The Perfect Recording System for Mobile Music Productions
The PHASE 26 USB is the first external studio interface to feature TerraTecs tried-and-true audio technology in 24-bit, 96-kHz resolution. This makes it the perfect mobile recording solution for all Windows notebooks or Apple PowerBooks furnished with USB ports. Featuring two analog inputs and six outputs, a MIDI interface, a microphone input, and an amplified headphones output, the PHASE 26 USB is a remarkably versatile audio system for musicians and producers. And with the popular and proven TerraTec Phono Preamp which is designed to accept turntables with no further amplification required it is also the first choice for DJs. Be it music productions, recording sessions, 5.1 Surround productions, digital mastering, or DJing, the PHASE 26 USB offers peak performance and maximum mobility for all audio applications. An optical and a coaxial digital S/PDIF port, high-quality converters with resolutions ranging up to 24 bits/96 kHz, and a dynamic range exceeding 106 dB ensure professional audio quality for mobile laptops and fixed desktop studios. The PHASE 26 USB can be operated with or without power unit. It can also be switched on and off on the fly while the system is running. The computer detects the USB automatically, and its advanced software runs smoothly and flawlessly. Latency is extremely low, courtesy of generic drivers for Windows XP and Mac OS X. And that makes PHASE 26 USB an excellent choice for systems with real-time-enabled software synthesizers.
