The M-AUDIO AIR 192|14 recording audio interface USB 24-bit/192kHz is an 8-in / 4-out USB audio and MIDI interface designed for desktop studios and professional setups. Housed in a robust metal chassis, it provides 24-bit/192kHz A/D conversion, four XLR+¼" TRS combo inputs with Crystal Preamps and phantom power, two dedicated instrument inputs, two dedicated line inputs, MIDI I/O and multiple monitor and headphone outputs. The interface includes low-latency USB connectivity and direct monitor mix control to support performance-focused recording and reliable playback.

Advantages

The AIR 192|14 delivers studio-grade 24-bit/192kHz conversion and low-noise Crystal Preamps to capture detailed, accurate recordings. Its combination of combo mic/line inputs, dedicated instrument inputs and line inputs enables flexible routing for vocals, mic’d amps, guitars, basses and outboard gear. Dual headphone outputs with independent volume controls and a large metal monitor knob provide precise level control for performer and engineer monitoring. Included software and plugin bundles expand capabilities immediately without requiring additional purchases.

How to use

Connect the AIR 192|14 to your computer via USB and install the included software package and drivers as required by your operating system. Power any condenser microphones using the onboard phantom power and plug instruments into the dedicated instrument inputs when recording direct. Adjust input gain using the front-panel controls while observing the segmented VU LEDs to set optimal levels. Use the direct/USB mix knob to blend input monitoring with playback for zero-latency performance, and route outputs to studio monitors or external processors using the rear outputs. Use the MIDI I/O to connect external keyboards, sequencers or drum machines.

Recommendations

For the cleanest recordings, set preamp gain so the segmented VU meters peak near but do not reach 0 dB. Engage phantom power only when using condenser microphones. Use direct monitor mix while tracking to avoid latency and create separate headphone mixes with the independent headphone controls for performers. Keep drivers and bundled software updated for best compatibility with Windows and macOS systems.
