CEntrance DACport Pro
DACport Pro gives your laptop a pair of XLR outputs, so you can connect it to any professional sound equipment. Most laptops have noisy audio jacks and cannot deliver high-quality audio. DACport Pro solves that problem. Designed by audio pros, it features top-grade audiophile components. This results in much lower noise and distortion, better resolution, and clarity. And since it fits in the palm of your hand, it lets you achieve consistent sound in any venue.
Balanced XLR Outputs
Your laptop is great for music playback, but it doesn’t play well with pro audio gear. DACport Pro fixes that, giving you a perfect bridge between USB and XLR cables. Its built-in Mic/Line switches give you the flexibility to connect to any house sound system. Stream high-resolution music into any studio, club, or live venue with ease!
Calibrated VU meters
Know the exact levels sent to your sound system. DACport Pro features calibrated LED VU meters, so you can monitor signal levels even without your headphones. LED meter brightness is gradually adjustable from pitch-black to daylight visible. Set it to match the ambient light of the venue and enjoy a comfortable work environment.
Full Control Over Outputs
DACport Pro has a unique FIX/VAR switch, which converts it from a fixed-output DAC to a true Monitor Controller. In the FIX position, the volume knob only adjusts the headphone output. In the VAR position, it also adjusts the XLR outputs, letting you use the product as a mastering-grade DAC and desktop volume control for your studio monitors.
Attachment Flexibility
DACport Pro features a standard 1/4 inch-20 thread, giving the product a lot of versatility, especially during live setup. Use it as a desktop Monitor Controller or mount it to a flexible tripod and position the volume knob within reach. Use a clamp (shown) to attach to a keyboard or mic stand, and set it up precisely where you want it. Your convenience is paramount.
Audiophile Amplifier
DACport Pro’s Headphone Amplifier is borrowed from CEntrance's acclaimed Hi-Fi products. It supports a variety of headphones and features audiophile sound quality. You may just find yourself using it to listen to tunes between gigs. The volume knob feels solid and comfortable, which helps the product double up as a Monitor Controller in a home studio.
