Crystal microphone preamps and vocal recording performance

Built-in Crystal microphone preamps provide a clean and easy-to-edit input foundation for vocals, voice-over, and acoustic instruments.
For beginners, it helps reduce common issues seen when recording with built-in sound cards, such as noise floor, distortion, and insufficient level.

Direct Monitor low-latency monitoring workflow

With the USB / Direct monitoring switch, you can choose whether to hear the live input or the processed signal inside the DAW depending on the recording or mixing situation.
During recording, it reduces the feeling of feedback delay, making it easier for singers, voice actors, and musicians to maintain rhythm, pitch, and performance stability.

Instrument input and flexible personal recording

The instrument input can directly accept signals from guitars, basses, keyboards, and other sources, making it convenient for recording demos, practice material, and short social media videos.
For singer-songwriters and solo musicians, one unit can handle the basic recording needs of both vocals and instruments.

Switchable phantom power and microphone compatibility

Provides switchable +48V phantom power, supporting most common studio condenser microphones and giving you more freedom in microphone selection.
If using a dynamic microphone, phantom power can also be turned off as needed to maintain a simple and safe recording workflow.

Bundled software supports the beginner creation workflow

Official materials state that MPC Beats, 20 Avid plug-ins, Xpand!2, and Eleven Lite are included, which can be used for beat production, virtual instruments, and guitar amp simulation.
For beginners, you can start recording and arranging immediately after purchase without preparing a full software environment separately.
