Built in Analogue Limiter The UA-25 includes a Direct Monitoring zero latency switch to allow the user to hear the recording in real time, plus a "MONO" setting switch to hear phasing issues or monitor a single source through both channels of headphones easily. As usual Edirol have nailed the drivers, so you can expect good stable performance, plus a few little extras: The UA-25 also has the ability to reroute out-going audio signals back to the input without crossing into the analog domain. Why is this useful, you ask? If you are streaming audio from the internet, most applications won't allow you to record the audio directly. But if you run it out of your sound card & back to an input, you have an audio signal that you route to any recording application you like. The UA-25 allows you to do this without requiring you to make a physical connection with a cable, and most impressively, without leaving the digital domai Drivers are available for Mac OS 9 and X. Windows XP Home Edition/ XP Professional /2000 Professional /Me/98 Second Edition Suggested retail price is Ãƒ?Ã‚Â£169 incl VAT/ $295
