If you've always wanted an SSL Console in your professional studio but balked at the operational costs, the Solid State Logic ORIGIN is the desk for you. This 32-channel console provides the layout, vibe, glue, sonics, and flavor of a classic SSL desk—but that's not all: the ORIGIN has powerful, versatile, and cost-saving features designed to make professional hybrid mixing an absolute pleasure.

Need the most accurate, transparent sound for one project, but warmth and saturation for another? PureDrive preamps will give you both on a per-channel switchable basis. Concerned about your monthly electric bill? Don't be: the ORIGIN automatically detects when you're idle, going into a power-saving mode to run at 40W rather than 900W. Comprehensive routing, 4K EQs on each channel, and a 2-fader per channel setup are all on hand. With the ORIGIN in your studio, you can achieve high-quality hybrid mixes with the aplomb for which SSL is world renowned.

The Master Control section is the heart of ORIGIN, designed with all the easily accessible features and tools needed to ensure a fast and creative workflow. Taking sustainability, ergonomics, modern gain-staging, and communication requirements into consideration, ORIGIN offers a reassuringly familiar Master Control feature set, with some ahead-of-the-curve functionality.

The SSL Bus Compressor is a fundamental feature of all SSL Master Control tiles, and it sees a number of enhancements in ORIGIN. You'll find extra compression ratios over previous versions, an insert/return path for the sidechain filter, and a built-in sidechain detector circuit as well. Whether you need punch or glue, this compressor will provide it.

A central track-bus routing matrix features 16 trims for the track buses, each with a range of ±10 dB, and each with routing-assign switches for each bus.

Startup costs are one thing, but operational costs are quite another. For all those who run a studio, this is a big deal: an Auto Sleep mode automatically recognizes prolonged periods of inactivity, and puts the console into stand-by, reducing power consumption, and making ORIGIN significantly more efficient than legacy SSL consoles.

Comprehensive Solo controls provide choice of Solo-In-Front with Mix balance, Solo-In-Place for Large, Small & Group faders, and PFL options. Solo Level, Solo Clear, and a Red Light Switch complete the available options.

The mix bus features a high-quality 100mm fader, with a fully balanced, switched insert for external bus processing.

The monitoring section offers independent trims for alternate monitors 1 and 2, as well as a variable DIM level, a Mono switch, left and right mutes, and an Invert Polarity switch for the left channel. You can select your monitor source from the main mix, three external stereo sources, or a front panel stereo 3.5mm jack input, with a Sum switch allowing selected sources to be listened to simultaneously.

Four stereo return inputs enable ORIGIN to route to mix and track buses with level-controlled feeds to stereo foldback outputs A and B.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will an iPad Pro 12.9'' (2020; usbc) be able to connect to and power this unit?

A: The Solid State Logic SSL 2+ USB-C Audio/MIDI Interface is not designed for use with mobile devices like the iPad Pro 12.9"; the current draw is high and the tablet battery will be drained quickly.

Q: 2. Can I use the TRS outputs and RCA outputs at the same time(4 speakers)

A: Yes you can use both at same time

Q: 3. I would need to Connect 3 Avid 16x16 I/O, is this possible?

A: No you can only connect two 16 in 16 out. The desk is 32.

Q: 4. why do you recommend this particular mixer?

A: The question would be better posed as why would you recommend this particular mixer ? This is a desk made for live work and is well suited for the job. With 32 in's and 8 sends these can be especially useful when dealing with multiple cue mixes and several EFX sends. Most of the dynamic parts of the desk such as the one knob compressor and auto ducking, will save you a lot of set up time which is very valuable in a live situation. There is a Stereo Image function that will help narrow the stereo spread which can be useful for live work. Along with both a standard type (Comp) and a 3-band divided (Multi-band) compressor across the 2 mix output bus. I would recommend this desk for the numerous options it has along with a very straight ahead design.

Q: 5. Can the headphone output be assigned as a 5th and 6th output?

A: No, the headphones are summed stereo returns mixed with inputs.

Q: 6. From an Apple Mac Studio (M1 Max version), into this SSL2+, what cables do I need? I assume that on the Mac Studio, I'm using one of the USB-A outputs on the back.

A: When connecting to the Apple Mac Studio with M1 Max, the Solid State Logic SSL 2+ Desktop 2x4 USB Type-C Audio/MIDI Interface could use the computer's Thunderbolt or USB Type-A inputs for its host connection. The interface includes both types of cables with purchase.

Q: 7. Odd question, can you use the SSL2 as a 2 Mic mixer and line out to MOTU audio interface that is hooked up to computer?

A: The SSL would still need power from the computer so this will not work.

Q: 8. If a phantom button is pushed on, will it be memorized after the unit is turned off or disconnected?

A: Once the +48v botton is pressed, it will stay on to provide phantom power to the channel, even when the unit is turned off and back on again.

Q: 9. Is the software Mac compatible?

A: This device and it's software are Mac compatible.

Q: 10. I'm wondering if any PC owners have had a problem with the software/drivers for this audio interface crashing their computers?

A: We are not aware of any users having problems with their computers when using the software drivers for the Solid State Logic SSL 2+ Desktop 2x4 USB Type-C Audio/MIDI Interface.
