Know before you buy

The balanced inserts allow you to integrate outboard gear, such as external compressors or EQ units, directly into your signal chain before the audio is converted to digital.
The JFET input is designed to mimic the harmonic richness and warmth of classic valve amplifiers, providing a more musical, colored tone for guitars and basses compared to a standard clean DI input.
Absolutely. It includes an Audio Loop-back feature that makes it easy to route computer audio back into your recording software, which is essential for capturing guest audio or system sounds during a stream.
