Songwriters, podcasters, streamers, mobile beatmakers, or bands looking to launch backing tracks on stage will find here a simple, reliable, and ready-to-use tool. Connect microphones, guitar/bass, or keyboard, open your DAW, and capture clean takes whether at home, rehearsal, or on the go.

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.
