The new TC Electronic Impact Twin is an audio interface offering a pristine recording path, two mic preamps that feature the company’s Impact III technology, each featuring three stages: a high quality and very flexible mic amp, 192 kHz/24 bit HD conversion, and a set of recording Channel Tools, each carefully brought together.
The Impact III mic amp has been designed from the ground up to maximize the signal recorded into a DAW, as well as optimize any microphone, from the finest vintage tube mics to the most low-budget condensers.
While Impact Twin offers 192 kHz/24 bit HD conversion, rates can also be selected from 44.1kHz up 192kHz, helping to maintain the essential transients of the original sound.
Channel Tools that go even further to optimize the sound, with onboard EQ, compressor and de-esser that quickly, simply and invisibly tame and enhance those signals.
Another feature is iCheck (Integrity Check), which provides a shortcut for revealing any artifacts caused by data reduction – essential when encoding mp3 or AAC files.
