SPL SPLCRIMWH Overview

The Crimson High Performance USB Interface and Monitor Controller from SPL is designed to operate in tandem with your Digital Audio Workstation or as a stand-alone device. It combines a high-performance USB audio interface with high-quality preamps and a separate, fully-featured monitor controller. The interface allows you to play and play back, record and convert, and control and listen with one single device. As a stand-alone device you can also plug in an instrument and play, connect a microphone and sing along, as well as mix your monitor signal with playback or guide tracks from any source. The unit can be used on a leveled and stable surface or mounted in a dedicated rack frame. The housing is EMC-safe and shielded against HF interference.

Six recording and six playback channels
Ten source connections and twenty monitoring channels
34V operational voltage for pro levels up to +22 dBu
Two discrete microphone preamplifiers, two instrument preamplifiers, and two separate headphone amps
Connect and control two stereo speaker sets
Monitor mix from recording and DAW return paths
Individual artist monitoring signal with talkback option
Hot-plugging iPad recording/monitoring
Hi-speed USB 2.0 (480 MBit/s), MIDI I/O, and SPDIF I/O
Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 (32-/64-bit) and Mac OSX 10.4 and up and iOS 6 and up
Driver for Mac OSX Mavericks
24-bit / 192 kHz converter
