Motu 24 I/O Expansion Rack For Pci-424

Gear 4 Music Product Information
Please note that this unit does not come with the PCI-424 card required to use with a computer system and is an expansion option only.The MOTU Audio 24I/O interface fulfills the promise of host-based hard disk recording to record edit mix process and master multitrack recording projects entirely inside the computer. It provides 24 high quality 24-bit/96k Hz analog inputs and outputs in a cost effective single rack space package allowing you to connect and record from 24 simultaneous analog sources.The 24I/O can be purchased as an expander for an existing PCI-424-based MOTU Audio System or as a core system which includes the PCI-424 card and Audiodesk workstation software.Metering The 24I/Os front panel is essentially a dedicated meter bridge for your hard disk recording system. Audio activity for every input and output is represented by its own five-segment LED bar graph.Front Panel Power Switch Useful in the unlikely event you wish to turn off your 24I/O. An interesting fact about MOTU Audio interfaces is that they are hot swappable. This means you can power off plug-in add and remove interfaces without turning your computer off or restarting. In fact if you already have a 2408mk3 or other PCI-424 system adding a 24I/O is as easy as plugging in an Audio Wire cable.24-bit analog TRS Input and Output The 24 analog inputs and outputs are professional-grade TRS (balanced/unbalanced) connectors operating at either -10 d B or +4 d B. The input level can be switched via software in banks of eight inputs. In addition Cumix DSP provides continuously variable input trim with up to 12 d B boost per channel.Word Clock I/OThe 24I/O audio interface provides industry standard word clock sync on a single BNC connector that can be programmed for input or output via software. When operating as a word clock input the word connector allows the 24I/O to synchronize smoothly with todays digital audio studio. When operating as a word clock output the word connector can be used as a master clock to drive other digital devices in your studio such as a digital mixer.Audio Wire The 24I/O uses the second generation Audio Wire we introduced with the 2408mk3. It is a high-bandwidth digital audio format capable of carrying up to 24 channels of 96 k Hz digital audio in and out of the computer at the same time. Audio Wire can readily handle the 24 simultaneous inputs and outputs of the 24I/O audio interface.Power Supply Like all MOTU hardware products the 24I/O comes with an internal power supply and standard detachable IEC power cable. No wall warts or line lumps.The 24I/O uses the same PCI-424 card that comes with the 2408mk3. You can connect up to four audio interfaces to a PCI-424 in any combination to create a system that fits your needs.An ideal companion for the 2408The 24I/O adds 24 channels of high quality analog input and output to your MOTU Audio system. With that much I/O available you can keep the outputs of your synthesizers and outboard effects patched into your computer at all times. It is a snap to route the output via the PCI-424 Console Software.The PCI-424 card features a powerful DSP chip dedicated to creating a custom tailored monitor mix of up to 96 channels of 96k Hz audio. Because the mixing takes place on the card itself instead of making the round trip from the PCI bus to the host processor the system provides the same near-zero latency performance as todays latest digital mixers. Cue Mix DSP completely eliminates the buffer latency associated with monitoring on host-based systems. Because the DSP is mixing for you your computers CPU is free for other tasks.Cuemix DSP is the most flexible Cuemix ever allowing you to mix multiple channels into multiple mix busses or directly assigned outputs. Manage your monitor mix with the intuitive Cuemix Console software included with the 24I/O.MOTU 24I/O FAQHow do I use effects such as EQ or reverb on live inputs Im monitoring with Cue Mix DSP?Cue Mix DSP itself does not provide effects processing so you have several choices: 1) bus the live signal to your host audio software and apply a plug-in effect or 2) bus the live signal to a hardware reverb or other effects unit that is connected to your 24I/O as a send/return loop. With Cue Mix DSP this loop has the same near-zero latency performance as one of todays latest digital mixers. With plug-in effects such as reverb you can actually combine a little of the dry Cue Mix signal together with the processed wet signal.Can I use my original 2408 with the PCI-424 card included with the 24I/O core system?Yes older legacy MOTU Audiowire interfaces (2408 2408mk II 1224 308 24i 1296) are fully compatible with the PCI-424. Even the new Cuemix DSP and synchronization features can be used with legacy interfaces.Can I buy a 24I/O expander to use with my PCI-324 card?No the 24I/O only works with the latest generation design of the PCI-424.Can I still use my MTP-AV or Digital Timepiece with the PCI-424?Yes use the sample accurate ADAT... Provides 24 inputs and outputs and 24 bit 96 k Hz.

