UTILIZATION

Installation:
This audio-numrique consists of a 1010 insrer card in a PCI slot of PC
External Casing and a 1820.
A connector cable with RJ45 (network) of 3 m is supplied to connect the card and the case.
It must also connect a cable provided to power the Casing in 5/12V output sector of the PC power supply.
No problem installing on a PC because Windows XP is responsible to install the drivers provided on a CD-Rom.
Ctrun.exe software to install the applications that came with the card.
It is mandatory to install the E-MU Patch Mix DSP because it can grate the map.
The Casing can be installed in a rack (hardware included) occupies a unit in height and 1 / 2 wide.
However, the indication lights frquence uses MIDI signals prsence situs on the cot and case law will not be visible in a Rack.
The bundled software:
- E-MU Patch Mix DSP dj cit above.
- Steinberg Cubase VST 5.1 version complte.
- WaveLite Steinberg.
- Plug-ins SFX Lt (I have not tried yet)

I note 10/10 because the installation does not pose a problem
and configuration and management of the card looks great with E-MU Patch Mix DSP.

GETTING STARTED

Use:

Entries
If you work the frquence of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, the 1820 offers 18 inputs including:
-8 Analog (2 mic combo jack / XLR and jack inputs 6 symtriques 6.35).
-8 Numriques (ADAT port on the map 1010)
Numriques -2 S / PDIF (RCA on the map 1010)

Lentre Stereo phono (RCA Casing on the 1820) is dconnecte automatically when using lentre 3 (L & R)

If you work the 96 kHz frquence DEnter down the number 10 used in two modes of work are:
-8 Analog (2 mic combo jack / XLR and jack inputs 6 symtriques 6.35).
Numriques -2 S / PDIF (RCA on the map 1010)
The port-ADAT is then disables.
or
-6 Is the 2 analog mic combo jack / XLR jack and 4 between 6.35 symtriques (entries 2 (L & R) and 3 (L & R) are then disables es.
-4 Numriques the ADAT port.

If you work in the 192 kHz frquence DEnter down the number 4 used in four modes of work are:
The 2-mic combo jack / XLR and two line two inputs (L & R)
or
The 2-mic combo jack / XLR and two channels of ADAT port.
or
2 between the line-2 (L & R) and two channels of ADAT port.
or
2 between the line-1 (L & R) and 2 between line 1 (L & R).

If you took lenvie connect more than two microphones with XLR connection on the 1820 simultanment, know quil is possible to convert the entries in the XLR jack 6.35 CC adaptation ugly EST possible! It will then lapplication via E-MU Patch Mix DSP gre paramtrer the 1820 level dentre -10 to + 4 dB. Cest prvu!

I notice 7 / 10 because I only started using this card.
I will return to correct if necessary.

OVERALL OPINION

Global Reviews

The report qualitprix seems excellent.
It seems to me that this price there is no comparison on the market.
I also considered buying a Lexicon Omega but it is more and seems less CHRE complte among other effects in the Intgr 1820.
