Product Information

In layman’s terms, this is the delay between the signal being sent into the interface and the moment you actually hear it over your headphones or speakers. The delay occurs because when you sing or play guitar into your interface, the audio is being processed in the digital realm before it reaches your ears. So the processing power of both your computer and the interface plays a big role in this. Additionally, their patented 'Air' mode adds a unique high-end detail for vocal recordings. This results in an organic, breathy quality to the voice. Giving them that posh, professional vibe. x Line-in (6.35 mm) input.
