Solid State Logic and distributor Sound Technology have announced the UK launch of Nucleus 2, a new version of SSL’s professional DAW controller, audio interface and studio monitoring hub.
Five years since the launch of the original Nucleus, SSL has added several new features including a Talkback input with adjustable gain that feeds the headphone output. A large Talk button near the transport controls means the talk circuit can trigger a switchable -20dB DIM in the monitor outputs if desired. Users also requested the addition of a second set of speaker outputs and a Mini monitor button in the centre section for comparing mixes on different systems.
The USB soundcard in Nucleus has been replaced with a new SSL Dante ‘Network I/O’ audio interface. Dante is a professional audio networking technology that uses standard Ethernet to connect devices to computers. In a personal studio where direct connectivity to a DAW computer is required, Dante offers a simple ‘single Ethernet cable’ alternative to Thunderbolt or USB, with a latency of only 4ms when used with the Dante Virtual Soundcard software running on a DAW computer.
The SSL Nucleus 2 is available now priced at £3,399 RRP plus VAT.
