Rear Panel Connections

8 7
: Combo XLR / 1/4" Jack Input Sockets
1 - INPUTS 1 & 2
This is where you connect your input sources (microphones, instruments, keyboards) to the unit. Once connected, your inputs are
controlled using front panel Channel 1 and Channel 2 controls respectively. The combo XLR / 1/4" Jack socket contains an XLR
and a 1/4" Jack in one connector (the Jack socket is the hole in the middle). If you are connecting a microphone, then use an XLR
cable. If you want to connect an instrument directly (bass guitar/guitar) or keyboard/synth, then use a Jack cable (TS or TRS Jacks).
Please note that line-level sources (synths, keyboards) can only be connected to the Jack socket. If you have
a line-level device that outputs on XLR, then please use a XLR to Jack cable to connect it.
2 - BALANCED LINE OUTPUTS 1 & 2
These outputs should be connected to your monitors if you are using active monitors or to a power amp if using passive monitors.
The level at these outputs is controlled by the large blue control on the front panel labelled MONITOR LEVEL. For the best
perfromance, use 1/4" TRS jack cables to connect your monitors.
3 - UNBALANCED LINE OUTPUTS 1 & 2
These outputs duplicate the same signals found on the 1/4" TRS Jacks but are unbalanced. The MONITOR LEVEL also controls
the output level at these connectors. Some monitors or DJ mixers have RCA inputs, so this would be useful for that circumstance.
4 - UNBALANCED LINE OUTPUTS 3 & 4
These outputs carry signals from USB streams 3&4. There is no physical level control for these outputs so any level control needs
to be done inside the computer. These outputs can be useful when connecting to a DJ mixer. See the Connecting SSL 2+ Up To
A DJ Mixer section for more information.
5 - PHONES A & PHONES B
Two stereo headphone outputs, with independent level control from the front panel controls labelled PHONES A and PHONES B.
6 - MIDI IN & MIDI OUT : 5-Pin DIN Sockets
SSL 2+ contains a built-in MIDI interface, allowing you to connect external MIDI equipment like keyboards and drum modules.
7 - USB 2.0 Port : 'C' Type Connector
Connect this to a USB port on your computer, using one of the two cables provided in the box.
8 - K : Kensington Security Slot
The K slot can be used with a Kensington Lock to secure your SSL 2+.
