Mobile Pre USB USB Bus-Powered Preamp And Audio Interface description:
The M-Audio MOBILE PRE USB USB Bus-Powered Preamp And Audio Interface. Affordable, USB bus-powered preamp and audio interface for mobile laptop recording on the Mac and PC.
The M-Audio MOBILE PRE USB is a bus-powered USB interface with built-in two-channel mic/instrument preamps. Deriving power from the USB bus eliminates the need for an external power supply, making the product ideal for field recording and other laptop-based mobile recording situations. Inputs include two XLR balanced microphone connectors with switchable +48V phantom power for professional microphones, 1/8 inch mini stereo microphone jacks for desktop mics, and two 1/4 inch jack TRS balanced instrument/line inputs. The latter are high impedance for optimization of input signals such as guitars and basses. Each input channel also features a gain control knob (+40dB maximum), phantom power indicator, and a signal presence/clipping indicator. MobilePre USB output complement includes two 1/4 inch jack unbalanced outputs, an 1/8 inch jack mini stereo line output, and 1/8 inch mini stereo headphone output with level knob. MobilePre USB connects directly with a computer via a simple USB cable. The unit supports 16-bit audio input and output at sampling rates of 8k, 96k, 11.25k, 12k, 16k, 22.5k, 24k, 32k, 44.1k, and 48k. USB MobilePre also offers zero-latency direct hardware monitoring with software control of levels. Combined with its extremely compact size, MobilePre USB is ideal for mobile studios based on laptop computers. The unit ships with M-Audio's drivers for Windows and Mac OS computers, including OS X. The package also includes M-Audio's Maximum Audio Tools bundle including an assortment of software designed to get users making music immediately.
