M-Audio M-Track Eight Overview
Add a professional edge to your studio
M-Audio M-Track Eight Add a professional edge to your studio with the M-Track Eight from M-Audio. This eight-input USB 2.0 audio interface enables you to track large music ensembles, record the band, or mic an entire drum set with pro-grade audio components and a myriad of connections. Eight combo XLR+1/4″ inputs accommodate nearly any source, from phantom-powered microphones to your favorite guitar, and eight dedicated outputs offer versatile playback options. The XLR inputs are designed to work with microphones and other Lo-Z sources, and the phantom power switch enables you to use condenser microphones by delivering 48v phantom power to the XLR inputs (Channels 1-4; 5-8).
Pro-Grade Audio
M-Audio M-Track Eight features pristine and precise audio recording with up to 24-bit/96 kHz resolution.
