Echo Mia MIDI Digital Audio Interface

Echo Mia MIDI
If you're serious about digital audio, you can't settle for anything less than a truly professional audio interface ... now with Mia MIDI you don't have to. Mia MIDI offers a pair of balanced 1/4 in. analog inputs and outputs and operates at the +4dBu levels used by pro-audio gear. It combines this with 24-bit/96kHz converters and 106 dB of dynamic range for the quality your recordings deserve. Also included is an S/PDIF digital audio interface for connecting to other digital audio equipment, and MIDI input/output jacks on a custom molded cable.

A unique feature of Mia MIDI is the use of "virtual" outputs. Mia MIDI appears to software as if it has eight separate outputs, which are digitally mixed down to the physical outputs using Mia MIDI's "console" software and its on-board DSP. This makes Mia MIDI compatible with all popular multi-track software. And, with Echo's "multi-client" drivers, more than one application (such as an editor and software synth) can be playing back through Mia MIDI at the same time.

Please note that the MIDI functions of Mia MIDI only work under Windows ME/2000/XP(WDM) and Mac OS X.
