Frequently Asked Questions
Audient's driver optimization consistently delivers low latency performance, often on par with or slightly better than competitors like Focusrite, especially when using ASIO.
Yes, the JFET input handles active bass signals very well, providing a clean and articulate tone with minimal noise – it’s designed for that purpose.
While possible with an adapter, USB-C provides the best performance and stability; using a USB-A adapter might introduce some latency or power delivery issues.
