CAD CX2 Overview

Producers, musicians, and podcasters can record at home or on the go with the CAD CX2 Connect II, a portable 2x2 USB Type-C audio interface that combines quality sound with operational simplicity and a robust all-metal body.

Great Upgrade

Upgraded my podcasting setup to connect my XLR mic directly to my computer. This little box does just what I need it to without a lot of bells and whistles.

Really good features for the Price

Are the inputs (1/4" mode, each side) stereo or mono jacks?
Asked by: Terry
The CAD CX2 Connect II 2x2 USB Audio Interface has two separate input channels which each have an XLR-1/4" TRS combo jack. This type of input connection can be used with XLR or 1/4" connectors. Each input is mono, but you can create stereo audio by connecting microphones, instruments, or line level devices to both inputs.
