All user reviews for the Metric Halo Mobile I/O 2882+DSP

Amazing card. Converters out of the ordinary that leave others far behind. I use it with LP 7 on PB 17 "1.5ghz 1gig Ram and I must say that I have the same FLEXIBILITY a pro tools HD 9000 with SSL, control surface in less than two and it is thanks to the DSP This beautiful card for a routing (80 bits for an info pro tools hd is a 48-bit and 32 bit is ON) and one for signal processing via plugs (80bits) type channel strip eq comp limiter MS decoder dematriceur and soon a verb and a multiband comp.
I use it everywhere (studio and live sound recording and mix), a nomad with a TL 5001 and a Twin Track Pro Focus, Rode microphones Schoeps and Neumann.

UTILIZATION

Manuel clear despite the importance of features, big support from this little box (5 employees I think).

GETTING STARTED

Drivers fairly stable, good clock (which I recall a key participant in sound quality achieved), works very well with LP7 FCP and the system in general, ultra-low latency (inaudible really, I think 1.5ms), 16 tracks enregistrements/64 read and it will quiet).

OVERALL OPINION

Since one month I use it for all Debtor's plugs supported by the DSP is great, the sudden everything is allowed, the routing is a real patchbay studio and latency does not exist (for once it's true) and all that runs in real time on a portable FW enrgistrant in a FW800 HD Co. Previously an M-AUDIO FW4-10 caused kernel panics on kernel panics by making the same, that is the superior reliability.
Compared to market leaders this card eats them all, here it is said, by far .......... and on all points. Metric Halo thank you.

Super 18 input 18 sound card outputs with integrated DSP
I use the card recording and playback
Beware the card only works with a mac
My config is MH 2882 + DSP Mac Book 2Ghz Ardour and software, external drive on occasion.
Instruments I record voice, sound concert console ADAT outputs.

UTILIZATION

Installation is no problem.
the manual I did not read
The general configuration can be simple enough even after reading the manual.
Routing is super simple card possibilities are enormous. Metric Halo provides regular updates that are not just bug fixes but also advanced software control of the map for a greater flexibility of use and functions supplemenatires. Some bugs I've ever had.

GETTING STARTED

Drivers stable in any one year crash.
Regular update
main software I use is Ardour for users and DP LP7 an update for the integration of plug-in card in the software has been released.
Very low latency, very low almost non-existent (nothing to do with the latency of a MOTU).
recording or reading weaknesses are on the computer, portable drive too slow ... never on the map

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year
the DSP and routing enable all tracks retrieve record with other materials to the route it takes to use the plugins of the card and it saves the mix directly into the card without additional conversion.
Converters excellent
The preamps of good quality, lack of gain 40 dB Max, a little breath when they are pushed.
it is the best mobile map that I used by far
value for money is excellent

I would buy the same card with eyes closed
