The V8.2 / LiveReady Sound Card is a compact, all-in-one audio interface designed for live streaming, podcasting, karaoke, and recording. It usually offers multiple inputs and outputs (e.g. microphone in, instrument/line in, headphone out), onboard DSP for real‑time effects (reverb, echo, pitch shift, presets), and controls for mic level, music level, bass/treble, and monitoring. It often supports connection to phones, tablets, and computers (via USB or OTG), and may include built‑in rechargeable battery for portable use.
