Frequently Asked Questions
The capacitive touchscreen feels notably snappier and more precise than earlier Allen & Heath models, offering a smoother user experience.
Yes, the USB-C interface is designed for that purpose, leveraging the XCVI core's processing power to minimize latency, but a powerful computer is still recommended.
