With Yamaha and M-Audio announcing mLAN and firewire interfaces, we've all been wondering when the first USB 2.0 one will arrive.
USB 2.0 is a faster protocol than Firewire, tipping the scales at a beefy 480Mbps over Firewire's no to shabby 400Mbps. With USB 2.0 likely to be present on many of the world's new computers within the next couple of years, this may well be a winning move for Edirol. The UA-1000 is the world's first multi port Hi-Speed USB (USB2.0) audio recording interface.
The UA-1000 bring 10 separate channels via a wide variety of connections, with high quality microphone preamps using premium analog components. These
include XLR/TRS combo jacks, Hi-Z guitar, SP/DIF, 8 channel ADAT, MIDI, and even inserts for effect send/return.
Main features include:
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 supports 480 Mbps transfer speed, allowing the UA-1000 to offer 10 In /10 Out 24bit/96Khz full duplex performance via hassle-free USB connection
4 x front-mounted XLR/TRS combo jacks, with Phantom power
