It also delivers exceptional sound quality, new ultra-low latency drivers and expanded DSP for studio-grade mobile audio recording.Superb audio qualityAnalog outputs deliver 117dB dynamic range at sample rates up to 192 kHz. Renowned drivers deliver rock-solid performance and industry-leading low latency.Ultra-low latencyNew, optimized drivers for both Mac and PC deliver ultra-low latency performance. With a high-performance DAW such as Digital Performer, the UltraLite-mk4 delivers an astonishing round trip latency (RTL) of 1.83 ms (milliseconds) on OS X and 1.84 ms on Windows over USB (at 96 kHz with a 32-sample host buffer).Built for studio and stageHoused in a compact, aluminum-alloy enclosure you can take anywhere, the UltraLite-mk4 is equally well-suited for studio and stage, with or without acomputer. As an interface or mixer, the UltraLite-mk4 provides 18 ins and 22outs, for a total of 40 simultaneous I/O channels.All the I/O you needConnect all of your audio gear, including speakers, headphones, mics, guitars, synths, keyboards, drum machines, effects processors and even MIDI devices.Large console-style mixingRecord, monitor, route and process all live inputs using the on-board 48-channel, console-style mixer, with no latency and no processor strain on your computer.Modeled analog EQ and compressionFurther sculpt your sound with 4-band parametric EQ featuring filter types carefully modeled after British analog console EQs. Choose between two forms of compression: a conventional compressor and the Leveler™, an accurate model of the legendary LA-2A optical compressor that provides vintage, musical automatic gain control.Advanced ExtrasAnalyze and scope your audio with advanced diagnostic tools, including a full-screen real-time FFT display, spectrogram “waterfall” display, full- featured oscilloscope, X-Y plot and phase analyzer.Mobile recording and mixingAfter recording and mixing in the studio, take the UltraLite-mk4 on the road with your laptop for mobile recording and live mixing.Web app controlThe software that you use to control the UltraLite-mk4 doesn’t reside on your hard drive.
