amp or the core elements of a drum kit. The (2) ¼” dedicated Instrument inputs
use specially designed gain and impedance staging to provide the cleanest signal
from your guitar, bass or keyboard, while the (2) ¼” dedicated Line inputs
provide a pure uncolored signal for connecting a tube preamp, keyboard, synth or
mixer, and MIDI input and output for connecting any of your boutique synth gear.
Mix, Monitor, And Provide
At the center of the M-Track 8X4M is a large metal monitor volume knob with
inlayed rubberized diamond textured comfort grip for dialing in your studio
monitor’s volume, and smoothly referencing your mix at both high and low levels.
The monitor and headphone outputs feature a direct mono/stereo switch and
direct/USB mix knob. The (2) ¼” headphone outputs have independent volume

All about Your RCM03:
Description:
The Rockville RCM03 condenser microphone performs better than famous branded microphones that cost over $150. This model is similar to our RCM01 however it is made of aluminum, and the frame is slightly larger. We also upgraded this model to a high end metal anti-wind cap! We highly recommend this design. This model is an amazing upgrade to our top selling RCM01 model!
Multi-Purpose
Designed for crystal clear capturing of vocals, acoustic and amplified instruments, as well as room reverb. The frequency pick up pattern makes the RCM03 amazing in studio applications.
The aluminum construction makes the RCM03 tough enough for Live sound applications as well!
Multiple connection options!
This microphone can be used in multiple ways. You can connect this to the phantom power of your mixer or you can connect it directly to your computer sound card. We include both cables! We include a cable to connect it to your mixer as well as a cable to connect the mic to your computer!
Quality built inside and out!
The microphone is made of aluminum. It is very rugged and tough like you would expect from any Rockville product. This microphone has a large diaphragm which is what enables our mic to deliver a wider range of high and low frequencies than our competitors. Our frequency range is tested at 30HZ - 20KHZ! The mic sounds crystal clear sound with no distortion!
The PCB (circuit board) uses surface mounted components which is the same method the expensive brands use. We use only top components that under-go extreme testing by our own audio engineers.
The last thing that I need to mention and call out is that our product is very sturdy. Let me explain. When you are recording, you do not want even the slightest noises coming from your mic. The microphone consists of a casing and there is a cartridge inside the case. You do not want that cartridge moving around. We made sure to adjust our mechanism and ensure the cartridge is firmly in place and not creating any unwanted noises.
