- • Discrete preamps deliver exceptionally clean gain with a subtle, musical character.
- • Synergy Core DSP unlocks powerful, low-latency effects processing directly on the interface.
- • Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) significantly reduces jitter and improves timing accuracy.
- • Flexible I/O options (Thunderbolt, USB, ADAT, S/PDIF) provide versatile connectivity.
- • USB 2.0 connectivity limits bandwidth; Thunderbolt is strongly recommended for full functionality.
- • The unit’s size and weight (3.1kg) make it less ideal for portable setups.
- • The included USB cable feels a bit flimsy given the premium price point.
