Enhanced I/O

Even though the CD-2i is designed as a do-it-all device, it provides a variety of inputs and outputs to interface with other gear if desired. Connect an external microphone to its XLR input (complete with phantom power); connect an instrument to the 1/4-inch jack or a line-level audio device such as a record player to the stereo RCA inputs with phono equalizer. Stereo line outputs (RCA phono type) and a headphone output are provided as well.

Music-practice partner

Improve your musical skills with the CD-2i’s onboard practice features. You can repeat sections of audio for repetitive study. You can change key and tempo e.g. decrease the tempo without changing pitch, to learn tricky sections of songs. The onboard metronome also makes the CD-2i ideal for music teachers and students. Record lessons and performances, and analyze your performance with clean, clear detail.

Easy guide

Even though the CD-2i is jam-packed with features, it’s simple to use. The innovative easy guide feature leads you step by step through each operation, with instructions available in six languages (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Japanese). By using the rehearsal function, the CD-2i can even automatically adjust the input level to get the best sound without the hassle of trial and error.corder Part
