1- Introduction
Welcome!
outputs, virtual (ASIO/WAVE) inputs and outputs and internal hardware effects and buses—no external mixer needed. You can add digital effects, EQs, meters, level controls and ASIO/WAVE sends anywhere you like in the signal chain.
Because the effects and mixing are hardware-based, there is no latency when you record. You can even record a dry signal while monitoring yourself with effects! Mixer setups can be saved and instantly recalled for specific purposes such as recording, mixdown, jamming, special effect setups, playing games, watching DVDs, or general computer use.
E-MU 1212M System
The E-MU 1212M includes the 0202 Daughter Card, which provides 2 line level, balanced analog inputs, 2 line level, balanced analog outputs, plus MIDI input and output. This is no-compromise audio interface, using ultra-high performance
24-bit/192kHz A/D - D/A converters to deliver an unbelievable 120dB dynamic range.
E-MU 1820 System
The E-MU 1820 includes the AudioDock, which is a half rack-space, audio interface. The AudioDock adds the following input and output capabilities to the system: two mic/line inputs with TFPro™ preamps, 6 balanced line level analog inputs, an RIAA stereo turntable preamp, 8 balanced line level outputs, an assignable headphone output, two sets of MIDI I/O ports, an additional S/PDIF optical output, and four stereo mini phone jacks for easy connection to powered speaker systems. Combined with the digital I/O on the 1010 PCI card, you have a total of 18 inputs and 20 outputs! Of course, professional- quality, 24-bit A/D and D/A converters with automatic DC blocking are used throughout.
E-MU 1820M System
The E-MU 1820M system includes the AudioDockM, and is a no compromise, mastering-grade system, which includes all the features of the 1820 system. The 1820M system is distinguished by the addition of ultra-high performance 24-bit/192kHz A/D - D/A converters which deliver an unbelievable 120dB dynamic range.
The Sync Daughter Card comes standard with the 1820M system and can be purchased as an optional upgrade to the 1820 and 1212M systems. The Sync Card adds Word Clock in and out for sample-synchronizing outboard digital equipment and SMPTE longitudinal time code in/out for syncing other recording equipment. A separate MIDI Time Code output port on the Sync Card eliminates timing problems caused by combining MTC with MIDI performance data.
