"Many recording professionals in their personal and project studiosæand most high-end facilitiesæhave turned to computers and software applications to complete their work. With the US-428, we’re now able to offer a comprehensive and very easy-to-use bridge between the recording industry and the computer age. Truly a plug-and-play device, the US-428 is ready to plug into your computer and record right out of the box."

The unit’s control surface also supports transport, EQ and control functions for sequencers and DAWs. Advertisement Users can support inputs of 16- or 24-bit resolution at 44.1 or 48 kHz, and stereo or mono, with four analog inputs able to be recorded at once.