Zoom R24 Digital Recorder & Usb Audio Interface

£399.00

Zoom R24 Digital Recorder & Usb Audio Interface

Gear 4 Music Product Information
Audio Interface supports 8 inputs and 2 outputs - The R24 can function as an audio interface enabling direct input of sounds to a computer. Support for 24-bit/96-k Hz encoding ensures high-quality sound. Eight input channels and two output channels can be used simultaneously. The internal DSP effects of the R24 can also be used when the sampling rate is 44.1 k Hz. A dedicated knob lets you adjust the balance between the DAW playback sound and the direct input sound when monitoring.Control surface functions for most DAW software The R24 can be used as a control surface for DAW transport functions (play record stop) and mixing operations. You can easily move multiple faders at the same time which is very difficult to do with a mouse! You can also assign the five function keys to various DAW software commands. Cubase Logic Sonar and other major DAW applications are supported in Mackie Control emulation mode.24-voice sampler with 8 pads and 3 banks The built-in sampler functions allow you to use audio files on any tracks as loops. Play the pads in real-time and create performance for an entire track by combining loops. Use the display of the audio waveform for visual confirmation when setting loop intervals. Use time-stretching to change the tempo of a file without changing its pitch and trim unneeded parts of loops. The sampler and recorder can also be used together seamlessly allowing you to also record instrument performances while playing back loops on other tracks.Create your own beats with the powerful rhythm machine The R24 has a powerful drum machine with 10 types of drum kits that use linear PCM samples. With the touch sensitive drum pads you can program your own original beats and save up to 511 of them. The rhythm patterns that you create can be used just like the audio loops. You can trigger patterns with the pads and use them in the unit?s sequencer to arrange songs. The 472 preset patterns include intros fills endings and other phrase variations.Synchronized recording of 16 tracks The R24 synchronization system generates a clock signal based on USB data transmission timing.(1) Two units can be synchronized by connecting another R24 or an R16 by USB and making one unit the USB host device and the other the USB slave device. Used together they form a recording system with up to 16 tracks of simultaneous recording and 48 tracks of simultaneous playback.(2)(1) : Synchronization precision is accurate to about 1 to 2 msec.(2) : When using an R16 as the second unit 16 tracks of simultaneous recording and 40 tracks of simultaneous playback are possible.Guitar amp modeling and other DSP effects total 150 types The DSP effects which include 150 types and 390 patches can be used for recording mixing and mastering. Three types of effects - the insert effect and the two send-return effects - can all be used at the same time. You can achieve a powerful amp sound just by connecting a guitar or bass directly to the R24 and using one of the 18 types of guitar amp models or 6 types of bass amp models that have been brought straight from our best-selling G2nu effects unit. You can also use the 8x COMP EQ effect which lets you apply compression and EQ to eight channels simultaneously.Tuner and metronome functions The R24s built-in tuner is great for quickly tuning instruments and checking the pitches of vocals. The metronome can provide a click track for a drummer during recording and is also useful during instrument practice. The metronome sound can also be sent just to the headphones. During a live performance this allows you to play along with a backing track previously recorded on the R24.Locate functions make editing easier Set up to 100 markers and directly move to them whenever you want. Other convenient functions for editing include A-B repeat playback of a designated interval and auto punch-in and punch-out.Versatile inputs for guitars mics and line sources The R24 can handle a variety of input sources. The unit is equipped with 8 input jacks that accept both XLR and standard phone connectors including 6 that can supply phantom power allowing the use of multiple condenser microphones for serious multi-mic recording. Use the channel with a Hi-Z switch to input electric guitars basses and other high impedance instruments.Supports SDHC cards with capacities of up to 32GBThe R24 utilizes compact and readily-available SD and SDHC memory cards as recording media. Unlike tape and disc recorders this unit has no motor making it more resistant to external vibrations and eliminating concerns about mechanical noise.USB 2.0 Hi-Speed for fast file transfer The R24 USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port allows WAV files recorded by the R24 to be transferred to a computer quickly and easily. Computer-based tasks such as editing audio with DAW software creating original CDs and importing WAV files can be integrated into your music production.USB host port for connecting USB memory USB flash drive or large-capacity external hard disk... Simultaneous recording of 8 tracks and playback of 24 tracks - The R24s simultaneous 8-track recording capability allows you to capture live band performances record drum kits with multiple mics and make other recordings of multiple sound sources. Play back up to 24 tracks of 16/24-bit and 44.1/48-k Hz sampling rate WAV format files. You can use the UNDO/REDO functions to cancel the last recording operation and restore the previous state. When you complete a song you can mix it down and save a stereo mix for each project in the R24.

