使用者建議分析(點此展開)

▼

適合誰購買

Content creators who need one device that handles recording, live streaming, and Podcast, and want to integrate multiple microphones, headphones, and external audio sources through a single interface
Creators using dynamic or low-output microphones who need up to 78dB of clean gain to reduce the need for external gain boosters, while also wanting to handle more input sources at once
Small studios or music producers looking to improve workflow efficiency, and wanting to use the touch interface and built-in DSP to handle multitrack monitoring and tone shaping directly

誰不適合購買

Users who already own a large multi-input/multi-output recording interface and whose current system already meets band recording and extensive external hardware needs
Beginners who only plan to buy the most basic 2-in/2-out interface and do not need multiple preamp inputs, touch control, or live streaming integration features

32-bit Float/192kHz Audio Engine

Uses up to 32-bit Float/192kHz recording specifications, effectively improving detail retention, transient response, and post-production headroom.
Especially beneficial for narration, vocals, acoustic instruments, and high-dynamic-range signals, making it easier to capture clean, clear, and editable source material.

URX microphone preamps and high-gain input performance

The 4 URX microphone preamps emphasize low distortion and high resolution, delivering up to 78dB of gain for more headroom with harder-to-drive microphones.
Supports Phantom Power and can be used with condenser microphones, making it easy to build a complete signal chain for Podcast, voice-over, and acoustic guitar recording.

4 x 4 Simultaneous I/O and multi-source integration

The 4 XLR/TRS combo inputs can handle multiple microphones, instruments, and line-level signals at the same time, making them more practical for two-person or larger discussions, ensembles, and small-group recording.
Additional 1/8-inch analog input and flexible output configuration make it easy to integrate phones, players, external audio sources, and live streaming return signals.

Touch operation interface and built-in DSP mixing

The LCD touch interface lets you quickly switch between settings, mixing, and effects pages, reducing the interruption of going back and forth to the computer during recording.
Built-in Gate, Compressor, EQ, Reverb, Amp Simulators, Voice Changer, and Total FX tools help optimize real-time monitoring and live-stream audio.

Dual USB-C routing and live streaming workflow

The dual Main/Sub USB-C routing concept can send different audio paths to different devices or workflows, improving flexibility for live streaming, dual-PC streaming, and content editing.
It can integrate with OBS Studio, Elgato, and Stream Deck-style control workflows, making sound control and streaming operations more efficient.

Multi-headphone monitoring and collaborative recording flexibility

Equipped with 2 x 1/4-inch headphone outputs, plus a dedicated headset port and flexible 1/8-inch monitoring/input options, making it easier for hosts, guests, and production teams to monitor simultaneously.
For two-person or larger Podcasts, interview programs, and small collaborative recording sessions, it reduces the need for external headphone splitters and additional monitoring equipment.
