The SSL2+ interface has the excellent sound quality and solid construction that SSL is known for. It is equipped with two top-notch microphone/line/instrument inputs and 24-bit/192 kHz converters from well-respected manufacturer AKM. The SSL2+ gives you pro-studio sonics in a small package. It is housed in a solid-seeming, good-looking chassis and has Neutrik connectors and Alps pots. The SSL2+ can take a lot of wear and tear from being transported to different remote recording locations.

This interface comes bundled with a ton of excellent features, but there are a few that stood out to me. Here is what I am most excited about with this budget audio interface.

BUNDLED SSL PLUGINS

What I love most about this interface is that it's a one-stop shop for everything you need to start recording and producing pro-quality audio. Whether you want to get into recording a podcast, music production, or tracking your band, you can do everything you need (save for the microphones) with the interface and the software bundled in your purchase.

ANALOG CONSOLE SOUND

SSL has done its work to pack as much quality analog coloration and circuitry as it can into this small interface. The interface comes with Solid State Logic's Legacy 4K mode, which gives you the legendary sound of the company's coveted SSL 4000 series analog console for your recordings,

IT'S PORTABILITY

So many things in my studio aren't very mobile. Between the number of wires it takes to connect my synths, the weight of my gear, and the general design I've grown accustomed to, most things don't move once they've found their home, which makes me love anything lightweight and easy to move around.
