SSL 2 MKII Audio Interface

The SSL 2 MKII is a straightforward recording interface for school studios, music-technology workstations and mobile production setups. Two microphone, line or instrument inputs support vocals, instruments, synthesisers and stereo sources, while clear front-panel controls make gain staging easy to teach.

Its two headphone sockets are useful for paired work and supervised recording, although both carry the same monitor mix.
