The Q10 has a PCI audio interface and shielded 24-bit converters inside a rugged rack-mountable breakout box. The front panel has 8 studio-quality, discrete mic preamps, four have 48V phantom power. Eight (8) 1/4" balanced analog line inputs (+4 dBu/-10 dBv). Two inputs allow direct recording from high-impedance instruments such as electric guitar and bass. The Q10’s front panel has a 1/4" headphone jack with output knob, and a separate knob for the monitor. It offers 10 line outputs!
Other features include: 4 inserts, S/PDIF in/out, MIDI in/out, Wordclock in/out, Headphone out, DSP software mixer, Peak metering, and VU metering.
