Frequently Asked Questions
Ultranet prioritizes low latency and reliability crucial for live performance, minimizing dropouts that can plague standard Ethernet networks in crowded wireless environments.
While functional, the faders are best suited for recall and basic level adjustments; experienced engineers might find them less tactile for nuanced live mixing compared to higher-end motorized options.
No, the USB interface has limitations – it’s primarily intended for stereo output and control, not full multi-track recording simultaneously.
