Try it today!

    Among the features of the MiNiSTUDIO, the user interface is the biggest difference from audio interfaces design for music creation. We started from scratch and designed these units especially for personal broadcasting, carefully choosing the controls so that even people who are not knowledgeable about audio equipment can easily use them.

    Compatible with both headset mics and 4-pole (TRRS) earphone with mic.

    In addition to supporting professional external mics, US-42B is also compatible with computer headset mics and 4-pole (TRRS) earphone with mics designed for smartphones. Use equipment that you already have for personal broadcasting. When using a 4-pole earphone with mic, connect it to the stereo earphone mini jack.

    Loopback function and AUX input jack are great for BGM playback

    Using the loopback function that mixes in the playback sound from the computer (WDM) and sends it back to the computer, you can play program background music using music playback software (iTunes or Windows Media Player) that is already installed on the computer. Since this loopback function is always on, no special setting is necessary. Moreover, the stereo AUX input mini jack enables the connection of an iPod or other portable music player to use for BGM playback. You can also connect a synthesizer or other stereo instrument to the AUX input jack using a conversion cable (sold separately).

    Input monitoring circuit that allows input sounds to be heard at all times and an ON AIR button

    The input monitoring method allows you to listen to the audio using headphones before it is sent to the computer. The input sound is always sent to the headphone output, so no special setting is needed to listen to the input sound.

    The ON AIR button is a switch that controls audio transmission to the computer. Press the ON AIR button to start sending the sound that you are hearing in the headphones to the computer. The button will light when sound is being sent.

    Sound effect triggering (PON) function, voice effects and reverb enable many audio performance possibilities

    Multiple audio sound effect functions that are not found in ordinary audio interfaces and sound cards are built-in.

    With the dedicated software, in addition to making detailed settings, you can also easily operate the unit with the controls assigned to the unit. You can apply effects in real time during a program.

    Voice effects with presets for speech and vocals

    You can use the unit's internal voice effects to change mic input sounds by turning the EFFECT button ON. You can choose from five types of voice effects according to the purpose for your program.

    Dedicated software has an EASY tab for basic settings and an EXPERT tab for advanced settings

    The dedicated software for changing settings has an EASY page that is simple to use and an EXPERT page that allows you to make advanced settings. On the EASY page, you can change the sound simply by selecting a preset, so you will be able to enjoy using effects easily even if you do not have audio equipment knowledge. The ON AIR button is a switch that controls audio transmission to the computer. Press the ON AIR button to start sending the sound that you are hearing in the headphones to the computer. The button will light when sound is being sent.
