Manufacturer's Description for Aardvark Aark24 Professional Studio System with Cubase LE (Windows)

Achieving superior sound requires simple, foolproof gear. That's why studio pros worldwide trust Aardvark digital audio products to always deliver natural, dynamic sound.

Built upon a decade of experience in engineering high-end digital audio gear, the Aark24's premium 24-bit outboard A/D converters and innovative design give your sound supreme clarity and precise accuracy. You'll notice the difference in any recording session where sonic excellence is an absolute must.

In addition to phenomenal sound quality, the Aark24 is versatile enough to interface your PC with any gear in your studio. The standard ADAT I/O and ADAT Sync make the Aark24 the perfect complement to any ADAT-based studio, while the Word Clock I/O allows it to sync your entire studio to Aardvark's legendary clocking technology! Sequence your synth gear using MIDI I/O while flying digital audio directly to your DAT via the coaxial S/PDIF I/O. And with TOSLINK stereo optical support you can make a direct digital transfer from any Sony Minidisc or CD player.

No other audio system can turn your PC into a professional workstation as easily as the Aark24. Simply put, the Aark24 brings multi-channel audio to your PC with superior resolution and amazing sound quality. ...and it comes with Cubase LE recording software.

The Aark24 is compatible with almost all audio recording software, and is often used with Steinberg Cubase VST/32 & Nuendo, Cakewalk Home Studio & Sonar, Emagic Logic Audio, Syntrillium Cool Edit Pro 2000, and gets ultra low-latency performance with software synths and samplers like Native Instruments, GigaStudio and Propellerheads Reason.
