SPL Crimson Model 1250
High Performance USB Interface & Monitor Controller
Preamplifying, interfacing and monitoring via USB, S/P-DIF, Analog XLR, RCA, 1/4" and mini Jacks
SPL Crimson combines a USB interface with high-quality preamps and a separate, fully-featured monitor controller. You can play and play back, record and convert, control and listen with one single device.
So all you essentially need for a truly professional recording setup is the Crimson and a DAW.

Professional sound at an incredible price.
With or without DAW. Crimson is designed to operate with your Digital Audio Workstation. But you can also do a lot with it as a stand-alone device: plug in an instrument and play. Connect a microphone and sing along. Mix your own monitor signal with playback or guide tracks from any source – including your smartphone. What you are playing is not bad? Turn on the DAW and record it.

A new concept with phenomenal value
At SPL we design audio equipment in all price ranges – except cheap gear. Therefore each SPL unit provides professional quality. The Crimson leaps forward and sets a new sound quality benchmark in its price range: We have re-designed proven circuitries and created a new, fully integrated design. Together with new production methods we are able to break through usual price limits.

So with the Crimson interface and controller you have a boutique standard recording and monitoring device at a fraction of the price we used to know from traditional engineering and manufacturing.
