音楽制作向けのMUSICモードとライブ配信向けのSTREAMINGモード、２つのモードを備える手のひらサイズの超小型オーディオ・インターフェース。

■Audio Interface
■USB

This lightweight and compact audio interface can be switched between two modes with a single switch: MUSIC mode, which supports multi-channel input and output for music production, and STREAMING mode, which supports stereo input and output for live streaming. Compatible with various devices equipped with Windows/Mac/iOS/Android, and operates without drivers via a simple USB connection*. With its palm-sized portability, you can use it for various purposes with sound quality up to 24-bit/96kHz, anytime, anywhere, on any device.
* When connecting to a smartphone/tablet, a separate USB cable or conversion adapter that matches the shape of the connector is required.
** A dedicated driver needs to be installed only when recording to a DAW application on a Windows computer.

The MUSIC mode for music production is the ideal mode for DAW applications that support multi-channel input and output. As with a general audio interface, you can record each input, such as guitar and vocals, individually (multi-track recording). In addition, you can assign different stereo mixes to each of the two independent headphone jacks (A/B) for monitoring. By sending a mix with a click only to the performers' headphones, you can perform live in sync with a recorded backing track.

Streaming mode is suitable for live streaming applications with stereo input and output, and is also ideal for webinars and remote meetings. The audio from each input can be stereo mixed (L/R) and streamed, and two people can monitor the same stereo audio at the same time using two headphone jacks. By turning on the LOOPBACK switch on the side of the unit, you can stream background music played on a computer/tablet along with the audio from each input.
