Whether it’s DI guitar, bass, synths or drum machines, SSL 1’s instrument/line input captures your sound with depth and punch. Built on true SSL analogue design, SSL 1 keeps every take rich, dynamic and full of tone, from the very first note.


The SSL Sound
From flagship SSL consoles to compact interfaces, superior sound quality sits at the core of everything made by SSL. SSL 1 features next-generation 32-bit converters and exceptional low-noise design, delivering stunning clarity, depth and dynamic range. Record and hear every detail, from the quietest nuance to the biggest performance, with the confidence of best-in-class performance and SSL’s legendary sonic character.


Hear It Like a Pro
Balanced monitor outputs deliver clean, accurate sound to your speakers, while low-latency monitoring keeps performances tight and inspiring. A powerful high-current headphone output gives you detailed, distortion-free playback, and built-in stereo loopbacks (three in total) make streaming and content creation effortless.


Legacy 4K
The legendary SSL 4000 series consoles - the iconic ‘4K’ - are famous for adding unmistakable character to whatever runs through them. If you have never recorded through a 4K console, Legacy 4K Analogue Enhancement captures the essence of that classic 4K vibe, adding sweet harmonic colour and musical high-frequency lift to give your recordings the presence, energy and attitude artists have loved for decades.
