The ART USB IV is a 4-input / 4-output USB audio/MIDI interface offering high resolution, user-friendly functionality, and a compact footprint for songwriters, beatmakers, and musicians in personal, mobile, and project studios. It features four XLR-1/4" combo inputs with low-noise mic preamps and selectable phantom power—the first two support mic/Hi-Z signals, while the last two accommodate mic- or line-level signals.
The USB IV utilizes 32-bit A/D-D/A converters to deliver accurate audio quality at sample rates up to 192 kHz. Outputs include stereo 1/4" main outs and a 1/4" headphone port with independent level controls and separate audio feeds—great for sending to monitors and a dedicated cue mix. The 5-pin MIDI I/O sockets on the rear panel allow easy hookup to external MIDI equipment such as a keyboard, synth, or sound module.
A front-panel switch for input monitoring lets you listen to the input signal with low latency and no routing required. Custom transformers are utilized to inhibit system noise and ground loops for quiet, quality performance. The included Cubasis LE software is a digital audio workstation that provides recording, editing, and mixing functions, perfect for getting started on your own musical creations.
