Audient Console Mic Preamps
Two discrete Class-A microphone preamps based on Audient's flagship console design provide clean, detailed audio with ample gain for demanding microphones.

Analogue Intelligence Platform
Combines genuine analogue signal processing with onboard digital processing for flexible recording, monitoring and sound shaping.

Analogue Tone Suite
Four dedicated tone-shaping tools let you modify the character, warmth and brightness of recordings before they reach your DAW.

Orbit Variable Impedance
Changes the relationship between the microphone and preamp to produce different tonal characteristics, with Punch, Smooth and Vintage voicings.

HMX Harmonic Saturation
Uses a discrete MOSFET circuit to add analogue warmth, harmonic richness and body to recorded signals.

LIFT and GLOW Processing
LIFT adds high-frequency sheen, while GLOW combines LIFT and HMX processing for a fuller, more polished sound.

RoomTune Monitor Correction
Compensates for room acoustics using the interface's onboard DSP, providing system-wide stereo monitor correction without plugins or additional CPU load. Requires an RM1 Reference Microphone, sold separately.

Hardware-Accelerated DSP Effects
Onboard EQ, compression and reverb provide zero-latency processing without relying on the computer's CPU.

Smartgain Automatic Gain Setting
Automatically optimizes microphone input levels based on your performance, helping you establish appropriate recording levels quickly.

High-Resolution Audio Conversion
32-bit conversion provides detailed audio performance with extended dynamic range for recording and playback.

JFET Instrument Input
A dedicated front-panel instrument input accommodates electric guitars and basses with an analogue amplifier-style response.

ADAT Input Expansion
An optical digital input allows additional recording channels to be added through compatible external equipment.

Flexible Monitor Control
Two stereo monitor output pairs, an assignable function button and a multifunction control wheel provide convenient control over your monitoring setup.

Dual Headphone Connectivity
Dedicated 6.3mm and 3.5mm headphone outputs allow two people to listen simultaneously without an adapter.

USB-C Bus-Powered Operation
Connects to compatible Mac and Windows computers over USB-C, with no separate power adapter required under normal operating conditions.
