The entry into the Amber series
Upgrading our legendary U22 XT, this audio interface offers maximum flexibility and excellent audio quality.
Amber i1 features a new modern eye catching design with an amber colored volume knob that stands out from the green sand main body color. Hardware loopback, USB-C, a completely newly designed LED display area, separate line inputs, advanced signal source selection and an exceptional audio quality in this class are just a few of the special features by Amber i1.
Everything you need to record
Amber i1 provides everything you need to record vocals and instruments in professional studio quality. The bus powered USB-C audio interace provides superb 24-bit / 192 kHz converters and works with ultra-low latency. It features a high quality microphone preamp with 48V phantom power, a Hi-Z guitar input with gain control and dedicated line level inputs for synthesizers or sound modules.

Studio monitors can be connected to the balanced outputs.
