Crystal™ Preamps, Pristine A/D Converters and Premium Components
The M-Audio AIR 192|14 features Crystal Preamps that are designed to provide a transparent and low-noise preamp for recording microphones, as well as A/D converters that provide 24-bit resolution digital audio. The result is a high-quality recording with exceptional dynamic range, capturing every nuance and subtlety of your performance.
The Crystal Preamps are engineered to be as transparent as possible, meaning that they add as little coloration or distortion to the sound as possible. This is important because it allows the true character of the microphone to shine through, resulting in a more accurate and natural-sounding recording.
In addition, the 24-bit resolution of the A/D converters provides a wider dynamic range than lower-resolution converters, allowing for greater detail and clarity in your recordings. This is especially important for capturing the subtle nuances of a performance, such as the attack and decay of a guitar string or the tonal variations in a vocal performance.
Overall, the combination of Crystal Preamps and high-quality A/D converters in the M-Audio AIR 192|14 results in a recording that accurately captures the performance with exceptional clarity and detail.
