Sturdy and great for the home studio
I decided to upgrade to this audio interface after my previous one, which had an infinite encoder, began to fail after about a year. I chose this model based on positive reviews and the quality of its encoders. In terms of sound quality, it performs excellently, delivering clear and reliable audio. However, I do have a few concerns with the build quality - specifically, the buttons feel a bit flimsy and shaky, similar to what you'd find on lower-end electronic toys. While they function well enough for now, they don’t inspire long-term confidence. On a more personal note, I do miss having an output meter, which I found helpful on my previous interface. Despite these minor issues, this is a solid unit and I wish it will serve for many years.

With the MacBook M1 Max chip, some glitches. May be only my case.
This is a great interface and all the good is there of course. The 4k switch is great and the handling is nice too. I have experienced a very weird issue in my case where, once you plug in the sound card, it sometimes makes all the sounds down 1/8th of pitch and 1/8 slowed down. It's a weird glitch that resolves if I unplug and plug in a couple of times. Just be aware if you're using a MacBook with M1 Max, you may experience the same issues and it's just a tiny bit that makes this product feel less reliable than others.

Usefull for a basic setup to record and mix
We used it during 3 days on location for recording a two person podcast.
Did the job but do not expect the real SSL quality in a 200 euro box :)

I use this interface with a pair of Adam T5V, and it works great.
The 4K preamp sim works great with my Aston Spirit for voice and guitar alike, it also gives a little body to the guitar sound when plugging direct to use with Amp Sims.
The level monitors are useless, but i upgraded from a gen 1 Focusrite Scarlet and I'm ok with this. Also, the headphone jack in the back is very inconvenient.
All in all, a great interface for not a lot of money.

Perfect for radio production and two track recording
The dual headphone outs, each with volume, and a separate volume for speakers means that its pretty perfect for simple recording.
It has two mono inputs, which are great 95% of the time, but I do miss another stereo input. But given the price and quality, its close to perfect.
I love this audio interface. I’ve had a few and used a bunch, this is the only one I’ve truly loved.

Clarity and Warmth!
Whilst looking for an audio interface, I stumbled upon the ssl line. I Did a little research, and decided to pull the trigger on it. When I received it I was delighted, it’s beautiful, feels incredibly robust and is very well made. That and all of the free software and plug ins is a great start to home recording. The 4k button is magic, and my only complaint is a very slight latency issue.

Great budget interface!
The knobs are sturdy. Love the 4k button which enhances harmonic distortion smoothly! Will give a 5 star rating for features if it has loopback function but it might not be that important to some users.
Anyway, great interface!
Anyway, great interface!

One of the best entry-level audio interfaces
At this price point, there are no contenders, I think; perhaps only the new line of low-budget Universal Audio interfaces could be put in the same basket, with comparable quality, reliable operation, and cool sound. This is the best entry-level interface on the market, I would dare to say.

love it!
As much I have loved this ssl audio interface that I have near 2 years, but I found also some disadvantages. Type C cable is not stable which is dangerous, a wrong move could destroy it. Also the buttons of ph. power, line, and Hi-Z don't work great, like the quality of them. You push it to enable it but it does not always enable the setting and u should move it a little. Something else I noticed is for 300 Euros mic, it's unacceptable to not support 250-ohm headphones. This interface has a 10 ohm interface, which couldn't believe when I found it! Otherwise, great sound, great feedback, great features, nice build, just another gold SLL machine with its disadvantages.
