Connectivity
The Nanoface provides 6 audio I/Os – more than enough
for a small home studio, a DJ- or surround setup.
A MIDI input and two MIDI outputs allow to connect a
master keyboard and two external synthesizers or samplers.
Four analog inputs – two of them equipped with high-
quality mic preamps - allow the simultaneously recording
of different sources at the same time, like a microphone, an
electric guitar and a synthesizer.
Four analog outputs provide a flexible setup for monitoring
two stereo signals at the same time, e. g. with main speakers
and headphones. The signal from output 1/2 can be routed
to output 3/4 and individually adjusted.
The digital I/O works in standard SPDIF format. This makes
the Nanoface the perfect partner for a digital signal from a
CD player or an effect unit.
