Make a Pro-quality Impression with Your Tracks!

Make tracks that really make an impression, with TC Electronic's Impact Twin! This premium-quality (24-bit/192kHz) FireWire interface is built to give you maximum recording performance from a very portable package; you get two outstanding preamps, front-panel combo inputs, and an unbelievable combination of analog and digital I/O — 14-in/14-out (four analog, 10 digital), in fact! The Impact Twin comes complete with astounding TC plug-ins and even Ableton Live Lite 8 TC Electronic Edition production software, so you're ready to make killer tracks, right out of the box. Make an impact on your recordings, with the Impact Twin!





You don't need a big, expensive studio console (and all the complicated routing that entails) to get great-sounding tracks on your computer. You do need great preamps and no-compromise AD/DA conversion. You get both with the Impact Twin! Its two premium preamps make any mic you plug in sound fantastic. And, though this ultra-portable box features an incredibly simple front-panel layout, you can use it to access and control several great monitoring and tracking features. Add reverb to your monitor mix, control reverb and delay functions in your DAW, even adjust the mix between your input audio and playback sound — with a 2-knob setup!

The Impact Twin comes bundled with an incredible set of TC plug-ins, including the fantastic M40 Studio Reverb, the fat-sounding ResFilter, and the Assimilator EQ curve assimilation tool — imagine grabbing an EQ curve from any sound you love, and applying it to your track. That's what Assimilator does! Add the pro results you get from the included compressor and the included Ableton Live Lite 8 TC Electronic Edition production software, and you've got a ton of performance from a box that goes anywhere your laptop goes.

From its incredible 24-bit/192kHz conversion quality to its array of analog, MIDI, FireWire, and S/PDIF digital inputs and outputs, the Impact Twin is perfect for desktops, mobile studios, and more. You don't have to settle for "good enough" when you can take top-flight TC quality with you when you want to record. Best of all, you don't have to be a studio-savvy engineer to get amazing results; the Impact Twin is amazingly easy to use!

TC Electronic Impact Twin FireWire Interface Features:
  • Easy to use and loaded with the features you need
  • 24-bit/192kHz conversion quality
  • 14-in/14-out
  • Comes complete with TC plug-ins, easy-access compressor, built-in tuner, and Ableton Live Lite 8 TC Electronic Edition software

Great DAC for a MacMini based music server

by Roger from Florence, AL

Music Background: Hobbyist
I purchased this for the ADC to use in my hifi system with PureVinyl for recording LPs to the MacMini. The unexpected benefit is the superb DAC for music playback with PureMusic. I previously used a... read more [+] Musical Fidelity M1 DAC and a Cambridge Audio DacMagic in my system. Excellent value. close [-]

In a word, it sounds superb!

This a a superb sounding, easy to use interface. I had no problems setting it up and getting it running. No glitches or pops. The preamps do sound full and just generally high-end to me. The conversio... read more [+]n is crystal clear, detailed and warm, and to my ears really strike some very pleasant harmonics. I don't have to use qualifiers like "for the price" or "in it's price range" when I describe it...the Impact Twin from TC Electronic is the bomb!!! And I have spent thousands on gear in the past and am rebuilding my project studio, but I cannot recall all my expensive gear sounding any better than this! close [-]

Best in any Price Range!!

(No Lie!!!) I mainly work with hardware music equipment, Akai mpc, Roland keyboards, etc... and every audio interface I have tried has changed the sound of my equipment either they sucked the life out... read more [+] of the low end, or the highs and mids was over hyped. The interfaces I tried goes as follows: M-audio 2496, E-mu 1616m, Presonus Firebox, Echo Audiofire Pre8, Focusrite Saffire Pro 40, Steinberg MR816 X, and believe it or not the Rme Fireface 800, I returned some and resold some on Ebay, anyway people and sale guys kept telling me the more I spend the better the Ad/Da and mic pres would get, so I was about to say forget it, then I came across this Impact Twin. I ordered it then I said to myself "I had an Rme so this can't sound any better", so I said that I would refuse the order; but I wasn't home when it was delivered. So since I had it, I tried it and it was MAGIC!!!! My keyboards, akia, and sound modules sounds incredible this is that sound I have been looking for and finally my vocals have come to life.

Thanks Tc Electronics for putting the best of the best in this small box and not charging a redicalas price like some other companies. ( Don't Believe the more you spend the better) And Oh' Yeah the drivers are ROCK SOLID. close [-]

IT'S ALL TRUE!

WOW ! I'm not an expert by any stretch; but I've owned two other pro audio interfaces, and neither one of them even came close to this box. Simply put... All the claims on this unit are true! Rare qua... read more [+]lity these days. The pre-amps and presets are clean and well put together. With the EQ and compressor and the front end. Lush reverbs in the monitor chain, as well as with the included plugins. Rugged box design. And expandable. I would have to say that the patch-bay included with the TC near software takes a bit to understand at first. but other than that - this is a very user-friendly unit. True PLUG-N-PLAY, I was up and running after the install with updates in less then an hour after opening the thing.

This unit is EVERYTHING it claims to be. Finally!
It Rocks! I wanna get a t-shirt made with this unit on the front! close [-]
