Features Designed for Impeccable Recordings

Preamps and Phantom Power

Both mic channels feature Midas preamps with natural reproduction. The +48 V phantom power allows the use of studio condenser microphones, while the per-channel pads protect against saturation from strong sources.

Conversion and Monitoring

The 24-bit/192 kHz conversion ensures a comfortable dynamic range and precise stereo imaging. Hardware direct monitoring enables recording with a natural playing feel, free from software latency.

Connectivity Ready for Everyday Use

The two combo XLR/6.35 mm jack inputs accept microphones, line signals, and Hi-Z instruments alike. The "Signal/Clip" indicators assist in gain setting, while the separate headphone and main output volume controls simplify monitoring during sessions.

It's hard nowadays to find gear compatible with Win7 and that's what I needed for my old machine. I wanted a simple sound card to record my acoustic guitar. Well, it works very well! The preamps seem to be of good quality and powerful. The latency is reasonable contrary to what I would have thought from a USB interface. I've only had it for a few days, but so far I am satisfied beyond my expectations.

Beautiful aesthetically and very convenient. Sound quality in my opinion at the level of focusrite 2i2, but I am not an expert.
