Revolution 14x16 comes equipped with four mic preamps, including two Cinemag-transformer-driven Auteur preamps, which impart rich analog warmth and color to your recordings. The interface can operate as a standalone 4-channel preamp without a computer, making it ideal for both studio and live settings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\nWith the unique Mix Edit feature, users can craft custom headphone mixes across Revolution 14x16's three crystal-clear headphone amps. The interface includes four switchable send\/return loops for integrating external hardware processors, and its proprietary Macro-MMC clock ensures world-class synchronization and low-noise conversion for your digital hardware. Expansion is made easy with ADAT I\/O, allowing for the addition of up to eight extra channels. Bundled with a comprehensive software suite—including PreSonus Studio One+ DAW, and plug-ins from Sonarworks, Audified, and Psychic Modulation—the Revolution 14x16 offers a premium all-in-one solution for musicians, producers, creators, songwriters, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\nModded Out of the Box\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary PG-i filtering technology and highly filtered power rails work with full-circuit power decoupling to further reduce noise contamination.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFor the best possible capture and playback, Revolution 14x16 sports over two dozen high-end, hard-to-get Vishay, Wima, and Nichicon capacitors, and thin film resistors.
