USB AUDIO interface is a digital audio interface. By USB cable, you can digitally transfer intact audio signals of PC to this instrument, and enjoy it on this instrument or use it for accompanywhen you play this instrument; likewise, you can transfer intact audio signals of the instrument to PC to record and edit music.
