Frequently Asked Questions
The cable is reasonably robust, but its fixed nature means careful handling is needed to avoid strain on the connector.
It’s fully compatible with Windows PCs, just as it is with Macs and iPads (with the necessary adapter).
While the FPT technology minimizes latency, higher-end interfaces often offer even lower latency and more advanced driver options.
