PUC2 USB Audio Interface

Thank you and congratulations for choosing PUC2! Experience one of the most 

advanced USB Audio Interfaces for Mac und Windows PCs by carefully reading 

this reference guide.

The idea behind Yellowtec‘s PUC2 USB Audio Interface is to provide a high-

quality sound card with a plug‘n‘play concept to start using it right away. PUC2 

provides a USB plug‘n‘play option for fast operation plus the optional use of 

ASIO and WME drivers* for advanced operators. It is capable of recording  

high-resolution audio at up to 192 kHz sample rate and 24 bit word-lengths. 

Several versions of PUC2 are available, offering different audio input and  

output formats and connections. The AES-3 interface on the front panel is  

common to all versions. For more information visit www.yellowtec.com.
