with professional audio tools and flexible monitoring controls. Before
connecting to a computer, please visit www.presonus.com/products/

Note: The speed of your processor, amount of RAM, and capacity, size,
and speed of your hard drives will greatly affect the overall performance
of your recording system. A faster processor and more RAM can reduce
signal latency (delay) and improve overall performance.
