Description

This compact USB audio interface gives singer-songwriters, musicians, podcasters, and content creators dedicated inputs for recording a microphone and instrument simultaneously. Its mic and line input, front-panel instrument input, stereo monitor outputs, and headphone output provide an efficient setup for personal studios and mobile recording.

Warmth, Focus, and Shine preamp modes provide three analog-inspired tonal options for shaping recordings at the source. Switchable phantom power supports compatible condenser microphones, while USB bus power and class-compliant operation enable Mac, Windows, iPad, and iPhone workflows. Recording software, plug-ins, instruments, effects, and amplifier tools are also included.
