Ableton is the industry standard for recording software, and M-Audio has collaborated to develop a version of this excellent collection specifically tailored to our hardware. This amazing audio and MIDI recording software will inspire you to capture, record, and share your ideas anytime with the world.

Also included is an extensive software package with effect plugins, virtual instruments, and loops. Whether you’re looking for a specific guitar tone, reverb, or delay – with Revalver, MPC Beats, and the AIR Creative FX Collection Plus, M-Audio gives you the effects you need for your production.

Simply Connect Everything

The AIR 192|14 features 8 inputs for recording up to 8 channels simultaneously to meet all your studio’s recording needs. The (4) dedicated XLR/TRS mic/line combo inputs with Crystal Preamps and phantom power are perfect for recording vocals or multiple singers, mic’ing an acoustic guitar, a vintage guitar, or a bass amp, or for the core elements of a drum kit.

The (2) dedicated 6.3mm instrument inputs have specially designed gain and impedance stages to deliver the cleanest signal from your guitar, bass, or keyboard, while the (2) dedicated 6.3mm line inputs provide a pure, uncolored signal for connecting tube preamps, keyboards, synthesizers, or mixers. A MIDI input and output are also available for connecting standard MIDI accessories.

Mixing & Monitoring

At the center of the AIR 192|14 is a large metal monitor volume knob with a rubberized diamond-texture surface. The monitor and headphone outputs feature a direct mono/stereo switch and a direct/USB mix control. The (2) 6.3mm headphone outputs each have independent volume control, and source selection switches make it easy to find the right mix for you or your artist. In addition to the (2) 6.3mm monitor outputs on the rear panel, the AIR 192|14 also offers (2) 6.3mm outputs for connecting external gear.

Segmented VU Meters for Optimal Level Setting

When recording a performance, you want the best possible levels. The segmented VU LEDs (-20dB to 0dB) on the AIR 192|14 help you set the right gain every time, so optimizing your signal is no longer guesswork.

Crystal Preamps, Premium A/D Converters & High-Quality Components

M-Audio’s engineers developed the Crystal Preamps to deliver a transparent, low-noise preamp that enables the best possible reproduction of your microphones and captures your performance exactly as you want it. The AIR 192|14 includes flawless A/D converters for digital audio with 24-bit resolution and an explosive dynamic range that captures every subtle nuance of your performance.

Hear the Performance Immediately – Not a Second Later

When recording, you want to capture the perfect moment and get the best out of your artist. You don’t want to be held back by "clicks," other noise disturbances, or latency. The AIR 192|14 offers not only a lightning-fast USB connection for the lowest total latency (2.59ms*) between your machine and hardware, but also a monitoring mix control to listen to source inputs directly and latency-free.
*Total latency depends on buffer settings and computer hardware

Professional Condenser Microphone for Studio Recordings!

The new Pronomic CM-22 is a professional large-diaphragm microphone perfectly suited for demanding studio applications. The FET technology (field-effect transistor) used provides high-quality signal transmission on a fully analog basis, delivers a silky warm sound, and is the first choice in the studio for recording vocals and acoustic instruments such as guitar, strings, or drums.

High-Quality Recording

The gold-sputtered 1.25" diaphragm and FET preamp ensure a balanced, wide frequency range with very low self-noise – an absolute must for professional recordings! The cardioid polar pattern stable across the entire frequency range makes the CM-22 a true all-rounder for numerous applications. Especially when used with a second CM-22 as a stereo pair, it offers the possibility of high-quality stereo recordings (drum overheads, classical or traditional ensembles, radio plays, atmospheres, etc.).

The CM-22 comes with a high-quality microphone spider (5/8" thread) and a carrying case.

What Can I Connect the CM-22 To?
As a condenser microphone, the CM-22 absolutely requires an XLR connection with a preamp and 48V phantom power, such as a mixer or audio interface. It is NOT suitable for direct connection to a computer.

Comfortable and Professional – For Those Who Like It That Way!

The dynamic Classic Cantabile KH-238 stereo headphones offer excellent sound characteristics combined with outstanding wearing comfort at an unbeatable price.

Whether you use the headphones for live applications on stage, recording in the studio, with your digital piano, keyboard, e-drum set, or computer, or just want to listen to music quietly again – the KH-238 will serve you excellently!

Excellent Sound

The KH-238 delivers a full, balanced sound with rich bass reproduction and clear highs. It offers plenty of volume while maintaining clean and precise stereo imaging.

Comfort Is Key

Of course, the softly padded, wide headband is adjustable in length. The extension offers 12 steps on each side for optimal fit. For even more comfort, the ear cups are mounted on two axes for rotation. The thick, soft padding of the circumaural cups also provides good external noise isolation.

Cleverly Designed

The volume control integrated into the cable is always at hand, simplifying use with a PC or mp3 player. The 3.5 mm stereo jack plug delivers excellent transmission properties, and a 6.3 mm stereo jack adapter is also included.

Professional XLR Cable with High-Quality Connectors!

The cables of the Pronomic Stage Pro-Line stand for clean audio transmission and durable components. The high-quality connectors and the flexible yet robust outer jacket are absolutely stage-ready and won’t let you down even in demanding situations.

Only oxygen-free copper is used for the Stage Pro-Line cables. This ensures durable, consistent quality and protects against corrosion. The connectors are hand-soldered and feature strain relief clamps so the solder joints are free from mechanical stress. A high-density copper shield effectively protects the audio signal from impact noise and electromagnetic interference, such as from power supplies and power cables. This guarantees low conductor capacitance and crystal-clear audio transmission.

The Stage Pro-Line is a professional, balanced audio cable especially recommended as a microphone cable or for other XLR connections. It is also ideal for wiring home studios.

The Entry into the World of Podcasting & More – Studio Microphone Arm from McGrey!

Made entirely of metal, the McGrey microphone arm offers stable handling at a reasonable price. The arm is mounted in the sturdy table clamp and can be secured against twisting. The foam rubber insert on the clamp protects the table surface from unsightly scratches.

A total of 4 springs reliably hold your microphone in place while allowing individual adjustments. This way, you can rely on consistent vocal quality while having full flexibility in microphone positioning.

All standard microphone clips and spiders fit the 3/8" thread, and a reducer thread as well as a mic clip are included for immediate use.
