Waveterminal U2A
High Quality USB Audio Interface for PC & Mac
ESI has always been on the cutting edge of the professional audio industry. Once again, ESI has been one step ahead when introducing the Waveterminal U2A.
This versatile USB interface is not only affordable, it is extremly portable (9 x 9 cm). Its multiple features make the U2A a studio pocketknife for desktop music production. The U2A offers 3 stereo input options (coaxial, optical, and analog) that you can select one at a time while the output signal is available on all 3 output formats at the same time. This feature can make the U2A act as a signal converter between coaxial & optical audio. The analog I/Os of the U2A are supported with ultra-wide range 24-bit AD/DA converters, and unbalanced 1/4" phone jack connections. U2A supports 3 different sampling rates (32, 44.1, 48K) with a real-time hardware sample rate converter.
U2A is compatible with Microsoft Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 and Windows XP, providing WDM drivers including support for MME and DirectSound. It also includes ASIO 2.0 support. Macintosh ASIO (Mac OS 9) and CoreAudio (Mac OS X) support is provided as well.
