Studio One lets you shop, audition, and purchase new content right from your production environment.

Take the tour.
The 6-in, 6-out Studio 68c audio interface features USB-C computer connectivity and includes 2 combo mic/instrument/line inputs and 2 combo mic/line inputs with +48V phantom power for condenser mics, plus S/PDIF digital I/O. All four +-inch TRS, line-level outputs are DC coupled, enabling them to send control voltages. A Cue Mix A/B function lets you toggle between two mixes while monitoring through headphones-perfect for DJs and to listen in on a performer's monitor mix. The Studio 68c's built-in MIDI interface enables connection to a keyboard, sound module, or control surface.
