What's New and Improved?
Crisp, Clear Sound
The M-Track Duo HD steps up its audio game, offering 24-bit/192kHz conversion—that's a sweet upgrade from the M-Track Duo's 16-bit/48kHz support. With 55dB of gain through M-Audio's low-noise Crystal preamps, you can expect crystal-clear, powerful audio capture. And yes, it's equipped with +48V phantom power, just like its predecessor.
Modern Connectivity
Say goodbye to ancient USB-B inputs and hello to USB-C. The M-Track Duo HD swaps out the old for the new, promising a more modern and versatile recording experience. It also features dual combo XLR/TRS inputs for mic, line, or instrument signals, two 1/4" TRS outputs, and a 1/4" headphone output with an independent level control.
Zero-Latency Monitoring
One of the essential features for musicians and producers is zero-latency monitoring, and the M-Track Duo HD delivers on this front. With a Direct/USB monitor switch, you can enjoy real-time performance feedback without any lag.
Enhanced Software Bundle
The M-Track Duo HD comes with a software bundle that's sure to boost your creativity. Expect the MPC Beats music production software, along with a selection of virtual instruments and effects plugins from AIR.
Pricing and Availability
The M-Track Duo HD retails for $99, which is double the price of the M-Track Duo, but you're getting some serious improvements for that extra investment. You can also grab it as part of a Producer Pack bundle with M-Audio's HD41 headphones and M100 studio condenser mic for $179.
