Product Description

Even when you are on the move or have very little free space you still need a high quality audio interface with fast response and great preamps. This small M-Track 2 Channel interface is designed to fit into these situations perfectly with its small footprint and the fact that it is USB powered means you can easily take it anywhere for the best quality audio.

The Ins and Outs

Having the right amount of connections is vital to making sure you have the right interface. A lot of these smaller USB interfaces have just a single XLR and while that is great for some others will need more. That is why M-Audio have fitted this out with two XLR/Jack combi ports for your inputs with phantom power and direct monitoring. This means you can connect up everything you would need to record most instruments outside of an orchestra or drum kit. Output wise you have a pair of 1/4" jacks for you main monitor output as well as a single stereo 1/4" jack output for your headphones of choice.

Studio Quality

Even with the amount of ins and outs that M-Audio have pushed into this interface they still haven't backed off on quality. With 24bit-96kHz recording at low latency this interface is perfectly good for any level of recording from your first small project setup to a portable pro rig. You will never be disappointed with the sound coming from this little interface.

High Quality Software

No extra software is required with this interface and you can get started right out of the box. Included with this interface you not only have the incredible Ableton Live Lite and Cubase LE which means you can start recording and performing straight away but also a selection of Waves plugins free of charge.

Here's what M-Audio say about the M-Track Plus mkII

Achieve Professional Fidelity With Your Computer Recordings

The M-Track Plus delivers studio-grade 24-bit/96 kHz audio resolution in a compact and friendly format that is ideal for any user. This versatile interface accommodates any input, from an electric guitar to a professional condenser mic-and phantom power is provided. Ideal for on-the-go musicians, the sleek M-Track Plus features a durable metal case to withstand the rigors of the road. A single USB cable provides both power and a data connection to and from your laptop or desktop computer. Completing this powerful package are three complementary software selections: Cubase LE; Ableton Live Lite; and Waves Audio plugins to get things started.

All Are Welcome

M-Track Plus is equipped with versatile inputs to provide the best results with any type of audio source.  Each channel offers a combination XLR and 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 line level signal, or switched to allow an electric guitar, bass or any other instrument level source to be plugged directly into the M-Track Plus, while the gain knob ensures the proper input level.

Improved Inline Monitoring

M-Track Plus offers zero-latency monitoring of the input signal through both the main and headphone outputs. The monitor mix knob adjusts the balance between the direct inputs and the playback from your computer software. This makes it easy to record new parts or add parts to an existing composition. The Headphone output offers its own level control.

LED Metering

Multi-color LED metering provides instant visual feedback of the input levels.

Studio Software Inside

Ableton Live Lite delivers much of the functionality of Ableton Live-the revolutionary, multi-award winning music production solution that allows you to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise and edit your musical ideas in a seamless audio/MIDI environment. Live brings your acoustic, electronic and virtual instruments-as well as your digital audio recordings and MIDI sequences-together in a single interface with unparalleled ease of use.

Building on the same core technologies found in Steinberg's popular Cubase, Cubase LE is a special compact version offering all the basic tools for recording, editing and mixing everything from the basic idea to the final masterpiece. Included are over 18 effects, time stretching and pitch shifting, plus convenient project templates to assist with various production tasks. Cubase LE offers powerful yet easy-to-use software tools for a large range of music styles

Professional Sound With Waves

The M-Track Plus software suite also includes an impressive selection of plugin effects from Waves Audio Ltd. TrueVerb delivers a broad, natural reverb with an easy-to-use interface. AudioTrack offers a remarkable EQ, plus gating and compression. Plus, you can add a professional touch with the Eddie Kramer Effects Channel, created with legendary audio guru Eddie Kramer.
