Core technologies and features of the M-Audio AIR 192|4

24-bit/192kHz high-resolution recording architecture: Supports up to 24-Bit / 192 kHz recording quality, preserving the details of vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and instruments for demos, official vocal takes, and high-resolution audio production.
2 in 2 out simultaneous recording capability: Provides a 2 input / 2 output architecture that can simultaneously accept 1 microphone/line signal and 1 Hi-Z instrument signal, ideal for solo creation, singing with guitar, voice-over, and direct guitar recording.
Crystal microphone preamps: M-Audio’s Crystal preamps emphasize transparency, low noise, and natural reproduction, helping dynamic and condenser microphones maintain a clear, clean, and easy-to-edit original tone during recording.
Independent front-panel Hi-Z instrument input: The front-panel 1/4-inch TS Hi-Z input uses a specially designed gain and impedance stage to more accurately reproduce the dynamics, transients, and frequency response of electric guitar and electric bass direct input.
Ultra-low-latency monitoring workflow: With high-speed USB-C transmission and a low-latency driver architecture, round-trip latency can be as low as 2.59 ms. Combined with the built-in monitoring mix control, it delivers smoother performance feedback during recording and overdubbing.
Zero-latency direct monitoring mix: The built-in monitor mix control can blend the live input signal and computer playback signal, making it easier to manage the monitoring balance when recording vocals, overdubbing, layering, and switching between mixing tasks.
Independent headphone and monitor output volume control: Includes 1 headphone output and 2 monitor outputs, each with separate volume adjustment, making it easy to connect active studio monitors and headphones and switch working modes quickly.
Phantom power support: The microphone input includes switchable 48V phantom power, compatible with common studio condenser microphones and expanding the flexibility of a personal recording setup.
USB bus power: Powered by USB bus power, so no external power adapter is needed. The desktop setup stays cleaner and is better suited to mobile studios and laptop recording environments.
Mac class-compliant design: On Mac, it connects quickly via a class-compliant architecture, while Windows users can download drivers, balancing ease of use and system stability.
Complete music production software ecosystem: Official materials list included DAWs, virtual instruments, effects, and 2GB of loop content, which is especially useful for users just building a personal music production system.
