Manufacturer's Description for Aardvark Direct Mix USB3 Audio Interface with Cubase LE (Macintosh and Windows)

The USB3 is an easy to use USB audio interface with everything you need to record, playback, and monitor pro-quality audio from any Mac, PC or laptop. With 24-bit A/D converters, stereo 1/4 in.

The USB3 enables recording from any analog source directly to the computer without the need of an outboard mixer or preamp. It features a high quality 1/4 in. mic preamp, which doubles as a Hi-Z guitar input. The Hi-Z input's Enhanced Frequency Response (E.F.R.) circuitry is specifically tailored to add maximum clarity and "punch" to direct recording of low-impedance instruments such as electric guitar and bass.

The USB3's front panel features a convenient 1/4 in. headphone jack with slider level control, making real-time monitoring refreshingly easy. A clever mixing control surface allows for precise adjustments of all input and output audio levels. The input clip LEDs and output metering provide an additional source of accuracy in addition to giving the USB3 an eye-catching presence.

Along with the self-powered USB connection to the computer, the back panel has professional 1/4 in. stereo line inputs and outputs that work simultaneously with the mic and guitar input. The Record Select switch allows separate monitoring and recording busses similar to working with an outboard mixer and sound card. This allows for up to 5 channels of low-latency monitoring for recording, mixing, and playing back multiple tracks from any audio software.

The 24-bit A/D converters in the USB3 are completely shielded to get professional, studio quality audio out of any computer. As a self-powered, professional audio mixer and interface, the portable USB3 can make professional recordings on any laptop or any computer, anywhere in the world. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Aardvark products.

Read 1 Aardvark Direct Mix USB3 Audio Interface with Cubase LE (Macintosh and Windows) Review

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Easy to use, sounds great.."

Sound: I was pleasantly surprised to hear the quality of the sound of my acoustic guitar when recorded through this product --- the aardvark's guitar preamp produced a warm, rich acoustic sound. Feature: No frills features. Would have liked an XLR input. Quality: It's made of metal ... need I say more? Value: Good value. A neat little box for the money. The Wow Factor: This question is a little weird :-). I like the product, but sex appeal?? Overall: I think for the time being this product will serve nicely in conjuction with my laptop recording. It's portable, made well, and sounds great.
