Introduction
2-in/2-out Thunderbolt™ audio converter
The audio converter uses Thunderbolt™, the latest generation of high-speed interface
technology. With this, we have realized a system with low latency that was not possible using USB 2.0.
Since it also supports recording and playback at up to 24-bit/192kHz, it can also be used for the playback
of high-resolution sound sources delivered with superior audio quality over the Internet.
Attention to audio performance
The entire system reproduces the original audio faithfully. An asynchronous transfer system
that is not impacted by computer jitter is used along with the latest AD/DA converter, which
supports 192kHz.
Built-in high-performance mic preamps
The high-performance mic preamps are based on those developed for our H Series. Each
input also supports Hi-Z connections. The gain can be raised by up to 60 dB, and +48V
phantom power can be supplied.
dedicated mixer application
Use this application to make internal mixer and monitoring effect settings. For details about
, see the ZOOM website (http://www.zoom.co.jp/downloads/).
