INPUTS
The 16-channel USB2.0, 96kHz/24bit audio system built into the XONE:DB4 makes it the perfect in-
terface for use with Digital Audio Workstation software. The mixer deals with the processor inten-
sive effects work, leaving the computer lightly loaded to better stream the audio data. Another ad-
vantage is that all processing is kept in the digital domain, especially if the DAW is used to simultane-
ously record the mix. MIDI compatible DAWs can be controlled from the DB4 via MIDI.
The supplied low-latency drivers must be installed before connecting the
XONE:DB4 to a computer; see page 30 for PC installation, or page 33 for
Mac installation.
