Connect Anything You Want

With 8 inputs, and the capability of recording up to 8 channels simultaneously, the M-Audio AIR 192 | 14 is sure to meet all of your studio recording needs.

Four of the inputs are dedicated XLR/TRS Mic/Line combo sockets, each with Crystal Pre-amps and phantom power, making them suitable for vocals, acoustic guitars, or even micing up the core elements of a drum kit and a bass amp!

In addition to this, there’s two 1/4″ dedicated instrument inputs, which use specially designed gain and impedance staging to ensure the cleanest possible signal.

And finally there’s a pair of 1/4″ dedicated Line inputs, for a pure uncoloured signal from your tube amp, keyboard, synth, or mixer, alongside MIDI I/O for any boutique synth gear you may want to record.

High Quality Construction

To ensure the very best sound from your microphone, the AIR 192 | 14 features M-Audio’s exclusive Crystal Preamps.

These preamps are designed to be transparent and low-noise, making sure your recordings are exactly as you want to hear them.

In addition to this, there’s a set of pristine A/D converters, which offer 24-bit resolution digital audio, with an incredible dynamic range that translates every nuance and subtlety of your performance.

Not only that, but this combines with class-leading sample rate of up to 192kHz, ensuring you get the very best sound possible.

Mix And Monitor

Sitting (quite noticeably) in the centre of the AIR 192 | 4 is a large metal monitor volume knob, with a comfortable textured grip, that allows you to smoothly dial in the output of your monitors.

Both the monitor and headphone outputs are equipped with a direct mono/stereo switch, along with a direct/USB mix knob, and the headphone sockets also feature independent volume controls, alongside a source select switch, allowing you to mix according to your needs.

Dial In Your Best Signal

Thanks to the inclusion of the AIR 192 | 14’s segmented input VU LED’s, you can easily attain the best levels possible for your mix. These LED’s cover from -20db through to 0dB, taking the guesswork away from optimising your signal for the perfect recording.

Ultra-Low Latency

As an audio-producer, there are few things more irritating than unwanted clicks, pops, and latency on your recordings.

Thankfully though, the AIR 192 | 14 comes equipped with a high-speed USB connection that offers an incredibly-low round trip latency (just 2.59ms) between your machine and hardware.

In addition to this, it also comes equipped with a monitor mix control, which allows you to listen directly to the source inputs – in other words, it gives you zero latency technology.

Includes Premium Software Suite

A good audio interface will always need a good software package for you to make full use of it – and the AIR 192 | 4 comes complete with a cracker.

Within this software package you’ll find a free copy of industry-leading DAW, Ableton Live Lite.

In addition to this, there’s also a package packed full of Effects Plugins, Virtual Instruments, and loops – enough to cater to all of your production needs.
