Gearfocus: A closer look at the hardware
In gearfocus we take a closer look at the hardware we use. In this part of gearfocus: the audio interface I usel the Steinberg AXR4U.
A highend USB3.0 audio interface with Rupert Neve simulation.
The key specifications are:

- SSPLL technology for extremely low jitter
- DSPX chip and dspMixFx technology for latency-free monitoring with DSP-powered effects

At Synchro music we use the Steinberg XR4U interface to record high quality vocals and to integrate the hardware into the DAW (Cubase). We have added extra I/O by utilizing the ADAT feature where we connected a Line/Mic Pre-Amp.
The Rupert Neve SILK feature allows us to add that extra flavour to the recordings; a little shine or some more warmth, depending on the microphone and the voice we are recording. Absolute sparkling high-end quality!
Applications
At Synchro music we mainly use the Steinberg AXR4U hooked up to the DAW, to integrate the hardware and to record vocals. High-end sound quality guaranteed!
