CONVERSION & CLOCKING
• Class-leading AD/DA conversion with up to 130dB of headroom.
• Recording, mixing and playback at up to 24-bit/192kHz.
• Proprietary 64-bit AFC™ (Acoustically Focused Clocking) technology & Jitter Management algorithm delivering increased sound width, separation, and detail.
CONNECTIVITY
• 4 × Discrete 6-transistor preamps with 75dB of gain for pristine recordings. All work as microphone/line and two are also Hi-Z inputs, on combo XLR jacks, and supply 48V of phantom power.
• 2 x monitor outs and 2 x line outputs via TRS
• Two stereo headphone outputs with separate gain control and mix
• Two independent USB-C ports (OTG) for simultaneous playback & recording
• ADAT Input (up to 8 ch) and S/PDIF I/O (2 ch)
• DC-coupled inputs and outputs for controlling modular synths with control voltage (CV)
REAL-TIME EFFECTS PROCESSING
• Included collection of 37 Synergy Core effects modeled after classic and rare analog outboard gear.
• Synergy Core – proprietary FPGA+DSP platform for real-time effects processing allows up to 48 effects loaded simultaneously with near-zero latency.
• Mic Modeling Engine allows pairing with the Edge microphones for real-time use of vintage microphone emulations.
WORKFLOW-ENHANCING FEATURES
• Direct monitoring with Synergy Core effects, processed in real-time with near-zero latency.
• Easy routing – select audio sources per channel, for each monitoring mix. Also available through the color display.
• Simultaneous playback and recording with two computers or computer + mobile device.
• Flexible loopback options for streaming.
• Customizable presets with signal routing, level adjustments, mixer, and effects settings.
• Customizable monitoring mixes with adjustable levels, panning and reverb.
• Class-compliant, no driver required on macOS and iOS.
• Standalone operation – simply connect to a phone charger and use without being connected to a computer.
• Remote control of software features from a separate computer connected to the same network.
