Solid State Logic has appointed 22live as its distributor for the full SSL Live product line, including consoles, interfaces and software solutions, in the UK. Under the agreement, 22Live will provide local reach including sales and technical support on behalf of SSL, well as supporting its customers in the music, education and performance venue markets.
‘22live carries a strong reputation and presence in the UK Live sector,’ says Sam Bath, Sales & Distribution Manager for the SSL Live portfolio. ‘This relationship will help us extend and expand the full range of services we can offer customers for our SSL Live product line, including sales, rentals, support, and training.’
22live secured its first SSL sale in December 2024, which included an SSL Live L350 Madi Tour Bundle for A-Live – a prominent equipment rental firm based in Scotland that routinely specs equipment for high profile festivals and tours.
Martjin Van Renterghem, MD of A-Live and a live sound engineer in his own right, played an instrumental role in the purchase: ‘I personally fell in love with the SSL Live series seven years ago in Belgium where DEE had some in the warehouse I was prepping,’ he says. ‘In 2025, it was time for A-Live to purchase a top tier console, and with a few brands to choose from, we went straight to SSL. Now having done a few gigs and a small festival on the L350 Plus, it’s hard for us to go back on any other console.
‘The audio and build quality of this rig is incomparable to anything I’ve come across in my 18 years of working in the industry worldwide,’ he adds. ‘The SSL aligns perfectly with A-Live’s ethos of always working towards the best possible quality audio experience.’
‘We believe we will be able to expand the addressable market for SSL in the UK, considering the high quality and flexibility of its products as the needs of our customers continue to evolve,’ says 22live Commercial Director, Alex Penn.
