Built to Move with You
Rugged and compact, SSL 1 is class-compliant and works seamlessly with iOS devices, as well as laptops and desktop computers. Power it via USB from your computer or externally using a 5V power bank or phone charger – perfect for recording wherever inspiration strikes.

SSL-Designed Mic Pre
SSL 1 features a high-performance, SSL-designed microphone preamp that supports dynamic and condenser microphones. With plenty of clean SSL gain and best-in-class low-noise performance, record vocals and instruments with the clarity and detail SSL is known for. +48V phantom power and a built-in high-pass filter give you essential control for professional-grade recordings.

Plug-in and Play
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.

Pro Quality
Built-to-last, professional design can be found throughout SSL 1. It’s easy-access controls and high-quality components create an interface you can trust with your creativity, now and in the future.
