AMS-22 | 2-In, 2-Out
Perfect for mobile recording or streaming, the AMS-22 includes an XLR/TRS combo input, plus a stereo line in. It also includes a headphone output and 2 TRS outputs for external monitors.
QUICK CONTROL
With onboard hardware switches, the AMS-22 is designed to simplify common streaming challenges without the need for additional software.
