Engineers will particularly appreciate the Auto Gain and Clip Safe modes, which automatically adjust levels to avoid distortion, so you can focus on what matters: capturing your artists at their best. Plus, Air mode, with its Presence and Harmonic Drive functions, brings an analogue warmth to your recordings, reminiscent of the sound of vintage consoles.
Low-latency monitoring and 24-bit/192kHz converters ensure clear, accurate real-time listening. You can also send your mixes to multiple destinations thanks to its six internal mixing sections. In a word, every detail has been designed to offer optimal comfort, whether for solo projects or in a full studio.
