Autosetup dials in your optimal settings.
With CONNECT 2, you don’t need an audio engineering degree to sound great. Run Autosetup and quickly find your perfect settings with the help of the integrated Clipguard, Denoiser, Compressor, and three iconic preamp sounds.

Easy-to-use tools for perfect sound.

Clipguard
Clipguard lets you perform without clipping. A single click is enough, and your signal is safe from clipping even when things get loud. Fantastic for streaming, podcasting, and recording alike.

Autogain
Autogain is the smart way of gain staging. It sets your input levels for your microphone and instrument automatically, saves time, and ensures optimal recording quality every time your inspiration strikes.

Denoiser
Denoiser uses audio expansion for a clearer signal. It gets background noise and humming out of the way while retaining your natural sound. Ideal for easy communication or recording.

Compressor
Compressor for professional sound quality and a uniform sound image. With CONNECT 2, a single click is enough to get a polished sound, just like your favourite record.

Three iconic preamp sounds for the right vibe.

• Clean gives you unparalleled clarity and fidelity. Perfect if you want to process your signal further.

• Warm provides a vintage vibe and helps to smoothen the high-end of overly bright microphones.

• Vivid brings even your dullest-sounding microphone alive and adds articulation by boosting the right frequencies.

Direct mute control for all channels.
Mute all channels separately on hardware- and software, or if things are getting out of control, hold MUTE to globally mute everything until you reset your channels the way you want.

Custom button for workflow shortcuts.
The custom button lets you assign one of many workflow shortcuts. You can switch from a recording to a monitoring scenario, bring up the CONTROL CENTER with a single push, and more.

The best performance for any microphone.
Whether you choose dynamic or condenser, CONNECT 2 will yield the best results with its high-end microphone preamp. It offers up to 72 dB gain, so you’ll never need an additional signal booster and an incredible dynamic range of 118 dB(A).
