Solid State Logic SSL 2+ MKII USB-C Audio Interface Reviews
For more than 50 years, Solid State Logic has remained at the forefront of studio and recording excellence. In the process, the company has established a legacy of large-format consoles and outboard gear that has been honed, refined, and expanded throughout the decades to include industry-leading plug-ins, interfaces, and more. The SSL 2+ MKII 2x4 USB-C audio interface distills this engineering prowess into a next-gen, mobility-minded menagerie of state-of-the-art recording possibilities. Studio engineers at Sweetwater are impressed with the SSL 2+ MKII’s continued elevation of the bar first raised by its predecessor, expanding its interoperative recording and performance capabilities to suit virtually any studio setup. From its 32-bit/192kHz converters and 5-pin MIDI I/O to its quartet of DC-coupled TRS outputs and auto-detect instrument DI inputs, the SSL 2+ MKII is primed to perform well beyond the scope of interfaces in its class. Plus, the lauded Legacy 4K mode returns, letting you capture the magic of SSL’s famed 4000-series console, imbuing your sound with distinctive analog character, all from a single push of a button.

SSL 2+
this audio interface is arguably the best in its class/price point outside of Audient brand, the low noise microphone preamps are great, top grade conversion at the price, plenty of gain for any pair of headphones, not to mention you get TWO independent headphone amps, build quality is top notch, as you would expect from SSL, as well as the overall sound quality, beats out many below/same/above the price, highly recommended!
Interface
I upgraded my very old computer to a new Mac, and all of my programs and interface no longer worked (yes, they were quite old and an upgrade was long past due). The SSl 2+ works perfectly for my needs, allowing me to proof my new .wav files, write sheet music in Sibelius from my midi keyboard, and input both audio and midi into Reaper.
It did the job for me!
I needed something rugged and reliable and this was certainly all of that! Good sound quality, to boot.
Failed
Horrid sound quality, failed equipment.
Works perfectly
What you see is what you get! Everything works perfectly. Easy set up, no drivers to download or anything, and SSL provides some good freebies. Great I/O for a portable rig, would definitely recommend!
Sure is Solid
Had asked someone a while back what audio interface they used, and this was what they had mentioned, so I had gone with it knowing it had a solid recommendation from someone that does a lot of audio work snd streaming. It's living up to expectations and I see it being my go to for a while!
Excellent addition to my interfaces
This device is clean, quiet and worth having.
SSL 2+
I got the SSL 2+ to use it as a monitor controller which replaces my Behringer studio M, monitor controller as it started to go on and off with the sound. I already have the big SSL 18 audio interface as the main. I wanted to use the SSL 2+ to control my 2 pairs of studio monitors since it has a big volume knob. The difference in terms of audio quality between the behringer and the SSL 2+ is huge. I noticed the difference right away. It is a great addition to my setup. I am extremely happy with the SSL 2+.
It's okay but I don't recommend it
Best New Friend
My AXE I/O finally died! The SSL 2+ does things that none of my previous interfaces could never come close to. I never knew an interface could be this awesome. Compact, well laid out and easy to adjust on the fly. Mixes so easy & sounds Amazing. Best piece of pro gear I own.
My SSL 2+ MKII
Moving from the Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 to the SSL 2+ was a big jump in audio quality for me. Having worked with SSL boards in the past, I'm familiar with their quality. I'm happy with the move up. I haven't been able to put it through it's paces yet as my DAW started acting up shortly after the upgrade, but I look forward to creating great music with it soon.
Powerful Audio Interface
I really love this audio interface. I buy the portable ones for on the go, especially when I use MainStage live on stage. To date, this is the best I've ever had. I have not used it for recording or performance as of yet, but I have been trying it out and it's solid. The interface itself is made of great material and the 4K does a lot of justice to the channels. I can't wait to use it on my next gig or on the go recording. I highly recommend this gear, it's the best audio interface I've owned.
Best interface for the money I have found
I've tried every brand of interface, and this is by far the best value for the money that I have come across. The build quality is second to none - potentiometers or rock solid and it is that quiet as far as noise is concerned. Honestly, I would expect nothing less from SSL and I have not been disappointed. One of the nicest surprises was that they have a Handy USB-C to USB-A adapter in the box in case you don't have USB-C on your computer.
Stellar Audio Interface for the Price
Absolutely phenomenal device, really happy with this purchase. I previously used a Focusrite 2i2 2nd gen as my audio interface and my latency sat around 7ms just for input latency and was just not up to snuff for my needs. Now with this device my sound coming out of a Rupert Neves DI box straight into this interface sounds absolutely killer for use on plugins. My latency on Windows 11 is just under 3ms round trip and works great for my intended uses.
Highly recommend
SSL Interface
Plug and play. Sounds Awesome. Small, portable footprint. Came as promised. Same top quality service I've come to expect from Sweetwater. Always above and beyond.
