SSL 2 MKII
A two-in/two-out USB-C interface bringing SSL-flavored preamps and a 4K legacy mode to the enthusiast tier. Phantom power makes it a tidy small-studio or songwriter front end. Streamers who lean on loopback should check higher 2+ MkII configurations, since loopback isn't listed among its features here.
