GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The G-Track features a large, 19mm, ultra thin
diaphragm capsule with a high-quality, on-board
analog-to-digital converter and USB output. Plus,
the G-Track features a built-in audio interface with
headphone output allowing the connection of an
electric guitar, bass, keyboard, drum machine, MP3
player or just about any other signal source. The G-
Track’s input selector switch also provides the choice
between mic/instrument input, so a user can record
electric guitar and vocals in one take, or record left
and right signals from stereo devices with the stereo
line input.
The on-board mixer allows the setting of clean signals
for recording by providing instrument and mic input
level controls, plus a peak LED to help set a hot level
without clipping. In addition, the G-Track employs
a clever monitoring system that allows a variety of
playback options for headphones or monitors with zero
latency. Using the direct monitor switch, it’s easy to
select CPU to hear only the computer, direct mono
to hear the mic and guitar input in both sides of the
phones, or direct stereo for keeping the left and right
image while using the line inputs.
The G-Track comes with everything needed to get
started recording on any computer, including a USB
cable along with guitar and stereo line input cables
for connecting to just about any instrument or audio
device. There’s even a convenient swivel mount and
desk stand included in the package. The G-Track
is perfect for recording music or any acoustic audio
source on a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
The G-Track faithfully reproduces a variety of sound
sources including vocals, acoustic string and wind
instruments, percussion, even overhead cymbals. Its
extended frequency response ensures an accurate
reproduction with linear characteristics from bottom
to top. Whether recording music, vocals or a podcast,
the G-Track is the simplest and most comprehensive
solution for high-quality recording on a Mac or PC.
