The Focusrite VRM Box gives you Focusrite's Virtual Reference Monitoring (VRM) technology in a robust, palm-sized audio interface.

VRM tackles the main problem of headphone mixing by giving you multiple perspectives on your mix, as if you were listening through speakers. Using any pair of monitoring headphones, VRM lets you choose your mixing environment from a virtual living room, bedroom studio, or professional studio. You then simply choose from a list of 10 emulations of industry-standard studio monitors and speakers.

VRM Box uses standard headphones to reproduce the direct sound, together with software running on your computer that is used to simulate specific monitoring scenarios. VRM's room models are mathematical models that provide greater flexibility in the possible combinations of loudspeakers. The loudspeaker simulations are created using convolutions of impulse responses measured using the original loudspeakers. The accuracy of these simulations in different environments is taken care of by the impulse responses themselves and the way they are calculated and manipulated.

VRM Box delivers superb audio quality, and a dynamic range of 108dB, to deliver precise sound with extremely low distortion. It functions as a high-quality 24- bit/48kHz USB audio playback interface powered by your computer's USB port. VRM Box also features a digital (S/PDIF) input, which supports sample rates up to 192kHz. This allows you to run it in conjunction with your Pro Tools HD system, or any other interface with an S/PDIF output.
