Audio interfaces are devices that convert analog sound into digital signals and back, enabling high-quality recording and playback on computers. They typically connect via standards like USB or Thunderbolt, offering better sound quality and lower latency than built-in audio systems. Recent developments also include improved wireless integration, expanding flexibility and portability.
