Prism Sound Titan Multichannel Audio Interface with Digital Expansion Slot
Prism Sound Titan Multichannel Audio Interface with Digital Expansion Slot Titan and Atlas are world class multi-track interfaces offering flexible expansion and unsurpassable sonic clarity. Using the latest generation of Prism Sounds trusted conversion, Titan is ideal for music and sound recording, multi-tracking, overdubbing, stem-based mastering, analogue summing and critical listening applications. UNSURPASSED CLOCKING AND JITTER REJECTION Prism Sounds history in developing test and measurement equipment for the audio industry has allowed our engineers to get a much deeper understanding of digital clocking and its associated issues. DIGITAL MIXER WITH FLEXIBLE MONITORING Titan has a powerful built-in digital mixer that can be configured to provide a multitude of ultra low latency feeds, Including foldback to performers, stereo and surround outputs. FLEXIBLE I/O Titan has a maximum capability of 18 concurrent input and output channels, offering 8 analogue recording channels, 8 monitoring outputs, stereo digital input and output on a phono connector plus concurrent optical digital I/O ports. FUTURE PROOF CONNECTIVITY With a standard USB connection Titan can connect to the widest range of computers today and for the foreseeable future. Add to this the option of ProTools HDX and Dante modules for the most flexible and professional solution.
