in one solution that’s easy to set up and easy to
use. The ProCast SST is the perfect solution. The

ideas with a seamless workflow allowing them to
focus on the creative process. Use the internal
microphone to record voice and the Channel 2 Inst/

an onboard pick-up.

the internal microphone along with the
Channel 2 Inst/Line input to simultaneously
record two sources. The ProCast SST’s zero

computer playback for mixes that will impress
the most sophisticated users.

Use the ProCast SST’s Mic 2 input to
connect a second microphone for interviews.
It is also possible to use condenser
microphones thanks to the onboard 48V
phantom power. There is even a second

comfortable monitor level.