Presonus Firestudio 2626 Firewire Interface

Presonus Firestudio 2626 Firewire Interface

Gear 4 Music Product Information
The Fire Studio is a 26x26 24-bit/96k professional recording system combining eight XMAX Class A Pre Sonus microphone preamplifiers up to sixteen channels of optical ADAT input / output S/PDIF and MIDI input / output along with the Control Console - a 36x36x18 zero latency mixer/router. The Fire Studio also includes the Pro Pak Complete a bundle of over 2GB of award-winning recording and production software virtual instruments plug-ins drum loops and samples to get you started making music immediately.Click here to watch a video overview of the Presonus Fire Studio Firewire Interface##youtube 10018##Superior Analog Circuitry - XMAX Class A Preamplifiers The Fire Studio starts with eight custom-designed high-voltage discrete XMAX Class A microphone preamplifiers. Many other companies offering recording interfaces add the cheapest possible microphone preamplifier as an afterthought to the interface. Pre Sonus knows that the preamplifier is a key component in the sonic quality of a recording. The job of a microphone preamplifier is to boost microphone level signals to line level so that the signal can be converted from analog to digital. This mic to line boost is generally a preamplification of over 400 times the voltage of the original mic level signal. This preamplification stage is one of the most important stages that the signal will go through before converted to digital and is why a high performance preamplifier is important to achieving great results. A cheap "off the shelf op-amp" type mic preamp that is found in most interfaces translates into thin noisy and harsh results.All XMAX preamplifiers are built with the same three elements High Voltage - The XMAX preamplifier runs on power rails of 30V. Most off the shelf op amp based designs run on power rails of 10V to 18V. Higher voltage power rails deliver more headroom deeper lows smoother highs and an overall fuller sound.Discrete - No op amps. Only transistors resistors and capacitors. Op amps add noise coloration and harshness to a signal. Discrete designs deliver ultra low noise and transparency.Class A - When a circuit is running in Class A mode the circuit is always in an "on" state operating at its optimal voltage requirements. Class A mode has zero crossover distortion and delivers purer clearer and more musical sonics than class A/B designs which are found in most op-amp circuits.The net result of the XMAX preamp design is high headroom low noise wide dynamic range and wide frequency range and most importantly musicality and transparency - smooth highs solid deep lows and everything in between.New Advanced Platform Technology - DICE II and Jet PLL The Fire Studio is loaded with the new ultra powerful DICE II Fire Wire chipset delivering 26 channels of simultaneous inputs and outputs at professional-quality 24-bit. The strength of the DICE II chip lies with its ability to easilly handle high channel count at high bit-rate while minimizing latency and load on your computer.Features High-speed Fire Wire (IEEE 1394) audio interface24-bit resolution up to 96K sampling rate26 simultaneous inputs and outputs8 Class A microphone preamps w/ trim control8 analog line Inputs 2 Instrument Inputs16 channels of optical ADAT I/O (8 ch. via 96k dual SMUX)S/PDIF I/O MIDI I/ODICE II Chipset - ultra efficient data transfer Jet PLL jitter elimination technology Zero latency DSP full-matrix mixer/router Pre Sonus Pro Pak Complete Audio Software Suite with Cubase LE Reason Adapted Amplitube LE BFD Lite Drumagog LE and more Not recommended for use with NEC RICOH and AGERE chipsets.

