Monitor Controller and Interface
Now
with three products in the Big Knob lineup, studios of any size will benefit

high-resolution Onyx™ USB recording and playback, studios get a powerful,
hybrid solution that is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

between three audio input sources and two monitor pairs. It can be used for
project and professional studios and is designed to increase your workflow for
recording and mixing applications.
It features a built-in 2x2 USB recording interface with two
Onyx mic preamps and phantom power for condenser microphones. Recording and

more.
