This single-channel USB-C interface records one source at a time through a combo XLR/TRS input with switchable 48V phantom power and up to 24-bit/192kHz conversion. It is fully bus-powered, so the USB-C port handles both data and power from a Mac, PC, iPad, or iPhone. A pair of balanced 1/4-inch monitor outputs and a front 1/4-inch headphone jack handle playback, while 5-pin DIN MIDI In and Out let you patch in a controller or synth.
Universal Audio’s one-in USB-C interface with a combo XLR/TRS input, dual balanced monitor outs, a 1/4-inch headphone jack, and 5-pin DIN MIDI.
