Compact recording hardware

The M-Audio AIR 192|14 is an audio interface that is capable of making high-quality recordings in a resolution of up to 192kHz and 24Bit. It is equipped with eight inputs and four outputs, as well as MIDI connectivity options. The intuitive user interface allows the gain for all six channels to be adjusted comfortably. With the large central encoder, users can control the volume of the playback easily and quicky. Moreover, the M-Audio AIR 192|14 offers low-noise preamps, switchable direct monitoring, and two dedicated inputs for electric guitar or bass, as well as two headphone outputs. Thanks to its small size and its flexible connectivity options, this compact recording hardware is the ideal companion in every recording situation.

Flexible I/Os for every recording

On the front panel, users can find two dedicated line inputs for sources with a high impedance like electric guitars or basses. These inputs are equipped with impedance adjustment and a special preamp, whose gain can be controlled via an encoder on the right side of the user interface. The four XLR/TRS mic/line inputs allow users to connect not only microphones, but also keyboards with 6.3mm jack cables. With the flick of a switch, inputs 1/2 and 3/4 can be supplied with 48V phantom power, in order to use connected condenser microphones. The main output in stereo is to be found on the rear side in 6.3mm jack format; the two headphone outputs use the same formatsand are to be found on the front side. Using two mini jack adapters, users can connect 5-pin MIDI cables on the rear side, which is especially useful when sending data to external analogue synthesizers.

For first-time users and studio experts

The M-Audio AIR 192|14 is great alternative for recording engineers' studios – despite its compact dimensions, its volume knob is hard to overlook. And thanks to its small size it's ideal for mobile applications, with its robust audio interface making it more than suitable for everyday use. Newcomers to the recording world, i.e. those who don't yet have their own DAW, will be glad to find that the package includes a special version of Pro Tools First | M-Audio, as well as Ableton Live Lite. The Pro Tools version here includes the virtual instruments Xpand!2, Mini Grand, Vacuum, BOOM, DB33, Strike, and Hybrid 3.0, with which users can play drums, synthesizers, strings, and organs. Added to that, they can also make use of 2GB of Touch Loops content for creative music productions.

About M-Audio

M-Audio is one of the best-known manufacturers of MIDI controllers, audio and MIDI interfaces, monitor boxes, and other studio equipment. Founded in 1988 under the name Midiman, the company quickly made a name for itself, always focusing on practical features and value for money. With the successful Oxygen series, M-Audio was instrumental in establishing the genre of MIDI controller keyboards for DAW-based studios. For a time, M-Audio was part of Digidesign / Avid. The brand is now part of the inMusic group and its success story continues to this day.

Low-latency monitoring for every session

Several instruments or vocalists can be recorded at the same time thanks to the M-Audio AIR 192|14's flexible inputs and outputs, while specially developed Crystal Preamps ensure low-noise recordings. The VU LEDs offer a visual representation of the current level in a range between -20 and 0dB. The volume for both headphone outputs can be adjusted independently. Users can also switch between the monitor mix and output 3/4, with the device's low latency a real plus here. The Monitor Mix control enables users to blend between the direct signal of the M-Audio Air 192|14 and the signal from the DAW of the connected computer. The large central volume knob is rubberised to ensure a slip-resistant operation when the volume needs to be adjusted fast.

Good for live and recording

Alex<randomInteger> 08.10.2020

A great combination of features which I haven't seen in other interfaces of the same price range:
- Enough inputs to have all your instruments connected and ready for action;
- 6 input gain controls, really helps for boosting instruments with low level line outputs;
- 2 headphone outputs with individual volume controls;
- Direct monitoring;
- All XLRs are on the rear panel, you can lay the cables neatly;
- Works even without powering up the PC.

I don't know a thing about recording quality, but for a live performance this unit is just great.
I tried first NI Komplete 6 and Focusrite 8i6, M-Audio has won the competition, mainly because it allows to set gain level for line inputs.

You can feel the quality even when you hold it on your hand. The weight and the material feels so original. The best sound card ever!

Réaction à chaud

kdoch1 29.07.2021

Ça ne fait que quelques jours que je l'ai, ceci est une réaction à chaud que je modifierai sans doute à l'avenir quand le l'aurai un peu plus usée.

Pour l'instant, je n'y vois que des points forts:
- le son excellent: je ne suis pas un pro, mais il y a une nette différence dans la clarté avec ma Steinberg UR22
- le design est top, avec tout le câblage à l'arrière, le gros bouton de volume général, le bouton power qui n'est pas caché inutilement...
- j'adore le fait qu'elle puisse être alimentée par USB ou par transfo et fonctionner de manière autonome: je l'utilise non seulement comme carte son, mais aussi pour jouer de mes différents synthés sans avoir à allumer mon ordi
- on verra avec le temps, mais elle a vraiment l'air bien robuste, je compte d'ailleurs la trimballer un peu partout
- le nombre d'entrées est parfait pour faire un peu plus que du home studio, enregistrer du "live" pour un prix relativement démocratique: 4 micros pour une batterie, une entrée pour la basse et pour la guitare, et il reste encore 2 entrées bonus

Great DAAD interface with a major technical flaw

diacinco 28.04.2022

So, I bought this USB-C interface to replace my decade-old interface I had bought back in the days when Firewire seemed to be undying. Little did I know about the fact that USB-C has a technical flaw that can render the audio quality unbearable. If you are using a laptop or an older desktop with integrated USB-C port and your CPU is not all too powerful you can run into crackles and low quality audio during a life performance, because, apparently, USB depends on I/O scheduling of the CPU and USB-C with audio especially needs low latency on high quality settings. When your live performance setup, like with Ableton Live 11, uses too much CPU power on its own be prepared for audio issues. This is a killer. I mean, wow! The only thing that seems to help is switching to a USB-C to USB-3 adapter cable. Again, on older USB-C ports, newer ones might not be affected that much.

Besides that this device is actually amazingly well built and I really wish they will sort out the USB-C quality issues in the future.
