Yellowtec YT4221 PUC2 Mic LEA Real-Time Audio Processing

YellowTec PUC2 Mic LEA

PUC2 Mic LEA integrates the real-time LEA DSP Engine from Yellowtec's iXm Recording Microphone into a class-leading USB audio interface. The LEA technology delivers perfectly leveled recordings without any time-consuming post-processing. Featuring one of the highest-quality mic preamps available, PUC2 Mic LEA ensures pristine audio quality with zero latency for your microphone signal. Use it to stream two channels of mic recordings via USB or use it as a standalone A/D converter with its preamp and LEA Engine.

Journalists, commentators or radio hosts know how many voice recordings suffer from bad leveling and hence from poor speech recognition and miserable sound. With LEA this becomes a thing of the past. Whisper or cry, PUC2 Mic LEA offers perfect audio levels - no matter the surroundings or ambient noise. It provides you with real-time audio processing and captures perfect levels without clipping. In comparison to standard AGCs and limiters, the LEA Engine knows to excel by not creating artifacts or common pumping noises. Even with blanking levels or loud ambient noise, the LEA Engine works perfectly and levels smoothly.

Depending on your preference, you can achieve perfect levels without the need to interact by using the installed LEA presets or benefit from a wide range of controls to set individual preferences. The PUC2 Mic LEA USB Audio Interface comes with a software for PC and Mac to do so.
