SSL really should make a matching 8 channel mic pre unit with adat out to pair with this unit.
I'm really impressed by the level of professional utility for this price.
My boi Mitch Looking Hella Clean!
Thanks Mitch, another great gear video covering all the important info.
I like where they are going... i was one of those guys that asked for a bigger one, but i would love to see a 8/8. I have just two Outs left here after connecting my monitors. Then a Stereo Pair to my outboard-chain and then i'd love to make use of a mono DC coupled out to my modular and maybe another synth. I know headphones can be switched to line outs but yeah... But i'm still happy to see SSL continue this series of interfaces. 🥰
I keep feeling like SSL is RIGHT around the corner from releasing like a be-all-end-all home/project studio piece, but they just aren’t quite there yet. Some sort of hybrid between this, the UC1, and the Six or Big Six… 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Maybe 😊
I heard a TH-camr say that they may be even working on a DAW. Not sure if that's true but it would be interesting
@@DJSlaughter Hm… THAT, to me, would feel like a “me too” product - ESPECIALLY after Luna - but yeah, I guess we’ll see!
@@yobhsiFehT It's not even a rumor. I heard one TH-camr talk about a DAW, but another thought that SSL is positioned to make a modular interface/console since they have the controllers, the 360 software, summing mixers, and interfaces. I was hoping for a little more out of this interface, but their target appears to Audient rather than integrating with their existing products.
They recently added the 9000J EQ to 32C-10 Pro, not sure if they’re offering upgrade pricing though.
I love the 2+
What it really needed most was an ADAT input for expandability. Glade they added it to the new one. I think this is a gamechanger and will lead to many more pros using this interface.
The major downside is that they added four ports to the front when the 2+ had a perfect rear-only layout :/ It's a desktop interface and I don't need cables in the front, so the 2+ it is. What a bummer.
Also, do the two Hi-Z inputs in the front disable the first two microphone preamps on the back? I know Audient's EVO 8 does this, for instance.
@@RideTheLightning93 I imagine the front ports are just a convenience option if you are sitting at the desk and want to plug a guitar directly in. I bet you can just as easily only use the back ports.
What I would like is if they just added an ADAT port to the 2+.
Why would you have a cup of coffee on the desk... ugh
Wow, I almost missed that part about the outputs being DC coupled. That's a really cool feature. Thanks, Mitch!
So. It’s kind of just like UAD console, but for ssl and looks like an ssl console.
Love it!!!
Let's all agree to the fact that Mitch is our Santa.
Thanks for the helpful overview.
It goes to 11. I. Am. Sold.
Lol
Needs more cowbell
I have the SSL 2+ and grabbed it when it was first released and I love it! This looks promising enough to upgrade from that
Finally! 2 headphones, ADAT + loopback. Thank you!
Excellent walkthrough. Thanks :)
Finally new ssl console.
I still using my ssl2 but I probably I will upgrade.
Excellent review.
Sweetwater.... Amazing Company. Genuine Products with Biggest Trust. Love you Guys. Cheers.
Yes!!! This will be my next interface. I almost bought the 2+2 on Black Friday but wanted a little more I/o and Adat. This is it and more and that price is very competitive
Daaaamn Mitch - lookin like a whole zaddy with that fit my boy! Good for you lmao 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Pretty dope glad it's only me recording on my ssl 2+
Finally some LEDs! I teach an audio elective class and students are always struggling with not getting sound because they can't tell which switches are in or not
yes. who ever thought removing them was a good idea.
Looks impressive! Love the 2+
Bravo Mitch ! Great fast and easy presentation....of an Awesome product......SSL ...does it again....
I liked my SSL 2+. Nice preamps. I sold it because I bought a Avid HD Omni. But SSL put out a great product again. 👍🏼
I have the SSL2+ as well. Beautiful pres and converters.
