Built to Move with You

Rugged and class-compliant, SSL 1 works seamlessly with iOS devices, 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 supporting both dynamic and condenser microphones. With plenty of clean SSL gain, best-in-class low-noise performance, +48V phantom power and a built-in high-pass filter, it captures vocals and instruments with the clarity and detail SSL is renowned for.

The SSL Sound

Featuring next-generation 32-bit/192 kHz converters and exceptional low-noise design, SSL 1 delivers stunning clarity, depth and dynamic range. Record and hear every detail — from the quietest nuance to the biggest performance — with the confidence of SSL's legendary sonic character. The instrument/line input captures DI guitar, bass, synths and drum machines with depth and punch, keeping every take rich, dynamic and full of tone from the very first note.

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 provides detailed, distortion-free playback. Three built-in stereo loopback channels make streaming and content creation completely effortless.

Legacy 4K Analogue Enhancement

The legendary SSL 4000 series consoles — the iconic '4K' — are famous for adding unmistakable character to recordings. 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 that artists have loved for decades.

Control Synths

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

SSL 1 includes the renowned SSL Production Pack — a curated collection of essential virtual instruments, samples and software tools from Harrison Audio, Antares, Loopcloud, Native Instruments, AAS, IK Multimedia, Ableton and more. Combined with plug-ins such as SSL Drumstrip, VocalStrip 2 and a Complete Access Bundle trial, it delivers a complete hardware-plus-software solution for making music with authentic SSL sound.
