Simplicity at its Best
With a single locking USB-C connection, COBALT delivers effortless compatibility with Apple Macs – no adapters, no hassle. While the initial release supports macOS only due to ongoing stability work with ASIO drivers, full cross-platform functionality remains a priority. With up to 192 bidirectional channels at 48 or 96 kHz via Dual Redundant HyperMAC In/Outs, COBALT ensures ultra-reliable performance in even the most demanding live environments. Not to mention, thanks to the onboard LED status indicators, signal integrity is always visible at a glance and easy to monitor – giving engineers the confidence to focus on what matters most: the mix.
