The US-600 is a USB 2.0 Audio/MIDI interface with six inputs and four outputs and the perfect choice for multi-track recording with your computer. All input channels can be captured at up to 96-kHz/24-bit audio resolution. Four high-definition XLR microphone inputs include phantom power for detailed recording with condenser microphones. Each input uses an XLR/TRS combo jack to support microphone or line level sources and includes a signal/clip LED to help you set your input level. Input 1 can be switched to instrument-level for direct recording of guitar or bass, and a direct monitor path allows musicians to hear their performance without a delay from the computer. On the rear panel, the US-600 includes a pair of unbalanced outputs, MIDI input and output and a stereo SPDIF digital in and out.
The US-600 comes with a copy of Cubase LE 5 – the latest version of Steinberg’s 48-track workstation software. VST plug-in support, automated mixing and MIDI tracks allow you to craft large productions. If you want to use your own software, the US-200 supports most Mac and Windows audio applications such as Logic Pro, Live, Nuendo, Digital Performer, Fruity Loops, Pro Tools 9 and more.
