The Sound of Your Studio, Anywhere!

Mixing in a perfect environment simply isn't an option for everyone. Even if you have excellent, high-quality studio monitors, chances are you don't have the liberty to crank up your latest mix at 3:00 AM, just when you've put the final touches on that last track. That's what's so cool about the Focusrite VRM Box. Designed to integrate with your favorite DAW, the VRM Box uses Focusrite's award-winning VRM (virtual reference monitoring) to simulate a traditional monitoring environment, right in your headphones. Now, instead of the tightly focused and exaggerated stereo separation you get from headphones, you get the sound of a traditional listening environment, complete with pro-quality studio monitors.

Because the VRM Box can act either as the primary output of your DAW or inline with the S/PDIF output of your audio interface, you can use it with any DAW, even Pro Tools HD. The VRM Box hardware itself boasts a 108dB dynamic range, far outstripping conventional computer headphone outputs. What's more, the VRM Box supports up to 24-bit/192kHz digital audio over S/PDIF, so it's compatible with even the most demanding applications. Although monitoring with real studio monitors will always be ideal, a Focusrite VRM Box will make your next best option a whole lot better.

If you're like a lot of the recording engineers here at Sweetwater, then you probably grew up with stories of the legendary Focusrite Forte console and its ISA preamps. Our relationship with Focusrite is extremely tight, and we regularly enjoy everything from the inside scoop on new gear to fish and chips when they stop by Sweetwater. While Focusrite still produces the classic analog preamps, EQs, and compressors we love, our Sales Engineers are just as excited to introduce our customers to their remarkable RedNet network audio platform, and we have worked with Focusrite to outfit studios, churches, venues, and schools with this awesome technology in action. From everyday audio interfaces to full system designs, if you want Focusrite gear, Sweetwater has you covered.
