A pad on each mic preamp lets you accommodate higher-level signals without clipping. Two high-headroom instrument inputs on the front panel let you record guitars and basses without clipping or unwanted distortion. Speaker switching technology makes it easy to switch between pairs of monitors for different perspectives on the mix, and the new built-in talkback microphone lets you communicate with the artist at the touch of a button, helping you capture the perfect recording.
