Compact 2-in/2-out audio/MIDI interface for Mac, Windows and iOS devices with 2 ultra-HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) microphone preamps that provides clear sound quality and advanced features. It provides two XLR/TRS mic/line inputs with switchable +48 V phantom power to use with condenser microphone, two switchable high-impedance inputs for direct guitar or bass recording, two TRS analog balanced line outputs and standard TRS headphones output jack with separate controls for line and headphones output volumes. USB port is class compliant with 2.0 support for plug-and-play operation on Mac OSX, Windows and iOS devices, while MIDI I/O provides direct connection to synthesizers, drum machines or controllers. Interface also includes lincense cards for two DAW applications to choose from – Cakewalk SONAR X3 LE and Ableton Live Lite 9. Ultra-HDDA preamps deliver the cleanest and quietest operation in their class while delivering up to 57 dB of gain – ideal for any type of microphone (ribbon, condenser, dynamic). They also achieve EIN rating of -125 dBu, meaning their noise level is practically below the range of hearing. Interface also features NE5532 op-amps that are used at the audio input and output stages, +48V phantom power for all inputs, an input muting function that eliminated noise from unused inputs, and a direct monitoring function for zero-latency monitoring. Its angled design provides excellent usability on a desktop. USB cable (used as well for powering) is included. Dimensions: 186 x 65 x 160 mm. Weight: 1.1 kg.
