Metric Halo Mobile I/O ULN-2

I was looking for a sound card that makes no compromise with quality. For the record, I had a HD2 with omni before. But so disappointed with this closed system and does not need that after all of bcp IN / OUT, a good sound card enough, with an I / AES EBU was a determining factor for me O, because I used parallel digital preamps with only AES EBU output. The primary use is on protools on both my mac pro but also on a MBP, and it takes all sounds sense to use a card in all conceivable situations, no limit for a card / 2 I O. ..

UTILIZATION

drivers are super stable and no need to update them regularly because precisely, they are stable. no limits with this card, you can do anything.

GETTING STARTED

In use, the start is a little long time to understand how this mixer sub software layer, but once the principle understood is much more happiness as configurable as desired, insert plugs can be supported by the DSP card, as more ....

OVERALL OPINION

That's 4 years since I use it daily, and say, I'm not going to change because so far, 0 errors, 0 failures, 0 problems and especially compared to anything I've had before (Motu 896HD, Digidesign 02R, 03R Digidesign, Digidesign HD2 + omni) is by far the one that delivers the best sound quality. 'll Regret, sometimes I think a driver under Windows would let me go do some session with some friends who are on this platform, but really it is to say something negative. For everything else, thank you Mr. Metric Halo

Potard for: 2 XLR / TRS (pairs of send / return) + Monitor + Headphone
other connections without knob: SPDIF / AES output stro ...
chantillonage of 24-bit 96Khz. A / D converter and 110dB D / A 120dB. Can be powered by a 4-pin XLR (those used on cameras: Beat belt, ...) but also feed via firewire if you have the computer ...
NO MIDI
VU to particulirement prcis (one in between)
rack if desired: need to add small "Querre"
Possibility of 10 mmoriser config for standalone use (and this use on this card is really a killer)

UTILIZATION

Setting a bit complex but once you freelance, has become trs interresting because Designed went well (great potential)
the manual is very well done but lacks a bit of clarity ...

GETTING STARTED

And it is that the RSID advantage of this card: sound quality ... without staining, impccable
with Digital Performer (MAC) is a rgal, latency is a pleasure, .. never plant! ! if! if!
you just buy a MIDI, and now I am considering buying a pramp optical outputs ... bnficier to 4 inputs.
the size and weight in the background a map possde many advantages ... because it is primarily nomadic, it seems to me empty.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 10 months since I use it every day ...
The fact of it everywhere: on set, Live recording, home studio transportable wish (without tarnishing the quality)
Say it is a single card at what it offers. It does not really competitor, albeit to get a little CHRE the two tracks but it follows you everywhere, even if you do not have power.
and my only regret not having price version with DSP ... dja but as a.. it's fabulous.
