The super professional USB stereo interface with MIC
UAX220-MIC
Don’t get fooled by its apparently complex name: the UAX220-Mic is a professional stereo USB Audio interface designed for the most demanding broadcasting applications that require high-quality audio acquisition of microphone level signals. We made it USB audio compliant to be swiftly used with any kind of computer and third-party software applications without the burden of installing a dedicated driver. Complex name, yet simply and highly efficient.
UAX220-Mic offers 2/2 balanced analog high-quality I/Os. We have added professional-grade mic preamps and switchable +48V phantom power on each input to make UAX220-Mic the most efficient Pro Audio interface for portable use. Its compact and sleek design has all of Digigram’s leading edge experience in audio performance plus the ridiculously simple standard USB Audio to broadcast within a blink.
