The latest generation AD\/DA converters provide sample rates up to 192 kHz with an SNR of up to 115 dBA. Due to its efficient jitter reduction, SteadyClock(TM) guarantees pristine sound quality, even when clocking to an external digital source.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e High-End Mic Preamps\u003cbr\u003e Both digitally controlled preamps provide individually switchable 48V phantom power. A gain of up to 60 dB, adjustable in steps of 3 dB over a range of 51 dB, exceptional EIN performance even at low amplification settings, and extremely low THD+N values let these preamps surpass those of other devices that cost several times the price of the Babyface. All level settings are 100% recallable by the setup software and can be comfortably adjusted directly at the unit.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Digital I\/Os\u003cbr\u003e The incredible feature set includes an optical TOSLINK I\/O, usable as ADAT port with SMUX support or SPDIF optical at up to 192 kHz.
