Description
Phonic's all-new Gold Editions of the classic AM series of mixers offer more ways to record your audio than ever before. We begin with a stereo USB interface for sending audio to and from any modern PC or Mac computer. This allows recording of digital audio in quality far superior to the average compact disc (24-bit, 48 KHz), plus a user-assignable 'loopback' return signal for monitoring or music playback. A superior onboard module is also included, offering both TF recording and playback in addition to Bluetooth connectivity. The TF portion allows stereo recordings to be made in uncompressed WAV (up to 1536Kbps) or MP3 format (up to 192KHz), providing phenomenal recording quality previously unavailable without additional, external equipment. Integrated stereo recording at its finest!
The AM Gold Editions still provide many of the analog standards. Ultra low-noise pre-amps ensure high quality sound when used in project studios or in sound reinforcement. Neutrik-brand combo input connectors are utilized for unparalleled audio while our advanced analog circuitry ensures your audio is handled with the utmost of care. The multi-band EQ on mono channels gives you total control over your audio. The AM Gold Editions also makes monitoring the mix easy with its dual multi-segment LED level meters, EFX to monitor control and high volume headphone outputs.
