Sound card external 24bits/48kHz afternoon in a housing made of aluminum alloy (USB 1.0)
- 2 mono inputs on XLR or jack 6.35 with selection of impdance (guitar or instrument / mic), pramp, SETTING THE gain, phantom power supply and an insert.
- A stereo RCA output with volume SETTING THE / 1 stereo headphone jack with volume 6.35.
- An adjustable 'direct monitoring' (which is aptly named)
- 1 MIDI I / O
- Small led all showing prsences signals between MIDI notes, power of the card.

------------------

CHARACTERISTICS pass, we can say that this card brings together everything you need to model and you spend a small mix console.
It possde of pramp microphone with phantom power supply, XLR and SETTING THE volume knob + insert (useful for a comp). It possde input jack switchable impdance guitar-bass (very nice surprise, a chromatic tuner is available in software)
It possde a SETTING THE volume for the headphone output and STREO (useful to boot the PC you are pregnant with monitoring)
And MIDI input / output to connect a Controller (keyboard or otherwise)
Basically all the connections ncessaire on the desktop.
In addition it is quite pretty and looks robust (the case is still pretty compact)

For all these points, level 10/10 CHARACTERISTICS.

UTILIZATION

The manual is in English so be careful. Installation without any problem (in XP)
1 - it installs the drivers without connecting the card.
2 - the end of the install, it connects the card.
3 - you reboot the PC, install a few files back and it prt!

A total of 2 minutes (one, 3 minutes). The windows are similar config all other cards, SETTING THE buffer for latency and it can all prs

For ease of implementation, I put 8 because the manual is available in English.

GETTING STARTED

No problem for drivers at the moment. This is a notice hot, I will return in a few months.
I get 21 ms latency 44kHz, 16 bits. Enough for my use.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had ... one day only (view hot, I RPET)

(+) All the connections available, the knobs of rglage, sound.
(+) The look (it's subjective), the overall construction.

(-) The knobs 'float' a little (but definitely not spit!). In use, we'll see. This may be done for expr allger precisely the action of the knob on the plate lctronique (it's a hypothse)

I was looking for a card that would allow me to connect every 2 minutes in, when I from small mix console. This card is just fine. This is a notice hot, I put in 8

Overall, I will return in a few months. For now, trs positive opinion!

[update] 2 months of use. No problem. I maintain the view. I do not get too much notice of Piem (the problem seems to come from the laptop - USB controller means - not the card ... careful guys when you give advice as constructive ... the card is not in question, it ncessite a USB power supply worthy of the name)
