This allows for effects-enabled zero-latency monitoring that works in every DAW. Notably for guitarists, it comes with digital signal processing powered by Yamaha’s custom-designed SSP3 DSP chip. Both of the inputs are XLR/Jack combos, while input 2 has the option to accept instrument-level input. Steinberg‘s UR22C is a dual-preamp USB C interface. But, if you do want to go down that route, the Jam+ can connect to any Windows, Mac, or iOS device for use with any DAW.ĭue to its minuscule size, this is a great interface if you either want to save on desk space, or jot down riff ideas on the go. The latter will give you an off-the-bat overdrive sound, without the need to rig up any virtual amps in your DAW. Notably, it offers two input modes: Clean and Drive. It features a single quarter-inch instrument input, a single gain knob, a USB connector and a stereo eighth-inch jack for easy monitoring with headphones or speakers. Like the iRig, Apogee‘s Jam+ boils an audio interface down to the essentials needed by guitar players.
While not as portable as a dongle interface, it’s still quite minute – and with sturdy construction and simple I/O, using the ID4 on the go shouldn’t be an issue. The microphone input runs into a Class-A Audient console mic preamp, and has switchable +48v of phantom power if you want to use a condenser microphone on your cabinet.īecause of the JFET-powered instrument input, running directly into a DAW should be a breeze, with lots of headroom and dynamic response. The latter is designed for guitarists, as it runs into a JFET preamp – mimicking the behaviour and impedance of a guitar amplifier.
This console-style interface from Audient comes with a combination XLR/jack input, as well as a separate quarter-inch instrument input.
