Key Details
- Flexible Input Array: Features 2 x combo XLR / 1/4″ jack inputs for microphones and line sources, plus 2 x additional 1/4″ jack inputs for instruments or synths.
- Visual Signal Monitoring: Backlit controls provide immediate visual feedback, with knobs that light up in response to input levels and turn red to warn of clipping.
- Precision Gain Control: Includes a dedicated instrument level switch to ensure consistent signal strength between line and instrument sources.
- Phantom Power: Integrated 48V phantom power switch allows for the use of professional condenser microphones.
- Integrated USB Hub: A built-in USB-A hub allows you to connect up to two standard USB devices (such as MIDI controllers) directly to the interface, saving valuable computer ports (up to 250mA).
- LoopBack Functionality: Effortlessly record or stream audio from your computer alongside your live inputs, ideal for podcasters and content creators.
Use Cases
- Home Studio Recording: Simultaneously track a vocalist and a guitarist or a stereo synthesizer using the four available inputs.
- Live Streaming & Podcasting: Utilize the LoopBack function to mix your microphone input with system audio from your DAW or web browser for a professional broadcast.
- Mobile Production: The compact footprint and USB-C connectivity make it an ideal companion for laptop-based production on the go.
- Hardware Integration: Use the onboard USB hub to keep your MIDI keyboard and other peripherals connected to the interface rather than cluttering your laptop.
