SSL 1: 2-in/2-out Interface with Production Pack

The Solid State Logic SSL 1 is a compact 2-in/2-out audio interface announced by Solid State Logic. Channel 1 provides an XLR input with +48V phantom power while Channel 2 supplies a dedicated instrument/line input suitable for guitars and keyboards. The unit features a “class-leading preamp” and includes 4K analogue enhancement alongside 32-bit/192 kHz conversion to capture audio detail. These specifications are presented as the interface’s core input and conversion capabilities.

The SSL 1 includes a high-current headphone output for monitoring and offers flexible power options, including bus power or a 5V external source such as a phone charger or power bank. The bundled SSL Production Pack contains virtual instruments, samples and software tools from Harrison Audio, Slate Digital, Antares, Loopcloud, Native Instruments, AAS, IK Multimedia and Ableton, and the pack also includes SSL’s Drumstrip, VocalStrip 2 and a Complete Access trial. The available sources do not provide this information.

The Solid State Logic SSL 1 is a compact 2-in/2-out audio interface with discrete inputs on each channel. Channel 1 provides an XLR microphone input with +48V phantom power, and Channel 2 provides a dedicated instrument/line input for direct connection of guitars or line-level sources. The interface is configured to permit simultaneous capture of both inputs, allowing microphone and instrument signals to be recorded at the same time. These input and routing details define the unit’s basic I/O functionality.

The device incorporates what is described as a class-leading preamp and a separate 4K analogue enhancement stage that operate on incoming signals. Conversion is specified at 32-bit resolution with a 192 kHz sample rate, and the 4K analogue enhancement is listed as a distinct analogue processing element separate from the digital conversion specification. These elements are presented as the core components of the SSL 1’s signal path and capture fidelity.

For monitoring, the unit includes a high-current headphone output intended for standalone monitoring needs. Power options for the SSL 1 include USB bus power or an external 5V source, with the external option cited as compatible with common devices such as phone chargers or power banks. These power configurations are listed as the available means to operate the interface in mobile or bus-powered setups.
