The SSL 12 is the new flagship of the SSL line of desktop interfaces. With an emphasis on more professional features, the 12 is designed to become the central hub of your home recording setup or podcast studio.

Besides having a total of four preamps and four balanced TRS outputs, the 12 also has two instrument inputs conveniently positioned on the front.

with 32 Bit / 192 kHz AD/DA converter

On the rear panel, the most interesting feature by far for most audio users out there is the addition of an ADAT input. This allows you to expand your 12 with an additional preamp module, making it a more sustainable piece of gear.

Because of the separate instrument inputs, the mic pres now have useful low-cut filters instead of the input impedance switches found on the smaller 2+. What’s more, you now have a useful talkback switch on the main panel.

There’s also software included such as Includes 3-month subscription to SSL Complete,3-month licenses from the likes of Antares and Output. SSL Vocalstrip 2 & Drumstrip, IK Multimedia Amplitube 5 SE, Celemony Melodyne Essential, Native Instruments Hybrid Keys & Komplete Start, Ableton Live 11 Lite, AAS Session Bundle and 1.5 GB Loopcloud Samples

Overall, it’s a more professional-grade interface in a larger form factor that provides a hub for all your audio operations.

SSL 12 is priced at £333 ex.VAT / €399 + tax / $499.
