Manufacturer's ID: RUBIX44
What we say:
At A Glance:
Roland’s RUBIX44 is a fantastic, portable audio interface with some great features. It has 4 high quality preamps, four balanced monitor outputs with a convenient Mono/Stereo button, and two compressor/limiters. It also features an extremely sturdy construction. Whether it’s for studio use or for live performances, the RUBIX44 is a great piece of equipment that you can rely on.
Features We Love:
Studio Quality Sound
The RUBIX44 provides studio-grade recording quality. The preamps are quiet and clean sounding, and the converters support audio resolutions up to 192kHz. The built-in compressor/limiter is a great feature, allowing you to tame peaking dynamics and balance signals on the way in. There is also a ground lift switch on board, eliminating any unwanted ground noise that may occur in certain venues. This means you can record professional level audio anywhere you go.
Robust Build Quality
The RUBIX44 features a metal construction, meaning it can survive bumps and scrapes with ease. The controls also feel very sturdy and will hold up even with constant use. Audio Interfaces are more and more making their way into live performances, and knowing that your equipment is reliable is key. Thankfully, the RUBIX44 can withstand the rigors of the road.
Control and Connectivity
On the RUBIX44 you will find four XLR / Jack Combo inputs, 5-Pin MIDI IN/OUT and four Monitor outputs. There are also two independent mono buttons for outputs 1/2 and 3/4 that let you monitor either pair of outputs in Mono. While stereo playback systems are much more common these days, certain systems still run in Mono. This could be certain club PA systems, mobile phones or car speaker systems. Ensuring your mix translates well in both Mono and Stereo is crucial, and it’s very easy to listen to both, thanks to this feature.
