Akai Professional announces the new EIE I/O audio interface and USB hub.
The EIE I/O is a tabletop USB audio interface perfectly tailored for project and portable studio setups. This four-in, four-out (4×4) device enables users on Mac and PC-based systems to record up to 24-bit resolution into any DAW, recording or performance software.
The EIE I/O also houses three USB inputs, in addition to its main USB port, enabling users to connect controllers, hard drives or any other peripheral when native ports on a computer may be limited. The recording interface contains components including nickel-plated input jacks, analog-style VU meters and an aluminum casing for a portable audio solution.
Each channel of the EIE I/O has a XLR-¼” combo jack, dedicated gain-pots and Mic/Line/Guitar switches. The EIE I/O features four preamplifiers with 48V phantom power for use with any microphones. Individual ¼” Nickel-plated jacks found on the back of EIE I/O provide channel inserts for processing audio signals externally. Users can monitor sessions on multiple sets of studio monitors using the four ¼” balanced outputs, which are also Nickel-plated. Both pairs of outputs can be monitored visually with the analog VU meters providing classic features with modern style. For remote tracking and alternative playback, the EIE I/O has a 1/4” TRS headphone output.
The EIE I/O sends and receives four audio channels on a single USB cable for simple, universal interface to a computer. The three additional USB ports allow EIE I/O to function as a hub as well, bridging other MIDI controllers and hard-drives to the computer. The bus-powered USB interface is class compliant for plug-and-play operation with Mac OS X and Windows XP, Vista and 7. The EIE I/O features traditional MIDI In and Out jacks for playing and controlling software with keyboard and pad controllers, workstations, and other MIDI-compatible instruments.
