SSL has expanded their range of audio interfaces with their new SSL 12 — a 12-in/8-out USB bus-powered audio interface for studio-quality audio into and out of your computer. Building upon the success of SSL 2 and SSL 2+, SSL 12 gives you more. More I/O, more performance and more versatility. SSL 12 is fully integrated with SSL 360° software: Your SSL Control Room. Here you can assign monitor controls, create multiple independent headphone mixes, choose your Loopback source, customise the 3 front panel user buttons and much more.
