Two mic preamps featuring IMPACT III™ Technology
With these two pristine mic preamps you never have to worry about recording quality again

Channel Tools
Quickly and easily optimize the tone of your recordings with Impact Twin's built-in channel tools

Hi-Z Guitar optimized inputs
Ensure the tone of your guitars is beautifully preserved with two front-panel mounted Hi-Z guitar-optimized inputs

Direct Monitor Reverb
A simple way to add reverb at the monitor stage so the singer can enjoy quality reverb through their headphones

iCheck
The iCheck (Integrity Check) feature provides a shortcut for revealing artifacts of data reduction - essential when encoding mp3 or AAC files

Included plug-ins (M40 reverb, ResFilter, Assimilator)
Impact Twin comes bundled with pristine TC effects processing. The M40 Studio Reverb is based on an algorithm from our acclaimed Reverb 4000 processor. The multi-purpose ResFilter provides ultra-fat filter sound. The Assimilator EQ curve assimilation tool lets you quickly grab an EQ curve from any sound and apply it to your own

Quick compressor access and feedback
Access the crucial compressor setting directly from Impact Twin's front panel - the light ring instantly shows gain reduction

JetPLL jitter reduction
Everybody talks about analog sound quality, but what about digital? With built-in JetPLL jitter reduction technology, Impact Twin ensures superb audio quality all the way through the device

192/24 HD Conversion
Impact Twin's HD Convertors let you select your conversion rate - all the way from 44.1kHz right up to High Definition 192kHz for the ultimate in pristine audio capture, maintaining the essential transients of your sound.

Ableton Live Lite 8 TC Electronic Edition included
Bundled with Impact Twin is Ableton Live Lite 8 TC Electronic Edition

14/14 I/O (4 analog, 10 digital I/O)
14 ins and 14 outs give the flexibility to record and monitor just about any device you can think of

EQ-Curve Assimilation and Morphing
Learn the sound of your favorite mix and apply it to your own. This in short is what Assimilator does. Equalization is one of the more difficult tasks in recording, mixing and mastering especially when trying to match a certain sound. With Assimilator this process will be fast and instantaneous, 3 steps and you're done! The UI provides two complete sets of curves and a morph page. On the morph page, you can morph between two complete curve sets by simply moving one fader.

The applications of this processor range from film sound to mastering and of course creative use!

The technology employed is based on Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT); 3 different resolutions allow you to adjust it to your needs in the highest one the process is so heavy it requires a full DSP! This would easily max out a modern CPU, just for one instance.
