ESI U46 XL AUDIO INTERFACE
The ESI U46 XL is a multi-purpose 4-in 6-out multi-channel audio interface, that provides 2 stereo line inputs, a microphone input with +48V phantom power and a headphone output.
The ESI U46 XL has improved analog circuitry enhancing the audio quality as well as the professional microphone preamplifier with XLR input. This makes the U46 XL the perfect solution to record signals from dynamic or condenser microphones on the road or in your studio.
The unit also features an instrument input (Hi-Z), typically to connect a guitar directly to it. Two totally separate stereo line inputs on the backside provide 4 simultaneously usable input channels at one time. Check it out on the Camden Sounds website.
The ESI U46 XL also has 6 independent individual outputs on the backside, perfect for multi-channel playback applications like to provide individual outputs for software synthesizers, to provide independent playback channels for DJ software or to provide surround playback capability via a 5.1 setup. A separate mix output with professional TRS outputs could be used to connect U46 XL to professional stereo studio monitors.
A further feature is the DirectWIRE support in the driver, allowing you to record signals from one application to another internally. U46 XL works with this driver based on ESI´s EWDM technology under Windows XP and Windows Vista, however U46 XL is also Mac OS X compatible.
