M-Audio M-Track QUAD

The M-Audio M-Track QUAD is a four-channel audio and MIDI-Interface that uses a single USB cable to create a two-way audio and MIDI connection with your computer.
The flagship of the M-Track series is equipped with four inputs that provide the best results with any type of audio source. Each offers an XLR input and a balanced 1/4" input. The XLR input is designed to work with microphones or other Lo-Z sources. The phantom power switch delivers 48V to the XLR inputs for use with professional condenser microphones. The 1/4" input can be set to receive a line level signal, or switched to allow an electric guitar or bass to be plugged directly into the M-Track QUAD. Individual gain knobs ensure the proper input level.

Each input channel is also equipped with an insert jack, which allows studio-grade effects to be used with any input source as you record. M-Track QUAD offers ultra-low latency monitoring of the input signal. The monitor mix knob adjusts the balance between the direct inputs and the playback from your computer software. In addition the input signal(s) can be monitored in stereo or mono using the convenient Stereo/Mono switch. This makes it easy to record new parts or add parts to an existing composition. The Headphone output offers its own level control.
This audio / MIDI Interface also serves as a powered USB Hub. Connect your USB controller keyboard, pad controller and other USB devices directly to your M-Track QUAD for a convenient, single cable computer connection.

M-Track QUAD comes complete with both Avid Pro Tools Express (with iLok 2 USB key) and Ignite from AIR Music Technology. These two programs can work alone or together to help you realize your musical dreams. Capture and arrange your ideas using Ignite, then use those tracks as the foundation for your professional production with Pro Tools Express.
