Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
SSL 12 brings 12-in/8-out USB interfacing into a compact, USB-powered format for recording, monitoring, and routing work. Four mic preamps, four line inputs, two Hi-Z instrument inputs, four balanced outputs, two independently controlled headphone feeds, MIDI, and loopback give a session several connection paths. SSL 360 software handles routing, monitoring, DSP, custom mixes, EQ, dynamics, and cue mixes. Optical ADAT I/O can add up to eight digital channels when a larger input count is needed.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Location recording or home-studio sessions needing microphones, line sources, instruments, MIDI, and two headphone feeds.
- Sessions that need separate cue mixes and independently level-controlled headphone outputs.
- Expanding a digital setup by up to eight channels through optical ADAT I/O.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Setups that require more than eight added digital channels through the listed ADAT expansion path.
