Get more than an audio interface.
With SSL 12, you get all that hit-making know-how in your own personal studio. SSL 12 is a USB bus-powered audio interface that enables you to get studio-quality audio into and out of your computer with minimal fuss and maximum creativity. The Legacy 4K mode—inspired by classic SSL consoles, gives you the ability to add extra analog character and sparkle to your sources when needed. To top it all off, the included SSL Production Pack software bundle, which includes some of SSL’s own studio-grade plug-ins and a carefully selected range of DAWs, samples, loops and virtual instruments from industry leaders, gives you an incredible arsenal of tools for creating your next hit.
Legacy 4K Enhancement
Sometimes the raw sound of a microphone can sound a little uninspiring or lifeless and you need something to bring it to life. This is where the Legacy 4K button comes in. Legacy 4K is an all-new analog enhancement effect, inspired by the character of an SSL 4000 series console (often referred to as "4K"). With the Legacy 4K button, SSL has distilled two essential characteristics of the 4K sound into a single circuit, which you can engage when you need to breath some life into boring- or dull-sounding input sources.
The first thing engaging the Legacy 4K button will do is introduce a forward, yet musical high-frequency EQ boost, something which 4000-series EQs are known and loved for. 4K consoles are synonymous with imparting a certain "mojo" to signals passing through them. Using modern components, SSL has created a circuit that injects a controlled amount of finely-tuned, sweet-sounding harmonic distortion into the signal path.

The included bundled software pack is worth more than $600.
