An affordable USB interface for on-the-go recording.
E-MU's Tracker Pre USB 2.0 is a portable audio interface and mobile preamp that works well with both
Mac and PC computers. The Tracker offers you 24-bit/192kHz recording and playback, direct monitoring, and a host of professional
features in a compact, USB bus-powered package. The E-MU Tracker Pre USB gives you 2 Class-A ultra-low noise Mic/Line/Hi-Z
preamplifiers that can be run independently or in stereo to record guitars, keyboards, or microphones with optimal audio performance.
CurrentMorph, a patent-pending circuit design, allows the Tracker Pre to offer +48V phantom power and use premium high-power
converters while using only USB bus power.
E-MU Tracker Pre USB 2.0 Features:
- 24-bit/192kHz A/D and D/A converters (A/D and D/A: 112dB measured SNR performance) deliver USB audio fidelity, gold-plated
connectors for better audio quality
- Preamplified analog signals are available before the A/D converters, allowing the Tracker Pre to be used as a standalone
stereo microphone preamp (using optional power supply)
- Hardware zero-latency direct monitoring (mono or stereo) with continuously variable level control
- Plug-and-play operation with hands-on control of all major functions like direct monitoring level, headphone level, preamplifier
gain, and more
