Its also very quiet, with a low noise floor that wont interfere with your recordings. The signal to noise ratio is excellent, so you dont have to worry about any unwanted noise in your recordings. Additionally, the volume control on the interface is smooth and precise, making it easy to get just the right level for your recordings.
