When you're ready for serious recording power, it's time to turn to the PHASE 88 PCI audio system. With eight balance 1/4" analog inputs and outputs, you have plenty of room to stretch out and play with your recordings. If you want to go really nuts, up to 4 PCI cards can be cascaded with a single driver, giving you no less than 40 audio channels for simultaneous use.
Two of the channels on the PHASE 88 can quickly be adapted to microphone use with their XLR inputs and switchable 48V phantom power. Each channel has an individual adjustment for gain and LEDs status lights to keep you from clipping. With true 24 Bit/96 kHz recording capability, the quality of your recordings will be outstanding.
A two channel digital I/O (SPDIF) with coaxial connectors can be used to connect your DAT recorder or other equipment. In addition, a standard WorldClock I/O keep you in sync with your external digital equipment.
With the PHASE 88 Rack PCI audio interface you get superb quality at an excellent price. Proven converters and a sophisticated board design make this interface a workhorse and the signal-to-noise ratio of 110 dB (A) really speaks for itself.
The PHASE 88 is also future-proof. You can easily replace that PCI connection with an optional firewire interface (not included).
