Truly Portable, Completely Pro Digital Audio Hub
The Mobile I/O ULN-2 is a best in class
FireWire interface that provides 4 inputs and 6 outputs
of comprehensive, simultaneous I/O, 24/96kHz A/D/A conversion
with two channels of Ultra Low Noise preamps (72dB of gain
with an E.I.N. of –130.5dBu), two channels of digital
I/O as AES and S/PDIF, balanced send/return path, and individual
monitor and headphone outputs, each with front panel level
control. The ULN-2+DSP is the only unit in its class with
an on-board processing chip, allowing you to use world renowned
Metric Halo signal processing effects without sacrificing
your computer's processing power.This one rack space audio
interface has the ability to run entirely from the FireWire
bus of a laptop computer or from any DC power source (9V-30V),
making it truly and completely mobile.
ULN-2 is the perfect tool for capturing
audio wherever inspiration hits, in the studio or on the
road. Well suited to any recording situation, the ULN mic
preamps provide exceptional detail and an ultra-fast slew
rate. Fully balanced analog inserts on TRS connectors allow
outboard analog dynamics processing to be introduced between
the mic pres and the A/D converters. Wordclock I/O and 4-pin
XLR power port (for use with typical broadcast camera batteries)
complete the rear panel connections of this highly portable
device.
Flexible signal routing and sophisticated
patch and preset management systems are also featured in
the new +DSP version, including a front panel, nine-preset
register for standalone operation. ULN-2+DSP's front-panel
recall system allows the unit to function equally as well
as a stand-alone Mic Pre/Converter system. In standalone
mode, the ULN-2 operates with the converters directly routed
to and from the AES/SPDIF I/O. As a standalone converter,
the ULN-2 provides a 24bit/96kHz stereo front-end with ultra-low
noise mic pres for any recording system. It also functions
seamlessly as a digital monitor controller, making it ideal
as digital headphone amp and studio monitor controller.
The ULN-2+DSP supports a variety of applications.
For studio recording, it provides a very high quality interface
to a DAW, offering sound processing or simple file transfer
between workstations. Its exceptional sound quality is the
perfect complement to the studio's existing analog to digital
conversion chain. Songwriters and engineers can use the
ULN-2+DSP to record and edit on the road, in the hotel,
while traveling, or anywhere that inspiration strikes.
The ULN-2+DSP is suitable for broadcast
applications, too. It offers instant playback of two individual
stereo sends for music cues or sound effects. The compact
package and portable power features mean that the unit can
go anywhere users need to work, and make on-site fixes or
edit location recordings without the need to send files
back to the studio, saving valuable time before air.
In the live performance arena, in addition
to operating as a remote recorder for archiving performances
or to play out backing tracks and musical cues, the ULN-2+DSP
can operate as a soft-synth mixer and I/O interface. The
ULN-2+DSP is also a great addition to a live sound engineer's
setup, providing a simple and efficient tool for analysis
and system venue tuning with SpectraFoo.
All Mobile I/Os have a SHARC DSP chip
onboard that powers the versatile MIOConsole 80bit WIDE
mixer, router, and control application. Use MIOConsole to
route any input to any output, giving you more powerful
mixing possibilities than any unit on the market. All channels
have 24 bit, 96kHz converters, making this the perfect tool
for digital recording. Add even more power to your rig with
+DSP, Metric Halo's revolutionary approach to taking your
processing plugins with you to rehearsals, the big show,
or to the studio.
