Portable and powerful, it offers SSL performance in a 2-in/2-out USB-C interface. Whether you are starting your journey or producing on the go, the SSL 1 makes professional sound simple, accessible, and inspiring for musicians, producers, content creators, and streamers. The SSL 1 comes with the acclaimed SSL Production Pack, giving you a complete hardware-and-software studio in one package, so you can create music with the sound you love from day one.

Designed to Follow You Everywhere

Durable and compact, the SSL 1 is class-compliant and works seamlessly with iOS devices, as well as laptops and desktop computers. It is powered via USB from your computer or externally with a 5V power bank or mobile charger — ideal for recording wherever inspiration strikes.

SSL-Designed Mic Pre

The SSL 1 features a high-performance microphone preamp designed by SSL, supporting both dynamic and condenser microphones. With plenty of clean SSL gain and top-tier low noise, you can record vocals and instruments with the clarity and detail SSL is known for. Phantom power +48V and a built-in high-pass filter give you essential control for professional recordings.

Simple Connection and Use

Whether it's DI guitar, bass, synths, or drum machines, the instrument/line input of the SSL 1 captures your sound with depth and power. Based on SSL's analog design, the SSL 1 keeps every take rich, dynamic, and full of tone.

The SSL Sound

From flagship SSL consoles to compact interfaces, superior sound quality is at the core of all SSL products. The 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.

Listen Like a Pro

Balanced monitor outputs deliver clean, accurate sound to your speakers, while low-latency monitoring keeps your performances tight and inspired. A powerful high-current headphone output provides detailed, distortion-free playback, and the 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 renowned for the unique character they add to everything that passes through them. Legacy 4K Analogue Enhancement captures the essence of that classic 4K vibe, adding sweet harmonic color and musical lift to the high frequencies, giving your recordings the presence, energy, and character artists have loved for decades.

Professional Quality

Professional-grade design for durability is found throughout the SSL 1. Its easily accessible controls and high-quality components create an interface you can trust with your creativity, now and in the future.

Synth Control

Thanks to its DC-coupled outputs, the SSL 1 can send control voltage (CV) to compatible synths and modular systems, allowing deeper integration with hardware sound design setups.

SSL Production Pack

The SSL 1 includes the acclaimed SSL Production Pack, a curated collection of essential virtual instruments, samples, and software tools from leading industry names such as Harrison Audio, Antares, Loopcloud, Native Instruments, AAS, IK Multimedia, Ableton, and more. Combined with plug-ins like SSL Drumstrip, VocalStrip 2, Complete Access Bundle trial, and many other creative tools, it provides a complete hardware and software solution for music creation with authentic SSL sound.

Applications

Solo Songwriters

With its single microphone input and instrument DI, the SSL 1 is the ideal companion for songwriters who want to record vocals and acoustic instruments with the sound trusted by top artists.

Guitarists; Bassists

Whether using the instrument DI or XLR input from an amp modeller, guitarists and bassists can easily record or monitor ampless rigs at home or on the go, or take advantage of amp simulation software for high-quality recording.

Producers

The SSL 1 is ideal for capturing line-level sources like synthesizers, drum machines, and samplers. The XLR microphone input with phantom power makes it excellent for sampling real sounds into your DAW. It also excels in live performance, providing high-quality conversion and stereo output for software like Ableton Live.
