Overview
E-MU's 1616 PCI Digital Audio System delivers everything you need to produce audio on a PC with professional results- premium 24-bit/192kHz converters (112dB SNR A/D and D/A), hardware-accelerated effects and mixing, comprehensive sync options and seamless compatibility with your favorite PC audio/sequencer software.
The included MicroDock breakout box offers a total of 16 inputs and 16 outputs plus 32 channels of MIDI I/O, including two E-MU XTC Class-A ultra-low noise mic/line/hi-Z preamps with 48V phantom power and analog soft limiting circuit for clip protection. The 1616M PCI also ships with ASIO2 and WDM drivers for Windows XP and x64, as well as the E-MU Production Tools software bundle that includes E-MU's Proteus X LE, plus software by Steinberg, Ableton, IK Multimedia, and many more - everything you need to create, record, edit, master and burn your music.
Premium 24-bit/192kHz converters - 112dB signal-to-noise ratio for pristine recording and playback of your tracks.
Hardware-accelerated effects - over 600 standalone and E-MU Power FX VST plug-in effects with no CPU overhead.
PatchMix™ DSP zero-latency hardware mixing and monitoring - with super-flexible patchbay - no external mixer needed.
Two E-MU XTC™ Class-A, ultra-low noise preamps (-127dBu) - Mic/Line and true Hi-Z inputs via Neutrik connectors, with analog soft limiter, 48V phantom power and 60dB of gain.
Compatibility with most popular audio/sequencer applications - ultra-low latency 24-bit/192kHz… read more ASIO2, WDM and 64-bit drivers.
Modular design allows you to customize your system - connect E-MU's Sync Daughtercard to your Digital Audio System for SMPTE, Word Clock and MTC sync and/or add the E-MU 02 CardBus Card to your laptop and take your MicroDock on the road.
