The mixer provides four dedicated balanced outputs with precision Monitor Level control. Outputs 3-4 can be used for an alternative monitor set or as additional line-level outputs. MIDI I/O is also included for further connectivity.
The SSL 12 comes with the SSL Production Pack Software Bundle, including a 3-month free subscription to SSL Complete and an exclusive collection of third-party DAWs, virtual instruments, and plugins. Being a USB bus-powered audio interface, both power and audio are provided via USB.
