Laptop owners, have you felt like you've been missing the power and
audio quality that desktop computers enjoy with PCI-based audio
interfaces? Well, fret no more! E-MU has taken the quality features
from its 1820 digital audio card and shrunk it into the 1616 CardBus, a
complete digital system in a PCMCIA card.
You can use it by itself for
its DSP power and studio-quality headphone amp. Better yet, connect the
included MicroDock audio/MIDI interface and get a total of 16 inputs
and outputs - including two custom mic preamps with phantom power and
Neutrik connectors. That makes the 1616 CardBus and your laptop a
complete mobile recording right!
High-quality laptop audio interface with up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution
E-MU's new 1616 Laptop Digital Audio System brings the same powerful
DSP effects, zero-latency monitoring and pristine 24-bit/192kHz A/D and
D/A converters of E-MU's best selling PCI digital audio systems to your
laptop. The E-MU CardBus card can be used standalone for its DSP power
and studio-quality headphone amp/line output, or plugged into the
MicroDock for a total of 16 inputs and 16 outputs plus two sets of MIDI
I/O.
Tons of bundled software
Plus, you can start making music immediately with the included
software. Bundled with the 1616 CardBus is Proteus X LE as well as
software from Steinberg, Ableton, IK Multimedia, and many other
manufacturers. The E-MU 1616 CardBus offers a complete mastering-grade
digital audio system at a price that will change expectations of
computer based recording forever.
DSP-accelerated effects with virtually no CPU load
E-MU's Laptop Digital Audio Systems feature the powerful E-DSP chipset,
which features a hardware-accelerated effects processor with over 28
effects plug-ins (over 600 presets). This effects architecture is fully
expandable, allowing you to add more effect plug-ins to your system as
needed. The 1616 comes with reverb, delay, flange, phase shift, rotary
speaker simulator, and loads of other effects, ready to go. E-DSP also
provides zero-latency, hardware-based mixing and monitoring via the
included PatchMix DSP mixer, delivering unmatched flexibility in
routing audio between all of your physical and virtual (ASIO/WDM)
inputs and outputs - no external mixer needed.
