Naturally, distortion and noise are reduced to a minimum. The interface is not only compatible with Mac and PC, but with your iPad as well.

It goes without saying that the first link of recording chain is essential for the overall quality. Fortunately, the TM-80 is a high-grade large-diaphragm condenser microphone, suitable for various sound sources. You can use it for vocals and acoustic instruments, but it can also handle louder audio sources like drums and brass instruments. With the TH-02 headphones you're fully equipped to evaluate the signals you've recorded. They optimally block out ambient sound, so you're able to fully focus on your music.
