The hybrid analog/digital Lightning console strikes that balance between digital and analog, combining the best in a standalone console with the latest in modern conveniences such as USB and Bluetooth® connectivity.
Available in a 12- or 16-channel tabletop frame, Lightning provides access to analog and mic sources locally, yet gives you access to editing software, Skype or other external sources through USB and Bluetooth.
Lightning is part of the Audioarts Engineering studio line, Wheatstone’s value line that includes headphone amps, talent stations, consoles, and control surfaces.