The job of a microphone preamplifier is to boost microphone level signals to line level so that the signal can be converted from analog to digital. This mic to line boost is generally a preamplification of over 400 times the voltage of the original mic level signal. This preamplification stage is one of the most important stages that the signal will go through before converted to digital and is why a high performance preamplifier is important to achieving great results. A cheap "off the shelf op-amp" type mic preamp that is found in most interfaces translates into thin noisy and harsh results.New Advanced Platform Technology - DICE II and Jet PLL The Fire Studio Project is loaded with the new ultra powerful DICE II Fire Wire chipset delivering 10 channels of simultaneous inputs and outputs at professional-quality 24-bit. The strength of the DICE II chip lies with its ability to easilly handle high channel count at high bit-rate while minimizing latency and load on your computer.The synchronization of the Fire Studio Project is handled by patented Jet PLLTM jitter reduction technology. Jet PLLTM incorporates noise shaping to virtually remove all audio band jitter. Jet PLLTM ensures the highest converter performance possible resulting in better stereo separation and clearer more transparent audio. Jet PLLTM delivers ultra-fast locking to any digital format through a wide range of frequencies and is extremely robust and tolerant of wide variations in clock frequencies. Jet PLLTM ensures near perfect clock performance when networking audio devices thus creating the most stable and robust synchronization to the computer and all devices synchronization with the Fire Studio Project.Computer System Requirements Windows OS Microsoft Windows XP SP1Computer Windows compatible computer with Fire Wire port.CPU/Clock Pentium Celeron with 1.6Ghz or higher Memory(RAM) 512 MB (1 GB recommended)Macintosh OS Mac OS X 10.4.x or later Computer Apple Macintosh series with on-board Fire Wire port.CPU/Clock Power PC G4/Dual 1 GHZ or faster all Intel-based Mac models.Memory(RAM) 512 MB (1 GB recommended)Note that the speed of your processor amount of RAM and size and speed of your hard drive will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system.Not recommended for use with NEC RICOH and AGERE chipsets.

Gear 4 Music Product Information
USB audio flexibility Getting audio to and from a computer easily is now a common requirement for live sound and music production. The way this has been implemented on ZED is super-flexible and super-easy! No longer do you need to fiddle around the back of your PC to get to the soundcard inputs only to find that the levels are all wrong and noisy. Just plug in a USB lead to your ZED select the USB routing on the mixer and the device on your computer and thats it! CD quality audio to and from your PC or Mac. Switches and connection through jack socket terminals provide different send/return configurations:-Send options:                - Main Mix Left + Right (Post master Level)                - Aux + FX bus (Aux is a pre-fade send FX is a post-fade send)                - Record Bus Left + Right (Separate stereo bus to Main Mix)Return Options:                - To Playback input (through jack socket break contacts)                - To Stereo 2 channel (through jack socket break contacts)Musi QZED-24 features a responsive 3-band swept mid frequency EQ design which utilises Musi Q - with optimised slope (or Q factor) for equalising individual instruments.Duo Pre Based on the proven pre-amps from the hugely successful PA series ZED-24 has Duo Pre pre-amps which use a two stage design with carefully controlled amounts of gain in each stage. When amplifying the signal from the XLR input the gain range is huge - 69d B of range to be exact - and is very evenly distributed around the gain control meaning better control of signal level. Most of the gain comes from the first stage so unwanted noise is kept to a minimum. Line level signals are simply plugged into the second stage of the pre-amp by using the line input jack socket which has the great advantage of less noise when using the line input and also matching to ahigher input impedance.Features/Specifications:16 mono channels Neutrik mic XLRNeutrik 1/4 inch jacks Channel insert Super wide gain ?Duo Pre? mic line input3 band EQ with Musi Q4 auxes Illuminated mute Sound image pan Illuminated PFL & peak warning indicator ALPS 100mm faders4 stereo channels with 2-band EQ and inputs for extra sources Stereo returns & playback All inputs with level control12 bar meters Mono/stereo function on auxes 1&2Monitor output section Alt stereo output source Configurable USB stereo audio in/out Cakewalk SONAR LE bundled with mixer SONAR LE - Provided Free!Weve included Cakewalk SONAR LE with ZED-24 so you can immediately start to use it to create your own music - just add a PC and it couldn?t be easier to get going.
