With its single Ultra-HDDA mic preamp and 1/4" line/Hi-Z input, the US-1x2HR allows you to track or overdub two different sources at the same time. Phantom power is onboard for condenser mics and LED signal/peak indicators are provided to help you properly set levels. Use the rear-panel RCA inputs to record an unbalanced line-level signal from a DJ mixer, media player, or mixing console. The stereo RCA line outs and 1/4" headphone output enable monitoring through speakers, headphones, or both, each with its own level control. Additional feature enhancements include virtual loopback for podcasting and livestreaming, zero-latency direct monitoring, and an empowering software bundle.

Ultra-HDDA Mic Preamp
Ultra-HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) mic preamp design developed in-house and combined with a newly improved audio circuit for enhanced audio performance and transparency
Low noise level with EIN rating of -128 dBu and signal-to-noise ratio of 109 dB
Microphone preamp with phantom power and gain range of 58 dB supports dynamic, condenser, and ribbon microphones
Front-Panel Mic and Line/Instrument Inputs
Microphone input features a balanced XLR connector and switchable +48V phantom power for condenser microphones
1/4" TRS input for balanced line-level signals from professional processors and synthesizers
1/4" input can be switched to high impedance for direct recording of electric guitar and bass

USB Type-C 2.0 computer connection (includes USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable) supplies appropriate bandwidth, even for multichannel 192 kHz recordings
Works with ASIO, WDM, or Core Audio drivers
USB bus-powered for mobile recording with computer
Connects with iPad, iPhone, and other iOS devices (requires separately available 5 VDC power adapter or battery pack; Apple Camera Connection Kit required for use with Lightning-equipped devices)
Zero-Latency Monitoring
Direct monitoring path provides zero-latency monitoring of the input signal before it is sent to the computer
Simple direct monitor on/off switch on the rear panel
Adjustable monitor mix blend between input and computer via the software settings panel
Monitoring Options
Unbalanced stereo RCA output suitable for connection to powered monitors
Standard 1/4" TRS headphone output jack
Separate controls for line and headphone output volumes
Input monitoring can be set to stereo or mono via the software settings panel
Sleek Industrial Design
Solid and practical design intended to withstand long hours of hard use
Robust metal jacket improves durability and combines with diecast aluminum side panels to provide a sleek, eye-catching design
Angled design is optimized for desktop viewing and operation
LED indicators for phantom power, USB connection, signal presence, and peak
Loopback for Podcasting and Livestreaming
Loopback function allows the audio from the computer to be returned to the streaming software for playback during livestreams
Selectable mono/stereo audio mode via software settings panel
Supports OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) for easy recording and streaming
Enhanced Audio Engine
Increased stability in native driver
Audio buffer size can be as low as 4 samples (Windows only) to give the best performance
