Studio-quality sounds that you can take with you anywhere
When it comes to audio interfaces, nothing is more important than sound quality, which you should not sacrifice for a portable and affordable audio interface. Rubix44 ensures clear, detailed, and transparent sounds, low-noise microphone preamps, and provides high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192kHz. The interface has a durable metal housing, low-noise design, and compact size. Since you can take the Rubix44 with you anywhere, you will appreciate the protection and ground lift that will allow you to achieve clear sounds anywhere.
Hardware compressor/limiter
Extremely dynamic sources, such as a singer's voice or percussion instruments, need to be adjusted frequently, especially when recording live. Dynamic processors ensure that signals do not drop out and do not produce unwanted distortion. The compressor/limiter of the Rubix44 unit provides a calm atmosphere during intense recordings.
Designed for Mac, PC and iPad
Rubix44 is compact and versatile, featuring class compliant drivers with low latency for Mac and PC, making it easy to set up the unit and achieve reliable performance. Rubix44 has numerous inputs and outputs for expanding your studio setup, and is also compatible with iPad, providing you with a compact system for music recording/production on the go or for live performances.
4 microphone preamps and 4 separate outputs
The four microphone preamps of Rubix44 are designed for low noise and high definition. They produce clear and transparent sounds with plenty of headroom to capture every detail of the elements you want to record. The multi-purpose combo jacks help you connect a wide range of sources without needing adapters or special cables, and with the four individual outputs, you can create more sophisticated routing and monitoring setups. This feature is useful for sending a click track to a performer, setting up a stage monitor, or sending audio to an external device.
Large level indicators
Studios and stages can be dark spaces, and achieving appropriate levels is essential. It is understandable that you want to focus on your performance, not on small level indicators that are hard to see. Rubix44 features visible indicators that are an integral part of the unit's design. They show whether a channel has an input signal or whether overload will occur, even from a distance.
