The US-122’s design makes it ideal for use with laptop computers, so you can carry your profes- sional studio around in a backpack. With its rock- solid, die-cast aluminum chassis and robust, compact design, you instantly know that the US-122 was built for the road. And since it’s powered by the USB connection, that’s one less wall-wart power supply you

need to cart around or lose.

The US-122’s Direct Monitor feature gives you the flexibility to record and overdub without suffering with latency delay. You’ll easily record layer after layer into the bundled Cubasis VST software, crafting your musical ideas into finished productions. (See the sidebar on Direct Monitoring for more information.) The line inputs of the US-122 can be switched to guitar level, so you can plug in

direct without any extra baggage. And with 24-bit, 48kHz recording quality, your late night motel room sketches might just make it on to your next album.
