M-Audio AIR 192|6

M-Audio AIR 192|6 USB Audio Interface — 24-bit / 192 kHz Recording

The M-Audio AIR 192|6 is a desktop 2-in / 2-out USB audio interface delivering 24-bit / 192 kHz studio-quality recording. Two Crystal™ preamps, dedicated Hi-Z instrument inputs, and 5-pin MIDI I/O fit inside a rugged metal chassis, with plug-and-play operation on macOS and Windows driver support.

Crystal™ Preamps and Zero-Latency Monitoring

Crystal™ preamps are engineered for transparent, low-noise capture with an EIN of -128 dBu and 55 dB of gain range. A high-speed USB connection delivers 2.59 ms round-trip latency, while the USB/Direct knob blends live input with DAW playback for zero-latency monitoring.

Flexible Inputs — Microphone, Line, and Hi-Z Instrument

The two channels accept any combination of microphone, line, or instrument sources, with switchable 48 V phantom power for condensers.

• Microphone Preamps: 2 Crystal™ preamps, 55 dB gain range — transparent capture with EIN of -128 dBu
• Combo Inputs: 2x XLR / 6.35 mm TRS balanced mic/line — switchable 48 V phantom power
• Instrument Inputs: 2x 6.35 mm TS Hi-Z, 1 MΩ impedance — accurate DI signal for guitar and bass

High-Resolution Conversion

24-bit A/D converters at up to 192 kHz capture every nuance of a performance.

• Sample Rate / Bit Depth: 192 kHz / 24-bit — professional-grade digital resolution
• Round-Trip Latency: 2.59 ms — class-leading response for live tracking
• Dynamic Range (Mic): 104 dB (A-weighted) — captures subtle performance detail

Outputs, MIDI I/O, and Software Bundle

Stereo monitor outputs and a front-panel headphone output each have independent level controls, while 5-pin MIDI ports connect external synths.

• Monitor Outputs: 2x 6.35 mm TRS balanced, +13 dBu max — drives active studio monitors cleanly
• MIDI I/O: 5-pin DIN in and out — integrates hardware synths with the DAW
• Package Contents: USB-C cable, USB-C-to-USB-A adapter, manual — bus-powered via USB, no external PSU required
