Metric Halo 2882 3d (w/ 8 Preamp +DSP Included) 3d Software-Controlled USB Type-C Audio Interface with 8 Preamps & DSP
The The Metric Halo 2882 3d (w/ 8 Preamp +DSP Included) is a USB Type-C audio interface designed to offer digital I/O, eight preamps, DSP-powered mixing, and software control for producers, musicians, and engineers in studios and mobile setups. The Metric Halo 2882 3d's integrated dual-core DSP is designed to power a variety of plug-ins - the included DSP+ license is unlocking over 100 of them - that brings no burdens to the user's computer's CPU. Robust software is intended for ensuring an easy access to multitrack monitoring, mixing, recording, and more.
The Metric Halo 2882 3d's eight microphone preamps are fed using the four XLR mic inputs and four 1/4" instrument/line inputs. All eight preamps come featuring phantom power, switchable impedance, and -20 dB pads accessible on a per-channel basis with the use of the MH Console software. Analog outputs include eight 1/4" line outs and a 1/4" headphone jack, which is affected by the front-panel mute and dim functions. Properly synchronize with other digital equipment through the BNC word clock connectors, or consolidate audio, clock, and data I/O with other 3d-equipped Metric Halo interfaces using the MH Link ports.
The pre-installed MH EdgeCard is providing stereo AES3 and S/PDIF I/O in addition to the 2882 3d's standard eight-channel ADAT optical ports. The interface's front panel is packed with comprehensive metering and status indicators, that are showing vital information at a glance. The Metric Halo 2882 3d is possible to connect to a compatible Mac, Windows, iOS, or Linux device with the use of the supplied USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable.
