Consistently designed for mobile use on small live sessions with hardware synths, drum computers, modular systems and external effects units. In conjunction with an iPad* and hardware controller, the combination becomes an easily transportable, highly flexible performance mixer with effects chain and complex routing options. Always perfectly tailored to the requirements of the respective setup.

Converters

With 24bit resolution at 96kHz, less than 4ms roundtrip latency (tested with an iPad Air M1) and converters with 110dB dynamic range, even the highest demands are met.

The use of line levels at the inputs eliminates the need for additional preamps and dedicated gain controls. This direct in lowers the noisefloor significantly. The high resolution as well as the dynamic range offer sufficient scope for digital post-processing.

USB and audio connectivity

USB Audio Class Compliance 2.0 and power supply via USB simplify connection and eliminate the need for additional cables and mains adapters. The consistent use of durable high quality stereo mini jacks also enables a compact and cost-effective design and simplifies the connection of smaller synthesizers, which are often also equipped with mini jack outputs.

Larger devices can also be easily connected using the mini jack to dual mono jack Y-cables. Of course, the channels can also be used mono with corresponding Y cables.

Headphones

The integrated headphone amplifier allows pre-listening separately from the master out. A switch allows to cue the outgoing channels 1/2 or 3/4.

MIDI

In addition, Midi In and independent dual Midi Out are available as TRS-A/B auto-sense at the input and TRS-A at the output sockets.
