Key Features

A dedicated headphone output enables private monitoring while delivering an independent stereo signal from output channels 1 and 2.

It is fully compatible with applications such as Cubase, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Traktor Pro, VirtualDJ, Serato, MixVibes, Reason, Reaktor, and many more. Windows users also benefit from EWDM drivers with DirectWIRE support, allowing flexible internal audio routing between applications.
