Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Echo dealer

If you're serious about digital audio, you shouldn't settle for anything less than a truly professional audio interface -- and now with Mia MIDI, you don't have to. Mia MIDI offers a pair of balanced 1/4" analog inputs and outputs and operates at the +4 dBu levels used by pro-audio gear. It combines this with 24-bit/96 kHz converters and 106 dB of dynamic range for the quality your recordings deserve. Also included is an S/PDIF digital audio interface for connecting to other digital audio equipment, and MIDI input/output jacks on a custom molded cable.

A unique feature of the Echo MiaMIDI is the use of "virtual" outputs. Echo MiaMIDI appears to software as if it has eight separate outputs, which are digitally mixed down to the physical outputs using MiaMIDI's "console" software and its onboard DSP. This makes the Echo MiaMIDI compatible with all popular multitrack software. And, with Echo's "multi-client" drivers, more than one application (such as an editor and software synth) can be playing back through Mia MIDI at the same time.

Please note that the MIDI functions of MiaMIDI only work under Windows ME/2000/XP(WDM) and Mac OS X.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Works well in Vista x64, solid product"

Sound: Very clear sound out of this product, no noise or distortion that I can hear or see in the recordings. Feature: It's pretty bare bones, but the Mia Midi does what it's designed to do very well. It has native WaveRT support for Vista x64. Make sure to download the drivers from their website and don't even bother with what's on the CD. The updated drivers are rock solid and work flawlessly. I'm at 2.7 ms using ASIO in Vista x64 no problems. Ease of Use: The card installs easily. I downloaded the updated drivers ahead of time so no problems there. The Mia Midi also readily co-exists with my onboard HD Audio, and the driver has no problems routing the output from the HD Audio for games and stuff into one of the Virtual (software) inputs for the Mia Midi. There is a little bit of setup needed to do in Windows to set the default audio input and output devices, but once everything is configured it works great. Input and Output levels, panning, muting, are all easily controlled via the visual mixer window provided with the driver. Quality: The quality of the audio components on this card is superior and it shows in the clarity of sound. I do worry a bit about the way the dongle for the digital inputs hooks up via an S-video connector on the card, but it works without any problems so far. Value: There aren't many audio interfaces that work natively with Vista x64 but this is one that does (and does it well)! Manufacturer Support: The website has updated drivers including native support for Vista x64. They respond to e-mail within 1 business day. The Wow Factor: This card is proven (older) technology and a workhorse for getting the job done, not much in the way of new tech here, just superior drivers. ;) Overall: This is a reliable product and I use it every day. If something happened to it, I would definitely get another.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Beautiful (low nice, full) sounding card."

Sound: The sound of this card I don't think can be any better. I have been using the Echo Mia ( actually the version w/out midi ) for about two years for home recordings. In my estimation I was able to create professional quality recordings. The tracks that I recorded with MIA even before I peformed any audio processing or editing sounded terrific, clear and without the harshness or thinness that is sometimes associated with digital recording. Feature: This card had exactly the features I was looking for, high quality AD/DA. Simple. Quality: No issues with the unit physically. Great sound. Value: If you are looking for a terrific sounding stereo (not a multi-channel) AD/DA converter this sound card is for you. Plus now you can a midi interface for the same price. Manufacturer Support: Standard support I believe. If there was an issue it would have stuck in my mind. The Wow Factor: Great sound. Overall: For what this is you cannot ask for more. I am currently searching for another AD/DA converter that is outside my computer so I can free up computer processing power for more tracks and effects.
