RECORD WHATEVER YOU WANT, WHENEVER YOU WANT

It’s our most comprehensive desktop interface, giving you four mic preamps, round-trip latency as low as 2.74 ms, class-leading sound quality, and two independent headphone outputs, so you can give different monitoring settings to two artists, or an engineer and artist. It’s also expandable over ADAT.
