2-in/2-out Thunderbolt™ audio converter
The audio converter usesThunderbolt™, the latest generation of high-speed interface technology.
With this, we have realized a system with low latency that was not possible using USB 2.0. Since it also
supports recording and playback at up to 24-bit/192kHz, it can also be used for the playback of high-
resolution sound sources delivered with superior audio quality over the Internet.
Attention to audio performance
The entire system reproduces the original audio faithfully. An asynchronous transfer system
that is not impacted by computer jitter is used along with the latest AD/DA converter, which
supports 192kHz.
High-performance mic preamps
Burr Brown brand mic preamps that can provide a maximum of +60dB amplification and
+48V phantom power are used for each of the inputs.
dedicated mixer application
Use this application to make internal mixer and monitoring effect settings. For details about
, see the ZOOM website (http://www.zoom.co.jp/downloads/).
