M-Audio AIR 192|4 USB Audio Interface
Welcome to your new recording setup! The M-Audio AIR 192|4 USB Audio Interface is a fantastic 2-in/2-out device designed to bring pristine audio quality into your home studio sessions. It features two channels of flawless 24-bit/192kHz audio conversion, thanks to its ultra-pristine A/D converters. You get a versatile XLR-1/4" combo input equipped with a low-noise Crystal preamp offering up to +62dB of gain, perfect for driving everything from studio condenser mics to dynamic mics. There's also a dedicated hi-Z input for plugging in your keys or guitars directly. Monitoring is easy with two 1/4" main outputs for your studio monitors and a dedicated 1/4" headphone jack. A major plus is the lightning-fast 2.59ms* round-trip latency over USB-C, keeping your recording workflow smooth. Plus, M-Audio sweetens the deal by including a powerful software bundle: Ableton Live Lite and a collection of 20 effect plug-ins from AIR Music Technology to get your creativity flowing immediately! It connects via USB-C (cable for USB-A included) and is conveniently bus-powered, meaning no extra power brick is needed.