Have the 2+ and love it might grab this one
I have an issue on my Motu Ultralite Mk4, where the audio intermittently glitches out and sounds metallic once every 10 minutes or so (particularly when tracking analog inputs from it to my Macbook Pro) .. Seems a very common issue with that interface, so looking to replace it with something like the SSL12 or an RME interface and use the MOTU as a standalone mixer w/ ADAT output. Fingers crossed that the glitchy MOTU audio doesn’t also show up in standalone mode- it’s been a PITA ever since I got it from Sweetwater a few years ago.
THEY DID IT!!! THEY'VE LISTEN TO US!!!!! THANK YOU SSL
I'm interested in how loud the monitor outs are, and how the interface I/o is exposed with class compliant setups
Wow. This sounds great
I waited forever for this to drop and I went the audient route... ID44 (mind you the Mk2 released 3 months later) but somehow I'm content ❤🔥🔥🔥. M just glad my hunch came to fruition.
i got the SSL12 and i love the hardware quality. but i found some issues with the software, at least on windows, where it “freezes” controls of the SSL360 software, and now when i open the software it recognized the interface on the home screen, but not on the console screen. l tried to reinstall the software but not it doesn’t even appear in the apps inside my Pc…
let’s see if SSL support will find this
thank you Mitch!...
No direct hardware monitoring/blend control for that is a must for me. Shocked they didn't include that.
It's all handled in the SSL 12 software mixer (with lots more flexibility about balancing DAW playback against input signals) - one knob to balance up to 12 inputs against USB playback wouldn't have worked very well.
I gave away my SSL 2, I used to love it but the build quality is not really cutting for me. Scratchy pots all day :( inaccurate everything. But the sound it can produce superb!!
Switched to UAD btw and it was night and day. Kudos to Mitch as usual for another informative video! I’ll keep on watching Sweetwater’s videos regardless if I plan to buy or not 😅 just eye candy enough
Got the UAD Solo..Loving it
When you say night and day which interface are you saying? UAD? You did mention the superb sound of the SSL, how would you compare it to the UAD?
@@SMEL night and day between UAD and SSL. In terms of how I use it. In sounds, it’s really hard to describe because most of interfaces will sound similar but not as clean as a high end preamp like on a UAD. I’ve had latency problems with my SSL, for Idk why, I was using the same computer. But now as I’ve upgraded my system, it doesn’t really matter since UAD has almost zero latency monitoring since it has it’s own processing. That itself is the “experience” that is incomparable. I am speaking as a guitarist who practices a lot in the box. And also a producer/engineer who does this on the side.
@@ChinoMagliba thanks that's helpful!!! most gear these days come down to workflow... I like the fact your speaking as a guitarist. I'm a Mac user and looking to record guitarist directly in... I have some current options, but want a one step option, just input and play, but want an interface with character (musical). This is what grabs my attention on the SSL vid.
I have the Apollo rack SF quad, SSL gets blown away. However, I still love it, but it’s not an Apollo by no means.
Do we still need a gain knob with 32Bit Converters ?
Thanks Mitch! Do you happen to know if the 12 can be added as a layer to the UF-8? (so that the UF-8 can control the fader/cut & solo in the new 12 mixer?)
Hey Simon, thanks for the question! This would be an awesome feature, since the 12 has so much mixing capability under the hood! In fact, I brought this very question up to our SSL rep when he was here! Unfortunately, this is not a current feature on the SSL 12. Our rep thought it was a great idea, but as far as we know, there are no concrete plans for this to be a feature. I will bring it up again next time they are here, but be sure to drop a line to SSL yourself! If they know customers want this, that will make it worth it for them to add it!
If you have further questions, give me a ring!

Just a question. Do you get all the SSL plugs with this interface?
I can only dream of having the musical talent to require one of these, but I appreciate the man in charge knowing his shit and not just repeating features and benefits presentations that have been implemented like an automoton, like Apple.
Wonder what this is like compared the babyface pro..does it sound better or worse?
