With dimensions of approximately 13 x 7 x 5 cm, the AMS-44 is very compact for a 4x4 audio interface; and with a weight of well under 200 grams, it is also easy to transport. The side feet can also be used as loops to attach the interface to a belt during mobile recordings; and side elevations on the top protect the flat controllers.
Flexible power supply
Another practical feature for use outside the studio is its optional battery operation. This also avoids the problem of insufficient power supply via USB when connecting to mobile devices such as smartphones
