You've got a low-noise Crystal preamp/TRS input with +62dB of gain for driving studio condenser mics to stage dynamics, along with a hi-Z input for direct-routing keys and guitars into your song or score.
A lightning-fast 2.59ms* round-trip over USB-C gives the AIR192|4 the edge over most units in its class. And whether you're listening back using its dedicated TRS speaker outs or its high-headroom headphone output, the AIR192X4's USB/Direct balance knob sets you up for time-critical monitoring. A software suite that includes Pro Tools First and Ableton Live Lite hosts, Avid's Eleven Lite guitar suite and effects plug-ins, a generous outfit of AIR Music Technology virtual instruments, and 2GB of Touch Loops content equips you and the M-Audio AIR192X4 with all you need to start making great recordings straight out of the gate.
