5. Instruccions de funcionament

Independent Mixer Control

The E1x2 OTG features a four-channel input mixer for precise audio management. It includes 8 DAW channels and 6 LoopBack channels for recording, mixing, and playback.

Direct Condenser Microphone Connection

The 48V phantom power switch ensures compatibility with both condenser and dynamic microphones.

High-Resolution Production Experience

Equipped with an XMOS chip, the E1x2 OTG supports high-specification audio recording and playback from 44.1KHz/24bit to 192KHz/24bit, compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and other operating systems.

Ultra-linear Microphone Preamp Mòdul

The self-developed ultra-linear microphone preamp module boasts an EIN as low as -130.5dBu, ensuring extremely low background noise and precise audio signal transmission.

Low Noise Reference Voltage Mòdul

TOPPING's unique LNRD module provides a reference-level stable power supply for the AD/DA chip, ensuring audio purity. Input DNR (ADC) is 118dB, Output DNR (DAC) is 115dB, and ADC THD+N is <0.0003%.

Control de volum analògic

The volume control knob for Line Out and the headphone amplifier uses an analog potentiometer, allowing for accurate volume control. Line Out analogue dynamic range is 127dB, and Phone Out analogue dynamic range is 132dB.

Three Type-C Ports

The E1x2 OTG uses Type-C for both transmission and power supply. It is recommended to connect the auxiliary power connector if the E1x2 OTG is frequently fixed to a desktop or if 48V phantom power is required to avoid signal interference. External power supply is recommended when using with a phone, and a specific cable is recommended for OTG livestreaming.

Powerful Headphone Ampmés viu

With only 1uVrms of noise floor and 1 ohm output impedance, the NFCA-LE headphone amplifier module ensures distortion-free and noise-free monitoring for high-sensitivity headphones. The E1x2 OTG offers two gain adjustments (up to +17dBu) and a powerful output of 580mW x 2@RL=32 Ohm, capable of driving professional headphones up to 600 ohms.

Zero-latency Hardware Monitoring System

The zero-latency design allows real-time monitoring of audio effects during recording or mixing.

Software Control (TOPPING Professional Control Center)

The E1x2 OTG can be controlled via the TOPPING Professional Control Center software. For detailed instructions on using the software, please refer to the dedicated guide available for download from the official TOPPING website. (Refer to the PDF manual for the link).

DAW Audio Settings

The E1x2 OTG is compatible with any DAWs that support Core Audio on Mac or ASIO on Windows. Ensure that E1x2 OTG is selected as the ASIO driver (Windows) or Core Audio driver (Mac) in your DAW's preferences/playback settings. Consult your DAW's user guide if you are unsure where to find these options.
