TC Electronic Impact Twin 2-channel FireWire Interface with Two Preamps
You don't need a big, expensive studio console (and all the complicated routing that entails) to get great-sounding tracks on your computer. You do need great preamps and no-compromise AD/DA conversion. You get both with the Impact Twin! Its two premium preamps make any mic you plug in sound fantastic. And, though this ultra-portable box features an incredibly simple front-panel layout, you can use it to access and control several great monitoring and tracking features. Add reverb to your monitor mix, control reverb and delay functions in your DAW, even adjust the mix between your input audio and playback sound - with a 2-knob setup!
The Impact Twin comes bundled with an incredible set of TC plug-ins, including the fantastic M40 Studio Reverb, the fat-sounding ResFilter, and the Assimilator EQ curve assimilation tool - imagine grabbing an EQ curve from any sound you love, and applying it to your track. That's what Assimilator does! Add the pro results you get from the included compressor and the included Ableton Live Lite 8 TC Electronic Edition production software, and you've got a ton of performance from a box that goes anywhere your laptop goes.
From its incredible 24-bit/192kHz conversion quality to its array of analog, MIDI, FireWire, and S/PDIF digital inputs and outputs, the Impact Twin is perfect for desktops, mobile studios, and more. You don't have to settle for "good enough" when you can take top-flight TC quality with you when you want to record. Best of all, you don't have to be a studio-savvy engineer to get amazing results; the Impact Twin is amazingly easy to use!
