Description:
The R-Track 2x2 is a full function USB recording interface equipped with 2 high quality mic preamps, MIDI capabilities and ultra-low latency performance.

This unit has all the features you need to quickly capture high-resolution audio, along with some bonus features. The R-Track 2x2 records 24 bit / 192Khz ultra-high resolution audio. This interface has an ASIO-licensed driver which means you get the best performance and flawless compatibility with your favorite DAW (the interface will be recognized in any recording software that you use).

Channel 1 and channel 2 will be addressed as separate independent tracks by your DAW, allowing you to edit each channel independently or sum it together. Both channels have 48V phantom power with 25db PAD attenuation allowing you to easily integrate condenser microphones in your setup. The Hi/Lo-Z impedance selector allows you to connect instruments such as guitars and bass to the interface without the use of an additional DI box.

The MIDI input and output make it easy to connect keyboards and other MIDI devices. We also include a mono/stereo switch which is a great feature that allows you to monitor your mix in mono or stereo, which is critical when mixing. You don't need any additional plugins or complex routing configurations to see how your mixes translate in mono : simply activate the switch and hear the results immediately.

Each input channel has combo jacks that can accept microphones (condenser or dynamic), instruments, and almost any other audio device you can think of.

The build quality of this interface is really great. It's made out of aluminum with steel reinforcements on the sides. The knobs are sturdy and linear, with a great feel. You will fall in love with the build quality when you pick this up. More importantly, you will fall in love with the sound quality and features when you record your first track with the R-Track.
