and force other companies to actually make decent stuff. Either way, this places very usable tech in the hands of anyone. I do want to see a more elaborate video featuring info on the output jacks & recorded music? I hope Sweetwater decides to do this, I see this product bringing in the business
why does nobody ever mention the headphone amps ?? most of them are crap so it would be good to know the output specs for them in particular
flyoverfredusa xxxxsmai
flyoverfredusa my slate digital vrs8 has the best headphones amps I've heard on a interface I mix and master through headphones with them
@@KeenApollo thanks man :) should be for 2k !
flyoverfredusa lol definitely agree it's my favorite Interface I actually prefer it to some outboard preamps I use it to record straight in.
I definitely want this!
Any idea on ship dates? all places are still taking preorders
How many ms is the recording latency used on macs (logic pro x)? and will there be a loss of quality (or latency) because the interface is not power-supplied?
No mention of latency :/
2:25
This any better than Focusrite Pro24?...
thank info about SSL 2
Will the 4K button make my audio recording of my digital piano sound better?
What's the story with this SSL2+? Are the pres and AD/DA converters significantly better than say a Focusrite Scarlett or Steinberg UR series? Will there be an audible difference? Thanks.
Give me a rack version and I'll kick Motu 8 pre es to the curb.
Loooool
