The perfect choice for solo performers who want studio-quality recordings!With the AIR 192|4, you can create flawless 24-bit/192kHz studio-quality recordings with an intuitive and easy-to-use audio interface. The AIR 192|4 enables you to record up to 2 channels at once with its dedicated XLR+¼” balanced combo input, and an all-new ¼” instrument input that has a specially-designed gain and impedance stage to provide the most accurate representation of a guitar or bass plugged directly into the interface.

M-Audio Crystal preamp
The AIR192X4’s low-noise Crystal preamp builds a solid foundation for any style recording. Clean and uncolored, M-Audio’s Crystal preamp is a blank slate for your creative mix decisions down the road.

Latest-gen A/D converters
High headroom and low distortion are yours at every stage of the recording process, thanks to the AIR192X4’s current-gen A/D converters.

Direct input for guitar and bass
A front-mounted 1/4" instrument input streamlines the M-Audio AIR192X4 for guitar and bass players. The included Eleven Lite FX suite gives you several virtual amp, cab, and stomp options to choose from, so you can leave your amp and pedalboard behind.

Rugged tabletop form factor
The M-Audio AIR192X4’s desk-friendly form factor puts all essential controls right at your fingertips, with an ergonomic tilt that improves visibility for desktop and remote use. A feature we at Sweetwater have enjoyed in all recent AIR interfaces is the large central volume knob, which is unmistakable and easy to access for setting desired monitoring levels. The all-metal chassis feels great underhand and is sure to hold up to location recording.

High-speed USB-C
USB-C protocol (also compatible with USB 2.0) gives the AIR192X4 fast round-trip speeds — as low as 2.59ms — to minimize latency when you're tracking and monitoring.
