Each input also offers a low cut filter and a limiter, to ensure clean recordings. There are 6 RCA unbalanced outputs, plus digital S/PDIF input and output connectors. A USB 2.0 connector makes it easy to connect the recorder directly to your computer for file transfer. A cascade function lets you connect a pair of recorders for capturing up to 16 tracks.
