Features

Connect To Your Computer via a Single
USB Cable (page 8)
The AUDIOGRAM interface connects to your com-
puter via the supplied USB cable. Stereo audio data
is transferred in both directions-from the interface
to the computer, and vice-versa-via the USB con-
nection (44.1 kHz or 48 kHz sampling frequency).
No Driver Installation Required (page 8)
The AUDIOGRAM system uses the standard driv-
ers included in your computer's operating system,
so there's no need to install any extra driver soft-
ware.
Cubase AI DAW Software Supplied (page 8)
Cubase AI software, included in the AUDIOGRAM
package, offers versatile, high-performance hard-
disk recording capability.
Compression (page 16)
Compression increases the overall level without
introducing distortion by compressing excessive
peaks in the signals from microphones and guitars.
48V Phantom Power (page 16)
A PHANTOM switch supplies +48V phantom power
to the channel 1 microphone input, so you can use
high-quality phantom-powered condenser micro-
phones for superior recording quality.
