Product details

The DSP-based Class-D studio monitors feature an extremely flat low-frequency response, a newly designed silk dome tweeter, and woofers made from sustainable, robust paper fibers. These components deliver unparalleled pressure in the low-mid range and achieve unmatched sound quality in their class. The USB-C audio interface offers four input and output channels and impresses with two high-quality Class-A microphone preamps for professional recordings. Additionally, there are two Hi-Z instrument inputs for direct connection of guitar or bass. Four balanced line inputs and outputs allow for flexible connections to external equipment. Two independent headphone outputs with their own volume controls provide individual monitoring options. Thanks to virtual channels and a loopback function, the interface is ideal for streaming and recording. It is compatible with both macOS and Windows 10/11 and supports ASIO 2.0, MME, WDM, and DirectSound for extremely low latency. A comprehensive software package is also included.
