The Audient Sono is a recording interface designed for guitarists combining a 12AX7-powered preamp, power amp and cab simulation by Two Notes, 3-band EQ, and a USB audio interface.

The Audient Sono’s preamp section uses a real 12AX7 tube to power the guitar preamp, offering a wide range of tones from warm cleans to high-gain sizzle, helping you shape your guitar’s sound. After the preamp tone, you can use Two Notes power amp and cab modeling software to recreate the sound of a miked cabinet in a world-class studio. Extremely configurable, the Sono gives you a choice between some of the best cabinets from Marshall, Fender, Ampeg, and many more, as well as a choice of microphones, placement, and room type.

Sono can also be used as a high-quality reamping box thanks to its front reamping output, allowing you to change your sound with your favorite amplifier and effects chain.

Furthermore, the Audient Sono works as a high-quality audio interface with stunning Class A mic preamps, similar to those found on Audient large-format consoles. It also includes 8-channel ADAT inputs to use with external mic preamps. A monitor mix allows you to blend between the input signal and your DAW playback to record and monitor with near-zero latency. Finally, its AD/DA stage delivers outstanding conversion for an ultra-clean sound with 114dB of dynamic range.
