USB Soundcard with Single Mic Pre-Amp

Cakewalk UA-4FX USB Audio Capture
An international top-seller for years, Edirol's UA-series interfaces brought amazing value to computer-recording enthusiasts now these products have been renamed to Cakewalk by Roland. Today, Cakewalk pushes the price/performance envelope again with the new UA-4FX. The portable USB audio/MIDI interface sets a new standard for affordable interfaces with its ultra-fast, low-latency audio & MIDI performance, 24/96 audio resolution, phantom-powered XLR mic input, and built-in effects — including a COSM tube MIC preamp simulator for fattening up your tracks. The UA-4FX also includes a copy of Cakewalk’s SONAR LE recording software and Cakewalk Virtual Sound Canvas plug-in (PC), making it a true all-in-one recording solution at an incredibly low price.

High-Quality Audio
If you demand pristine performance, the Cakewalk UA-4FX can handle audio at up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution. Send audio in and out of the UA-4FX via its analog I/O or, for the ultimate in high-end audio quality, take advantage of its S/PDIF optical output. Windows XP users can use the optical output for Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 Surround output as well. Any budding film composers or sound designers out there?

Built-In Effects
Great audio and versatile MIDI combined with a quality suite of built-in effects make the UA-4FX an irresistible package for computer-recording enthusiasts on a budget. Why pay extra for outboard or plug-in effects when the UA-4FX provides a quality, low-latency COSM tube mic-preamp simulator, multi-band compressor/limiter for mastering, amp-simulator and distortion/chorus/delay for guitar, center cancel, reverb, noise suppressor, and more.

Cross-Platform Compatibility
Good news for both Mac and PC users - the UA-4FX is cross-platform compatible. It supports WDM, ASIO 2.0, and Mac OS X Core Audio formats. Enjoy low-latency audio performance on both platforms! PC users are in for an extra treat: Cakewalk ships the UA-4FX with a complimentary copy of Cakewalk’s SONAR LE multi-track recording software as well as Cakewalk’s Virtual Sound Canvas plug-in.

Low-Latency MIDI
Great audio is only part of what makes the Cakewalk UA-4FX a star performer. Connect your synths, modules, and controllers via MIDI, and enjoy ultra-fast, stable performance thanks to Cakewalk’s FPT (Fast Processing Transmission) technology. A single USB cable provides both the MIDI and audio links between your computer and the UA-4FX.

Portable Power
The UA-4FX receives its power via USB, which means no AC adapter is required. Great for musicians on the go!
