The studio monitor and headphone outputs have independent level controls for maximum flexibility.

Professional Tools No other ultra-compact desktop interface delivers as many professional features as the Onyx Blackjack. Oh yeah, Blackjack also allows you to track with zero latency in either mono or stereo, so you can get the right vibe when recording stereo signals like acoustic guitars and keyboards. Not only that, it also means you can adjust your buffer settings to maximize your computers processing ability. This means you can track while listening to the direct analog source with zero routing. Blackjack puts this issue to rest once and for all, featuring a true analog monitoring path directly from the preamps to your studio monitors and headphones. It’s a pesky computer-induced delay that can quickly kill the vibe of any recording session. If you have recorded with digital gear, chances are you feel the same way. Zero-Latency Recording Latency is evil and must be punished.

Our preamp circuitry is aligned precisely with the onboard analog-to-digital conversion to always provide you with the most headroom and the lowest noise and distortion possible, a real sonic benefit that is often ignored on smaller interfaces. The Onyx Blackjack uses Cirrus Logic® converters offering 114dB dynamic range (A-weighted) – a specification other companies sometimes charge thousands of dollars to achieve. High-Quality AD/DA Conversion Quality doesn’t stop at the boutique Onyx preamps.
