Studio sound that you can take anywhere
There is nothing more important to audio interfaces than sound quality. You shouldn't be sacrificing audio quality for the sake of an affordable interface that you can take with you. Rubix44's sound is clean and detailed with transparent, low-noise preamps and support for audio resolutions up to 24bit / 192kHz. Made of durable metal, it is compact and provides low noise. In all the places you can go with Rubix44, you'll appreciate the good shielding and grounding. You can be sure that you always have good, clear sound everywhere.
Hardware compressor / limiter
The high dynamics of the sources of vocalists and percussion instruments often needs to be tamed, especially when recording outside the studio. Dynamic processors help ensure a good signal without distortion and unwanted distortion. The built-in compressor / limiter of Rubix 24 provides peace of mind in the heat of the recording session.
Made for Mac, PC and iPad
Rubix44 is very portable and amazingly functional. It has standardized, low-latency PC and MAC drivers for easy operation and reliable performance. It also supports iPad, giving you an extremely compact recording system wherever you are, be it on tour or live performances. The kit also includes Ableton Live Lite, a powerful production and live performance software that works great with Rubix44, right out of the box.
4 high-quality mic preamps and 4 separate outputs
Rubix44's four mic preamps are designed to ensure low noise and high quality. They have clear sound and transparency with a lot of headroom to capture everything you recorded. Flexible combo jack inputs make it easy to connect multiple sources without the need for adapters or special cables. With four independent outputs, you have more options for connection setup and audio monitoring. They will come in handy when sending the metronome signal to another performer, for monitoring the signal on stage, or for routing it to external devices.
Large, easy-to-read indicators
The studio and stage are often dark places and getting the right level is crucial. You want to focus on the performance, not the small, hard-to-see clip and level indicators on the other side of the room. Rubix44v has clearly visible indicators that are an integral part of its appearance. It is them that, even from a distance, clearly indicate whether the channel receives the incoming signal or whether this signal is distorted.
