Big Studio Features, Small Desktop Footprint

Building upon the success of the SSL 2 and SSL 2+, the is a highly portable 12-in / 8-out, bus-powered interface that delivers all of the professional, studio-grade quality and legendary analog character one would expect from SSL in a compact form factor, ideal for content creators and producers on a tight budget. With pristine 32-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA conversion, you will capture every detail and nuance of your recorded sounds, while ADAT input and intuitive console-style software mixing allows the SSL 12 to be both a studio centerpiece and a portable production hub all at once.

Intuitive and Efficient

Each input channel is arranged vertically like a large-format mixing board, providing 5-segment LED metering, selectable 48V phantom power, mic and line-level operation, and a Legacy 4K switch that adds real analog color enhancement to any input source, inspired by the classic sound of 4000 Series consoles heard on countless hit records. Stunningly low noise, unrivaled EIN performance, and a huge gain range ensure optimal sound quality in any recording scenario. And with a wide range of I/O and routing options, as well as a plethora of included software, the SSL 12 can tackle just about any recording scenario you throw at it, from mobile recording setups, live performances, and podcasting applications, to serious studio work and sophisticated content creation.

Comprehensive I/O in a Small Desktop Footprint

Despite it's compact size, the SSL 12 is loaded with a huge amount of professional studio features normally reserved for high-end rackmount interfaces. For tracking, the ADAT connectivity together with onboard talkback mic and an incredibly powerful cue mixer (that allows you to create up to 4 independent near-zero-latency performer mixes) handle the most demanding recording sessions. For mixing, alternative monitor switching and assignable front-panel control-room functions put everything you need at your fingertips. For production, USB Loopback, MIDI I/O, and DC-coupled outputs for CV control of synths and FX equip you with a serious toolkit to keep the creativity flowing.

Real Analog Enhancement Inspired by The SSL 4000 Series (4K) Console

SSL has a history of innovation in analog electronics and console design. Whether it's the sound of the classic 242 and 292 EQ circuits, the punch of the legendary SSL Bus Compressor, or the incredible bandwidth and sonic accuracy of the groundbreaking SuperAnalogue designed mic amps and consoles, SSL is always moving forward with analog. Legacy 4K is an all-analog enhancement effect inspired by the character of an SSL 4000 Series console (often referred to as 4K). It distills two essential characteristics of the 4K sound into a single circuit. Engaging the Legacy 4K circuit introduces a forward yet musical-sounding high-frequency EQ boost, adding some excitement to your vocal or instrument. Secondly, add some subtle analog distortion with finely tuned harmonic content, to bolster any sound with more edge and personality.

Flat, Wide-Range Frequency Response

The flat-frequency response enhances the midrange and high frequencies that are associated with the human voice.

Rejection of Electromagnetic Hum

Improved rejection of electromagnetic hum—optimized for shielding against broadband interference emitted by computer monitors.

Air Suspension Shock Isolation

Internal air-suspension shock isolation virtually eliminates mechanical-noise transmission.

Pop Filter

The detachable close-talk windscreen eliminates the need for any add-on protection against explosive breath sounds—even for close-up vocals or narration.

Cardioid Polar Pattern

The classic cardioid pickup pattern is designed to reject off-axis audio, so you can sing or speak at a comfortable angle. And, it captures the sound with minimum coloration, isolating the signal source helps to reduce feedback issues.

40mm Drivers

The ATH-M40x features 40mm dynamic drivers with rare earth (neodymium) magnets and CCAW (copper-clad aluminum wire) voice coils for high-quality sound reproduction.

Tuned for Flat, Accurate Response

The drivers and headphone design work together to provide a sonic signature tuned flat for accurate sound monitoring across the entire frequency range. With a frequency response of 15 Hz to 24 kHz, the ATH-M40x can reproduce a full spectrum of tones.

Over-Ear, Sound-Isolating Design

The ATH-M40x utilizes a circumaural design that contours around the ears for excellent sound isolation in loud environments. This over-ear, closed-back style is optimal for reducing bleed and separating you from outside sounds.

90° Swiveling Earcups and Foldable Design

Equipped with 90° swiveling earcups, the ATH-M40x ensures a great fit and allows effortless one-ear monitoring, a welcome benefit for DJs and singers. The earcups fold up to meet the headband, saving space during storage. A carrying pouch is supplied for protection and convenience while transporting the headphones.

Two Detachable Single-Sided Cables

To expand its versatility, the ATH-M40x incorporates a detachable cable design that exits from the left side. This enables convenient cable swapping and makes it easier to distinguish the different sides of the headphone. Two cables are included—a 3.9 to 9.8' coiled cable and a 9.8' straight cable.

3.5mm Plug and 1/4" Screw-On Adapter

The attached cable is terminated with a gold-plated 3.5mm TRS mini plug for easy hookup to mobile devices, MP3 players, and computer headphone jacks. A secure 1/4" screw-on adapter is included for compatibility connectivity with audio interfaces, mixers, and dedicated headphone amplifiers. Built-in strain relief on the 3.5mm mini plug reduces the likelihood of damaging the connection if the cable is pulled.

Pro-Grade Build Quality

Thanks to the pro-grade earpad and headband materials used in the ATH-M40x, the headphones provide increased durability and comfort while delivering enhanced audio and effective isolation.

Five-Panel Flexible Design

Five adjustable panels, each with a fold-down top panel enable you to configure the filter to meet your acoustic needs. Spread the panels to form a filter wall for miking speaker cabinets, or fold them to create a narrow, 300° enclosure for maximum isolation and dry, clean vocals.

The panels feature a stylish black finish with red accents.

Three-Layer Acoustic Isolation

The RF-5P-R filter offers three-layers of isolation that includes a high-density acoustic foam, a layer of acoustic fabric, and perforated screens.

The high-density acoustic foam absorbs acoustic reflections and minimizes room ambience.

The perforated screens diffuse sound as it passes through the shield, preventing sound reflections from bouncing off surfaces and back into the microphone.

Fold-Down Top Panels

The RF-5P-R is equipped with flip-down top panels that help minimize noise coming from above the microphone including overhead air ducts and fluorescent light fixtures.

Mic-Stand and Desktop Isolation

Built-in feet let you mount the RF-5P-R on a desktop for recording podcasts at home or in the office.

The 5/8"-27 thread enables you to mount the filter on a standard studio mic stand.

Adjustable Microphone Bracket

Whether you’re using a large-diaphragm studio condenser or a handheld dynamic mic, the sliding bracket lets you position your microphone inside the filter for the ideal isolation.
