Motu 112D SOUND CARD THUNDERBOLT

The MOTU 112D is an incredibly flexible device. A digital audio interface, router, format converter, and stand-alone mixer - all in a roadworthy, rackmount 1U chassis, the 112D connects to your host computer through ultra-fast Thunderbolt technology, AVB Ethernet, or class compliant, high-speed USB 2.0 (with USB 3.0 and iOS compatibility).

The 112D rocks 24 channels of AES/EBU digital I/O, 24 channels of ADAT optical digital I/O and 64 channels of MADI - that's a whopping total of 112 simultaneous digital I/O channels! Freely route anything, anywhere - all with near-zero latency. Whether you work your audio magic in the studio or onstage, you owe it to yourself to check out the MOTU 112D.

• 112 simultaneous digital I/O channels

• Prodigious router and converter

• Big-console-style mixing

• Rule your network

You read that right. And all channels can be active simultaneously. Check it out: 64 channels of MADI - the 112D operates as a near-zero latency 64-channel MADI-to-AVB converter with flexible routing and splitting to/from your AVB network.

Cool, but the plot thickens, with 24 channels of AES/EBU and ADAT up to 96kHz: three 8-channel banks (on D-sub) of AES/EBU at all sample rates up to 96kHz. Then there's ADAT optical, with three 8-channel banks at rates up to 48kHz and six banks (24 channels) of ADAT at 2x sample rates.

With the MOTU 112D, you can route any input to any (or multiple) outputs - again, with vanishingly low latency. Freely route all 112 audio channels to and from your Mac or PC over Thunderbolt, or to/from any devices on the AVB network.

So, we see that the 112D is indeed a prodigious router, but it's also a rockin' format converter that lets you convert any format to any other. Compatible formats include AES/EBU, optical, MADI, AVB, and computer audio (Thunderbolt or USB).

MOTU endowed the 112D with robust DSP that offers you big-console-style mixing with 48 channels, 12 stereo busses, and 32-bit floating-point effects processing that includes modeled analog EQ, vintage-style compression, and classic reverbs. You can even use the 112D as a stand-alone mixer and control the whole shebang from its innovative web app running on your tablet, smart phone, or laptop.

Connect a second MOTU AVB interface (such as a 1248, 8M, 16A or another 112D) to the 112D with a simple Ethernet cable. You can add more I/O with the optional MOTU AVB Switch. Build your AVB audio network with multiple switches and sub-millisecond latency, even over lengthy cable runs.

Stream hundreds of channels among the devices and computers on the network. In the studio or onstage, the 112D gives you flexible digital routing/conversion, state-of-the-art performance, and rock-solid reliability. You need it.

UA-20: Audio Capture USB Audio/MIDI Interface Features

The UA-20 is the standard model to Edirol's rapidly expanding UA series of USB Audio Capture devices. The unit can accept input from Mic, Line and even guitar level signals. The audio is converted at 24-bit quality and is transferred to your computer via industry standard low latency WDM, ASIO, MME drivers for compatibility with all major sequencing platforms, the input signal may be also monitored directly in hardware. Outputs include analogue, digital and headphone. The built-in MIDI in and out utilize Edirol's Fast Processing Technology for super accurate MIDI timing with any sequencing software on Mac or PC platforms and can be used with both OMS or FreeMIDI drivers on the Apple Macintosh. The UA-20 requires no external power supply and is ideal for use by mobile laptop or Powerbook users. The unit ships with drivers for Windows XP, 2000, Me, 98, MacOS X, and Mac OS 9.x, 8.5 and may also be used with the native USB audio drivers that are included with both Mac & PC.

• Audio and MIDI in a compact unit.

he U46XL is a powerful multi-purpose 4-in 6-out multi-channel audio interface designed for various recording applications at home or on the road. The U46XL is the successor of to ESI Audio's famous U46DJ interface.

As its predecessor, it provides 2 stereo line inputs, a microphone input with +48V phantom power and a headphone output. A main difference is the improved analog circuitry improving the audio quality as well as the professional microphone preamplifier with XLR input. This makes the U46XL the perfect solution to record signals from dynamic or condenser microphones on the road or in your studio.

The unit also features an instrument input (Hi-Z), typically to connect a guitar directly to it. Two totally separate stereo line input on the backside provide 4 simultaneously usable input channels at one time. There are also 6 independent individual outputs on the backside, perfect for multi-channel playback applications like to provide individual outputs for software synthesizers, to provide independent playback channels for DJ software or to provide surround playback capability via a 5.1 setup. A separate mix output with professional TRS outputs could be used to connect U46XL to professional stereo studio monitors.

A cool feature is the DirectWIRE support in the driver, allowing you to record signals from one application to another internally. U46XL works with this driver based on our EWDM technology under Windows XP and Windows Vista/7, however U46XL is also Mac OS X compatible.

U46XL ships with Cubase LE 4 from Steinberg for Mac and PC to start recording on a professional level right out of the box.
