PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Layla3G is the third generation of Echo's flagship PCI-based multitrack digital recorder. The original Layla premiered seven years ago to critical acclaim, including a TEC award nomination. Since then Echo has been perfecting the art of making high quality recording products at affordable prices. Now you can get all of the features of the Layla24 for a new low price, but with better converters and dual mic preamps!!
Layla3G is the perfect center for any professional studio. It has 2 universal inputs with mic preamps, 6 balanced analog inputs, 8 balanced analog outputs, and a stereo headphone output. ADAT lightpipe, optical and coaxial S/PDIF, and MIDI are included as well. Layla3G comes with a 15 ft. cable and PCI card that connects to the audio interface. Layla3G is compatible with PCI-X (3.3 or 5 volt) motherboards and Power Mac G5 computers, as well as older systems.