Audient iD44 vs SSL12.. which one better in sound quality wide? and features
very nice, concise explainer Mitch,. I have an SSL 2+ (bought from Sweetwater of course). I bought it after all my existing interfaces showed either quirks or complete failures on my first M1 Mac (a MacBook Air A1). Then I got a MBP 14" M1pro. I tried the MOTU product and it was worse than the old USB A/Intel CPU generation AIs. After talking with Richie, my SE, and my own research, I decided the SSL 2+ would get the job done with lots of desirable, modern, compatible features. Boy were the two Rich's right that this was the right system for me. I love it and it works on all my M1/M? Macs perfectly.
The problem is I need 4 inputs for my current work. The older interfaces I have that support that would require me to configure and use older Intel Macs. Once you go M1 you don't look back. My first question was does SSL have an upgraded product to the SSL 2+. YES. Is it reasonably affordable: YES and no. In Jan the cash should flow. Also need new guitar (excellent value such as Fender Mexican Tele or Strat or maybe even classic vibe and small tube amp head (low wattage). But all that other quipment doesn't come into scope until the audio interface and audio signals are all properly cared for. Figuring $1-2k to get things to where I want them for 2024. Thanks for turning us on to this SSL 12. I will be buying one.
I was hoping for a bigger interface, one that’s Made for the SLL SiX, not sure if this is the one..
Ooo! Ok, now this one is cool!
This looks impressive, finally a contender to the audient id44. Would love to know what the ad/da is like on this. One trick they missed was to add a g bus compressor on 1 or 2 of the channels as an on/off switch like on the SiX. That would have been game changing for those with no need for a mixer.
and a price bump lol
32bit D/A 🔥
I have the id44 1st gen. For the price point, its really hard to beat but this SSL looks promising.
As AN* on off. Stop doing that. AN before a vowel, A before a consonant. If you can't handle elementary school stuff, get out of the way of real engineers.
@@JTguitarlessons dude, shut up lol
Nice
I'm wondering if it has a better Windows support than UAD.
I have an SSL 2+ and really like it. I only wish that it didn't have its outputs 3 and 4 on RCA connectors and that you could easily set it up to run 2 sets of monitors independently, but then again, that's why SSL have released this new interface.
Thank you sir
Since there is no monitor-mix knob anymore, how do you exactly blend the mix with a new vocal track that you are recording? What exact feature on the 360 mixer does this?
its done through the provided software.
When will it be available, I definitely want one! 👍👍🎼🎵🎵💪
@3:30 - can we assume the 5-pin DIN In and Out are MIDI? It was not stated.
As an aside, I notice you have both the head worn mic plus a lav - what's up with that?
Redundancy in case of failure
Does this interface have direct input monitoring? Thanks in advance.
I've waited through the EVO 16, 476P, and M6 releases for this only to find that they ditched the all-rear I/O format.
Looks like I'll just grab an SSL 2+, then. All I want is a clean desk! :(
I struggle to believe it can reliably feed 48v to four microphones, headphones, etc. from a single USB power feed. I’d like to see that bench tested.
Many non-pro devices are weak with their 48v feeds, so this might be on par with those.
Not a problem over USB-C connection 👌
Mitch is a pro.
OK so apogee quartet or SSL 12….any thoughts?
Can i use this for my android mobile live streaming.?
I have one question, please: can two Speaker-Pairs be used simultanious or just be switched between.
Hi Stephen, great question. You could in theory use two pairs of speakers simultaneously connected to outputs 1-4 of this interface. You would just configure that in your DAW and the included SSL 360 software. However it is worth noting that unless you are specifically mixing a project in quadrophonic sound, this is not advisable for any critical mixing or production application as it can lead to phase cancellation issues and other inaccuracies.
Thanks!

pretty nice
Hey from Dublin.
If I want to connect my Ampeg SGT DI Box to my SSL12, should I connect my Direct line out cable from my DI Box into the Inst 1 or Inst 2 slot on the front of the SSL12 OR should I connect it into one of XLR slots at the rear of the SSL12?
Cheers. Niall
Hi, Niall - good question. I would try both and see what sounds better. On paper the XLR would be the “correct” input, but you may find the instrument input may also suit your needs.
