About This Product!

Description

Docs

Audiophile USB is the affordable, no-hassle USB audio and MIDI interface for Mac and PC. The Audiophile USB builds on the success of our popular Audiophile 2496 -- awarded Best Soundcard by Computer Music magazine -- delivering 24-bit/96k quality with great dynamic range and noise specs. That's because it uses AC-powered components that deliver better fidelity than bus-powered circuitry. The included Mac and PC drivers let you independently scale bit depth and sample rate (up to 96k) to deliver the lowest USB latency anywhereÖwhether you're on stage or in the studio.

Features:
Simple USB connectivity for audio and MIDI

2 pairs of analog line-level audio inputs (1/4 in. unbalanced or RCA)

2 analog line-level audio outputs (RCA) with level control knob

S/PDIF in and out (coaxial)

Support AC3 for surround sound setups

MIDI in and out

Headphone output (1/4 in.) with level control knob

High performance 24-bit/96k ADCs (109dB dynamic range)

High performance 24-bit/96k DACs (107dB dynamic range)

Low latency

External power supply allows higher-fidelity AC-powered components
