The Korena take
Built for moving stereo audio from a laptop into a PA, recording console, or broadcast mixer. Its balanced outputs keep the handoff to the console straightforward, while 24-bit/96 kHz conversion handles the digital-to-analog stage internally. Use the headphone amplifier to monitor the converted signal, set the output level for the destination, and engage mono sum when a mono check or two-output distribution is needed. Isolation and ground-lift controls provide options when ground-loop hum or buzz appears.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Sending stereo laptop playback to balanced inputs on a PA, recording, or broadcast console
