USB Audio Interface
The USB audio interface on 500R8 is a 28-in/30-out, USB
2.0 audio interface that enables connection to PC, Mac,
or Linux devices for recording and playback.
USB 2.0 provides ample bandwidth and speed to
perform all of 500R8’s recording and monitoring duties
at extremely low buffer settings and high sample rates.
500R8’s implementation of its USB drivers and firmware
enables extremely lightweight and efficient interfacing
whilst remaining the most stable and widely accepted
standard on modern and legacy machines.
Note:
USB 3.0 type C ports such as those found on
Mac devices are backwards compatible with 500R8 provided USB adapters are
used that do not truncate the USB stream.
