M-Audio M-TRACK QUAD

Four-channel 24-bit/96 kHz audio/MIDI USB interface from M-Track series with four flexible inputs that provide the best results with any type of audio source. Each offers an XLR input and a balanced 1/4” input. The XLR input is designed to work with microphones or other Lo-Z sources. The phantom power switch delivers 48V to the XLR inputs for use with professional condenser microphones. The 1/4” input can be set to receive a line level signal, or switched to allow an electric guitar or bass to be plugged directly into the interface. Individual gain knobs ensure the proper input level. Each input channel is also equipped with an insert jack, a professional addition not often found in this class of interface. The insert jack allows studio-grade effects to be used with any input source during recording. The interface offers ultra-low latency monitoring of the input signal – either through the speakers or via headphones. The monitor mix knob adjusts the balance between the direct inputs and the playback from the computer software. In addition, the input signal(s) can be monitored in stereo or mono using the convenient Stereo/Mono switch. This makes it easy to record new parts or add parts to an existing composition. The Headphone output offers its own level control. In addition to the two audio channels, the interface also supports 16 channels of MIDI data and timing information. The MIDI In and MIDI out jacks are compatible with all MIDI equipment. The unit also uses a single USB cable to create a two-way audio and MIDI connection with the computer. Best of all, it also serves as a powered USB Hub. Connect the USB controller keyboard, pad controller, and other USB devices directly to the interface for a convenient, single cable computer connection. A power supply is included. Dimensions: 333 x 89 x 156 mm.