Thanks!

@@sweetwater thanks so much
It’s gonna get ordered the 12th as a Christmas present for my self😁
Can you bypass the preamps for outboard preamp use? Or would you just turn the SSL preamps down as with a Focusrite?
Yes, just hit the line level button at the top of each Channel
@@ezrashanti that didn't bypass the preamps on the ssl2. I don't think that happens here as well
@@sq7507 on SSL 12 Line Inputs do bypass the preamps indeed. Check the manual.
@@BoredQwerty do you know where i can find the manual?
@@sq7507download from their website once product registered
Mitch: What is the roundtrip latency on this interface?
Per the manual, Roundtrip Latency at 96 kHz:
Windows (Safe Mode Off): 3.3 ms
Mac: 4.9 ms
which i s quietr noise... motu m6... or this ssl 12
This will be perfect for the Og ssl6
Is it just me, or there's someone else who's their SSL12 wont handle the buffer size on his bigger sessions? 🤔 My 2+ was doing just fine. Is it my laptop ??
You can change the headphone output to unbalance, does that mean it allows us to re amp the signal to an amplifier?
Hi Na Banana, great question! Those outputs would work better with an Amp than the balanced signal, but I fear there would still be a bit of an impedance mismatch. This wouldn’t break anything of course, but could result in unexpected our suboptimal performance from the amp. I would still strongly consider a proper re-amp box like this guy:
www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ProRMP--radial-prormp-1-channel-passive-re-amping-device
This would ensure that you get a proper high-Z signal into the amp's input.
If you want to dig in further, give me a call!

If SSL made a rack interface with the same I/O as RME Fireface or Apollo X8p, then that would be a game changer! especially if the 4K option were there as well 😀
This sounds like a logical next step for the series.
I think it's definitely good for business for SSL to continue with interfaces. I see potential for them to dominate the market.
@@TheDilligan Agree! 😀
I'm sure it's coming in the next 2 years.
Yes, that would be next level and I’m ready for that move!!!
16 Adat I/O
So switching the headphones out to line level you can have 8 channels line out?
6 total - if you configure HP A or HP B to be in 'line output mode' (instead of Headphone mode), then you can choose them to be balanced or unbalanced mono signals.
@@andyjackson88 aren't the headphone jack a TRS connector? Putting a Y-cable in the HP out would give you 2 channels out, right? RME's interfaces works like that
@@bmsmusician - yes that is true if you’re OK with controlling the level from the DAW (HP A L/R AND HP B L/R level controls in 360 are ganged)
I'm interested about running external preamps into interfaces like these. I'm guessing when you plug into one of the inputs there is no way of bypassing the in-built pres?
Hi Grant, great question! With the SSL12, when you plug a device into the ¼” TRS jack and engage the ‘Line’ toggle, you do bypass the preamp section. This would work great with external preamps for you!
If you have further questions, give me a ring!
Drake Sobehrad, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3271, drake_sobehrad@sweetwater.com
Wow Great question Grant.. Nice to know that as good as those SSL preamps are you can bypass if need be.
Amateur question here, how is this unit compared to uad solo? What’s the big difference between the two?
Hey Tele Caster, great question! Besides the obvious difference in the number of inputs, there are a couple other differences. The biggest is that the UAD Solo has DSP accelerated plugin support. This allows the Solo to use UADs fantastic plugins, some of the best sounding ones you can get. The Solo also has the benefit of UAD’s Unison Preamp system which allows the preamps to accurately emulate famous and awesome sounding pres like the Neve 1073 or the Manley Vox Box.
If you want to dig in further, give me a shout!
Drake Sobehrad, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3271, drake_sobehrad@sweetwater.com
i anyone compared these units to the SSL SiX input?
I love my SSL 2+ 😍 but ist is a Little Bit Limited and i didn‘t want Upgrade to an BigSiX … now ist seems the SSL12 would be Fine Solution 👍😇🍀🥳
Se puede usar para drum set
Hi sweetwater! So... Two Qs:
1- No pad in any input?
