E-MU's
new 1616M Laptop Digital Audio System is the most powerful and portable
laptop audio system ever created, offering the same powerful DSP
effects, zero-latency monitoring and mastering-grade 24-bit/192kHz A/D
and D/A converters of E-MU's best selling PCI Digital Audio Systems.
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
M for a total of 16 inputs and 16 outputs plus two sets of MIDI I/O.

E-DSP Hardware-accelerated Effects, Mixing and Monitoring
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. 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.
