Audio Interface M-Audio AIR 192|14

The M-Audio AIR 192|14 audio interface is a versatile studio hub featuring an 8-in/4-out configuration. It is designed to create professional recordings with 24-bit/192kHz resolution. The device is equipped with a high-speed USB (Type-C) interface to ensure minimal signal latency (2.59ms), allowing for real-time monitoring without artifacts. A rugged metal chassis with a large central volume knob provides ergonomics and reliability for intensive studio workflows.

The input channel architecture is designed for maximum flexibility: four combo XLR+1/4" TRS inputs feature proprietary Crystal™ preamps and phantom power, guaranteeing transparent microphone sound. Additionally, the interface includes two instrument inputs (Hi-Z) with matched impedance for direct connection of guitars and basses, as well as two line inputs for synthesizers or drum machines. The presence of MIDI inputs and outputs (via 1/8” TRS adapters) allows for the integration of external MIDI gear into your digital environment.

Special attention has been paid to the monitoring system. The AIR 192|14 offers two independent headphone outputs with separate level controls and source selection, enabling the creation of separate mixes for the engineer and the artist. Segmented LED VU meters on the front panel provide precise visual control of input signal levels, helping to avoid clipping. Pristine analog-to-digital converters with a wide dynamic range capture the slightest nuances of performance.

The package includes a comprehensive suite of licensed software covering all stages of music production. Users get access to DAWs (Ableton Live Lite, MPC Beats), a set of virtual instruments from AIR Music Tech (including drums, synths, pianos, and organs), as well as a large collection of effects and plugins for sound processing, including ReValver guitar emulation.
