CAD CX1 Overview

Producers, musicians, and podcasters can record at home or on the go with the CAD CX1, a portable USB-C audio interface that combines quality sound with operational simplicity in a compact and lightweight package. The single preamp with combo XLR-1/4" inputs and gain knob enables you to record either a microphone via the XLR connector or a line-level device via the 1/4" connector.

The CX1 captures audio at professional 24-bit / 96 kHz resolution. It offers 48V phantom power for use with studio condenser microphones. The interface is fully USB bus-powered—no external power source required. A volume knob controls the level of the monitors or the headphone out—great for quietly monitoring yourself while performing. For complete recording freedom, the interface is compatible with almost any recording software on Windows or Mac laptop or desktop computers.
