RCA Red 24-bit/192kHz USB audio adapter 48V phantom power

Product and audience

The RCA Red USB audio adapter is a 24-bit/192kHz interface with two XLR/Line combo inputs and 48V phantom power. It is intended for podcasters, streamers and vocal producers who record directly to a Mac or PC. Builders who need more than two simultaneous inputs or standalone operation without a computer should consider a larger mixer or recorder.

Build quality and daily connections

The red metal chassis measures 3.85 L x 6.86 W x 1.77 H inches and weighs .762 kilograms. Male TSR/XLR/TS connectors provide two combo inputs for microphones or instruments, two balanced TRS main outputs for monitors and a headphone jack with independent level control for zero-latency monitoring. The HI-Z switch accommodates high-impedance guitars while the phantom indicator shows when 48V is active.

Compatibility checklist

Verify that your computer has an available USB port and supports class-compliant audio at 24-bit/192kHz. Confirm your condenser microphones require 48V phantom power and that your monitor speakers accept balanced TRS connections. Ensure your recording software can address two input channels and two output channels simultaneously.
