DISC Roland UA-55 Quad-Capture Audio Interface

Full Description

The Quad-Capture audio interface boasts two premium-grade, digitally controlled mic preamps (VS Preamps) made from the same high-grade components as the preamps found in Roland's V-Studio 700 and M-400 digital mixer. Two XLR / TRS combo inputs are provided for the preamps, plus independent phantom power, low-cut filter, phase invert and digital compression for each channel. The VS preamps can be controlled easily and intuitively with the included graphical Control Panel software for Mac or PC.

Never before has it been faster or easier to set perfect input levels - simply activate the AUTO-SENS feature with the push of a button, play your connected instruments, and Quad-Capture automatically sets the ideal recording level for each input. Whether you're a beginner or a professional, AUTO-SENS is great for quick, fail-safe recordings, saving you setup time and letting you focus on where it starts... the performance.

Quad-Capture offers incredible stability and industry-leading low-latency USB performance via Roland's proprietary VS Streaming technology. All current Mac and PC DAW platforms are supported through ASIO 2.0 / WDM (Windows) and Core Audio (Mac).

One of Quad-Capture's key 'behind-the-scenes' features is its low-noise, wide-ranging power supply. Designed to deliver a clean, balanced input and output, it provides a reliable foundation for any professional audio application or environment. When driven by the USB bus power supply, Quad-Capture's power is regenerated, providing the analogue circuitry ideal voltage for the very best sound quality and efficiency in mobile environments.

Quad-Capture is small, strong and housed in a road-tough aluminium body, so you can transport it anywhere with the confidence that its premium internal components are securely protected. For live-concert environments, Quad-Capture also provides Direct-Box (DI) functionality, essential for noise-free live stage use.
