INPUTS
The 16-channel USB2.0, 96kHz/24bit audio system built into the XONE:DB4 makes it the perfect
interface for use with Digital Audio Workstation software. The mixer deals with the processor
intensive effects work, leaving the computer lightly loaded to better stream the audio data. Another
advantage is that all processing is kept in the digital domain, especially if the DAW is used to
simultaneously record the mix. MIDI compatible DAWs can be controlled from the DB4 via MIDI.
The supplied low-latency drivers must be installed before connecting the
XONE:DB4 to a computer; see page 35 for PC installation, or page 38 for
Mac installation.
