Audiogram 3 USB Interface
The Audiogram Series has been carefully designed to make setting up your
computer-based recording environment an absolute breeze. Audiogram 3 is a
complete recording solution offering a hardware interface that adds audio inputs
and outputs to your computer, software for recording and producing music, and a
USB cable for connecting the audio interface. As such, either package will
instantly turn your computer into a powerful yet intuitive tool for recording
and editing audio from virtually any microphone or audio input device. What's
more, setup is as easy as installing the bundled music-production application,
CUBASE AI, on your computer and connecting the audio interface using the USB
cable provided! You're then ready to connect instruments, microphones, CD
players, MP3 players, and even old record or tape players for recording straight
into Cubase AI.
With a focus on simplicity and ease-of-use, the Audiogram 3 delivers a
compact audio interface complete with both a mono and stereo input channel.
Providing maximum flexibility for recording from almost any audio source, the
mono input channel features a combo-type connector that can be set for
microphone or line level input, while the stereo channel has both 1/4" and RCA
connectors. Of course, as this interface is USB bus-powered, it needs no
external power supply and is an ideal solution for mobile applications.
Also supporting microphone-level input, the Audiogram 3 mono channel features
a microphone preamp offering excellent audio quality. And should you want to
connect a condenser microphone for higher-quality recordings, this channel can
even be phantom powered. Regardless of what type of microphone you choose,
however, the professionalmixer technologies integrated into this preamp will
deliver perfect recordings every time.
With one touch of the MIC/INST select button, you can set the sensitivity of
the Audiogram 3 mono channel for direct connection of either microphones or
instruments. When set to instrument-level sensitivity, for example, you can
directly record electric guitars, basses, and many other input devices. And all
audio recorded using either of the MIC/INST settings can then be processed to
give professional-sounding results using Cubase AI's built-in effects.
With the Audiogram 3, you also get a stereo input channel with both 1/4" and
RCA connectors that can be used to conveniently connect not only synthesizers,
portable keyboards, and electronic pianos, but also a diversity of other sound
sources such as CD players, MD players, portable audio players, and even old
record and tape players. Providing maximum flexibility for many different
recording situations, the Audiogram 3 even supports simultaneous recording of
the instrument or vocal on the mono channel with the audio being input via the
stereo channel. For example, you could easily use this feature to record
yourself playing along to a CD or MD backing track or singing to a karaoke track
created on a portable keyboard.
