## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there sound latency with this product? If so, how much latency is there?**
A: Depends on how many plugins your project is using, but it's very low even with complex tracks.

**Q: can i use a goxlr with it ?**
A: Only if you split your mic/headset to 2 separate inputs/outputs as you can only use 1 device for each input/output. Since the goxlr is usb only and not compatible with a toslink cable you cannot connect the two for a single output. I would say if you don't need to mix your audio on the fly and want an upgrade solely for audio input and output quality from a goxlr, then the ae-9 is better for both mic input as it's balanced(usb is unbalanced), and a much higher audio output quality. unfortunately not a balanced headphone/headset plug, but have had no issues like static or feedback from the non balanced output even at max volume. I use my ae-9 with my shure sm7b (with cloudlifter and phantom power on), and my sennheiser hd650s with no issues.

**Q: How long is the ACM cable?**
A: No more than 40 cm.

**Q: does this card support balanced audio?**
A: For the mic input yes, for the audio output no unless using toslink to separate dac