2- Could I bypass the preamps to plug an external one?
Thx!
Hi, Eugenio! Thanks for your interest. After double-checking SSL’s specifications, it doesn’t look like there is a pad on any of the inputs. However, setting any of the inputs to “Line” will bypass the built-in preamp so you can use an external one if you prefer. Hope this helps, and feel free to contact me directly with any further questions!

So is the ssl12 considered a dsp interface?
I Need an (SSL 8 ADAT) Now lol please make one 😊 that puts the SSL 12 in charge possibly add channel changing controls with moving faders and gain controls yes yes yes I’m completely nerding out 🥳
Legend
I automatically discard audio interfaces that do not have adat out
and the ssl12 does not have adat out
What headset mic is Mr G using here?
Are the drivers apple M1 compatible? unfortunately about 95% of their native plugins still haven't been updated to M1 its taken them two years two update two plugins and the rest are in the void.
It’s class-compliant on Mac, no drivers required
Having USB 2 connectivity can it handle simultaneous 32 bit recording from all inputs?
Hello, great question! The short answer is yes. However some computers may be limited by their CPU/RAM in that application.
Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

nice!
Is this better than the Apollo twin ?
is the this best ever made?!!?!?!
cual es la fecha oficial en la que salió al mercado esta interface?
recién me entero de su existencia
Salió hace dos días!
Please make a larger rack version 😇
Mitch could be talking about a sandwich maker and I would still buy it. Always at the top of his game ❤
Where can I buy this sandwich maker?
Simply buy 2 SSL (soothing sandwich lovers) tape them together and prepare your desired sandwich. Then place your sandwich inside your SSL. And wait for your Mac or PC to overheat your SSL. Before your SSL explodes remove your sandwich from the SSL. Serve and enjoy.
Pro Tip: Try connecting the SSL Octo Puredrive to the SSL-12 to make a total of 12 preamp/channels! 360 software makes it so much easier to setup and customize compared to other brands!
Pls do this with 8 ins and 10 more with ADAT/SPDIF, please!
Does the 360 software also work with the SSL 2+ ?
2 and 2+ are smaller channel count so don’t require software to manage anything really
@@andyjackson88 I have the 2+ and feel like that would be useful! is it not included then?
Can you use the preamps in standalone mode to another interface?
Hello - great question. There is not a standalone mode for this - it would have to be used as the audio interface. On Mac you might be able to configure an aggregate device with your other interface, but in general the easiest solution would be to find an analog preamp. You can browse our selection here:

Is it going to be an ssl12+
Show us the back!
I have the SSL2+ and this indeed does address what's been missing from that unit. The major issue is being limited to two inputs. The pres are wonderful, the dual headphone outs are easy for setup. What's interesting is the loss of the Input/USB knob which is helpful for balancing the record/playback signals. Not sure from this video how they address that loss.
You use the SSL 360 software to create that as a mix virtually. But I must say, I do like the knob as it is handy and quick as opposed to going into the software and configuring it.
I want this interface but with 2 adat inputs.
Can this be used with garage band???
Can it run 250ohm Headphones properly being powered by a USB bus? (owner of Beyerdynamic dt 770 pro 250OHM)
Yes - it has a 'high impedance' Headphone mode with a greater voltage drive (from the owner of ATH-R70 x 250 ohm headphones)
@@andyjackson88 Thank you for the reply. I am still curious as to how it pulls that power from a USB port though. Might do some audio electronics digging into it. Cheers!
The fact that companies still refuse to have adat-out while going through the effort of putting adat-in is getting truly painful. Immediate disqualifier for me, especially in a mid-size 4 channel interface. Having the input is great, but owning a Cranborne 500ADAT, I just want to be able to mix analog via adat, and it's amazing how few interfaces have adat-out. To me this would have been perfect with that one addition, especially now that it's a digitally controlled interface with the app.
audience id44 I think if it has output out adat
what do you think of that interface? she was valuing to take it
