Compatible with both Mac and Windows systems, this compact and portable interface includes two XLR/TRS inputs suitable for microphones, line signals, and Hi-Z instruments, in addition to a second pair of TRS line inputs. The rear panel is equipped with four TRS outputs, enabling the connection of two sets of stereo monitors, complemented by a convenient Alt Speaker switch in the Monitor section. The front panel is designed with two independent headphone jacks, allowing performers to access custom mixes from compatible DAWs. With studio-grade AD/DA conversion, the device boasts a dynamic range of 129 dB and supports resolutions of up to 24-bit / 192 kHz. Furthermore, it features a pair of ADAT ports that provide up to eight additional channels of digital I/O, establishing the 32Ci as a versatile centerpiece for any studio, enhanced by a thoughtfully arranged top panel of buttons and knobs that facilitate intuitive control over recording and mixing tasks. 32Ci Preamp The Harrison 32C preamps are celebrated for their inviting and clear sound, making them a valuable asset in the realm of recording. They provide remarkable clarity, ensuring a clean and detailed signal with minimal background noise, which is suitable for a diverse range of recording applications. Featuring high-quality transformers, these preamps enrich your recordings with a vibrant, musical quality, enhancing the depth and warmth of each track. The 32C preamps are designed with an extensive frequency response, adeptly capturing subtle details and dynamic range with exceptional accuracy. With a gain of 70 dB, they manage high input levels without introducing distortion, rendering them an excellent option for recording powerful instruments such as drums and electric guitars. The 32Ci model includes individually selectable phantom power for each channel, along with a -20 dB pad that can be activated for recording louder sound sources. 32Ci Filter The 32 Series consoles have transformed the audio industry through their groundbreaking high-pass and low-pass filters, specifically engineered to eliminate undesirable rumble and hiss from audio sources. Featuring dual log potentiometers, these distinctive filters provide an exceptionally broad sweep range, enabling effective overlap and the complete removal of the passband. Esteemed mixing engineers, such as the renowned Bruce Swedien, have utilized this functionality to enhance their mixes, allowing for the seamless integration of multiple instruments without any interference. Explore the Bump button, carefully designed to replicate the subtle resonance of the original filter. This feature delivers an enhanced low-end punch, positioned just above the cutoff frequency of the filter. Employ this function judiciously to maintain vocal clarity while skillfully filtering out any extraneous rumble that may have been captured by the microphone. iCON I/O Pro Software iCON I/O Pro serves as a virtual mixer and plug-in host specifically designed for iCON Pro Audio interfaces, acting as a comprehensive audio control center for your computer.
