Each channel offers an XLR input for use with microphones or other Lo-Z sources, plus a balanced 1/4" input. The phantom power switch delivers 48V to the XLR inputs for use with condenser microphones. The 1/4" line input can be switched to allow an electric guitar or bass to be plugged directly into the M-Track Plus. In addition, S/PDIF (coax) in and out jacks provided direct access to digital studio equipment. Each channel is equipped with an insert jack for adding studio—grade effects as you record—a professional addition not often found in this class of interface. Improved Monitoring for Better s ----------------------------------------- M-Track Plus offers ultra-low latency monitoring of the input signal. The monitor mix knob adjusts the balance between the direct inputs and the playback from your computer software. This makes it easy to record new parts or add layers to an existing composition. The Headphone output offers its own level control. In addition to the two audio channels, M-Track Plus also supports 16 channels of MIDI data and timing information. The MIDI In and MIDI Out jack are compatible with all MIDI equipment. Multi-color LED metering provides instant visual feedback of the main output levels, as well as the status of various M-Track Plus settings. Software Synergy ---------------- Your M-Track Plus interface comes complete with both Avid Pro Tools Express (Get it through our website) and Ignite by AIR (Digital download).
