The
AUDIOGRAM Series has been carefully designed to make setting up your
computer-based recording environment an absolute breeze. Coming as a
complete kit, the AUDIOGRAM6 bundles together a hardware interface that
adds audio inputs and outputs to your computer, software for recording
and producing music, and a USB cable for connecting the audio interface.
Set the input and output levels and you are ready to go!
With the AUDIOGRAM6, you get a powerful mixer-type audio interface with two
mono input channels and two stereo input channels. Each of the two mono channels
features combo-type connectors for direct connection of a wide range of sound
input devices. And because you can change the input sensitivity of each channel
for direct connection of electric guitars and basses with a push of the MIC/INST
select buttons, there's no need to study up on impedance and other specialist
recording topics.
Audio interface with Mixer functionality
Even if you're a newcomer to the world of audio recording, setting up your
own computerbased studio couldn't be easier with the AUDIOGRAM6. The audio
interface has been designed with ease-of-use as a prime requirement, and
you only need to set the input sensitivity and output volume before you can
start recording. Using the GAIN knobs, simply adjust the sensitivity of the
input channel to a level at which its PEAK lamp does not come on. In the
same way, you set the master output volume using the MASTER knob, making
sure that the left and right PEAK lamps do not light.
Mic preamps for high quality recording
The AUDIOGRAM6 comes complete with high-quality microphone preamps on its two
mono input channels, one of which can even supply 48-V phantom power to accommodate
condenser microphones. Using this type of microphone, you can record narration
and spoken word for podcasts, make studio-quality recordings of acoustic
guitars, and much more.
Setting compression has never been easier!
Unlike normal compressors, which can be very difficult to adjust, the 1-knob
compressors on the AUDIOGRAM6 are super simple. As the name suggests, you
can adjust compression for smoother and more balanced recordings using just
a single knob. Particularly when recording acoustic guitar, electric bass,
and vocals, this intuitive feature will make your recordings much more stable
and professional sounding.
One touch switching between mono and stereo inputs
Using the PAN button, you can instantly turn the two mono input channels on
your AUDIOGRAM6 into a fully-panned stereo channel and vice versa. For example,
you can use this Stereo Coupling function when recording live performances,
outdoor audio material, and many other stereo sources with a pair of dynamic
microphones. In fact, Stereo Coupling also allows your interface to function
beautifully as a simple mixer with three stereo input channels!
Easy balancing of audio unputs and playback
Using the AUDIOGRAM6 interface's Monitor Mix function, you can conveniently
balance the volume of audio input from external sources and the volume of
audio recorded on the USB-connected computer. Because the volume of audio
playback from the computer can be adjusted using the DAW knob while the overall
volume for the headphones or stereo output can be set using the MASTER knob,
it is easy to achieve the perfect balance between external audio devices
and tracks already recorded.
USB Bus-powered interface
Powered via USB, the AUDIOGRAM6 requires no external power supply. As long
as your computer is powered up and connected via the bundled USB cable, the
interface will be fully functional, making it ideal for mobile situations
or when few power sockets are available.
