Terratec DMX6Fire Sound System USB 2.0 Audio Interface

DMX6Fire Sound System USB 2.0 Audio Interface description:

The Terratec DMX6FIRE SOUND SYSTEM USB 2.0 Audio Interface With 96 Bit / 192 kHz Recording. Return of the sound-legend.

The Terratec DMX6FIRE SOUND SYSTEM, with tough demands on sound quality, is the perfect external audio system for musicians, DJs and gamers. This unofficial successor to the DMX 6Fire 24/96 has been completely reworked and has reached new heights: Instead of a PCI expansion card, it is now equipped with a USB 2.0 jack. Instead of 24 bits / 96 kHz, its engines now hum at 24 bits / 192 kHz. Home studio owners will particularly appreciate four analogue inputs and six analogue outputs, designed for the standard cinch, not to mention digital I/O (optical and coaxial). With a signal-to-noise ratio of 114 dB, crystal-clear sound is a matter of course. The microphone jack (an XLR combo jack), with switched 48 V phantom power, a -20 dB pad switch and separate gain control, provides professional, top-quality recording. Instruments such as guitars and basses also have their own separately adjustable inputs. A MIDI port and headphone output complete the selection of connections. DJs simply connect the turntables to the phono jack (with preamp). The DMX6FireUSB monitor level control makes it possible to pre-listen to the tracks. Convenient: The plugs for the microphone (plug or XLR, with adapter for miniplug) and the headphone are side-by-side. This allows you to plug in a headset with ease. The gamer, too, will find this feature useful, along with the 5.1 surround sound, of course. And when the game has lost its lustre, the DMX 6Fire USB can also convert stereo signals into a sound similar to a 5.1 signal. Whether in the studio, the night-club or in front of a gamer's computer: the new DMX 6Fire USB is a perfect companion everywhere.
