- There's No More Important...
There's no more important part of the signal chain of your studio than your mic preamps. So when you invest in new audio I/O for your computer studio, put your money where your mouth is. The i88X is an mLAN based Audio and MIDI interface which features 2 mic and 6 line inputs that deliver a pristine audio signal to the unit's precision 24-bit/96 kHz A/D converters. Built-in ADAT Light Pipe compatibility and S/P DIF I/O allows for 18 simultaneous inputs and outputs. Because the i88X is mLAN compatible i88X you get the added benefits of integration with over 40 mLAN licensee company products. With low jitter clock, and sample rates from 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz, pristine 105dB + signal to noise ratio and a full complement of digital, ADAT and balanced inputs and outputs, the i88X takes your sound to new dimensions.
- The First Two Of The i88X's...
The first two of the i88X's input channels feature extremely high-performance head amplifiers with insert points. These head amplifiers were designed by the same engineers who developed our DM2000 and 02R96 consoles and are the result of years of feedback from world-class engineers and producers.
- They Deliver Transparent Performances...
They deliver transparent performance that rivals - and in many cases exceeds - that of the most expensive component microphone preamplifiers. The i88X bundles Yamaha's mLAN Graphic Patchbay which makes connection in the virtual world possible, without the need to plug and unplug cables. Different digital signal routings can be easily configured and stored as files on your computer for instant recall.
- So Don't Trust Your Music...
So don't trust your music to companies that just recently got into the audio business, or software companies that dabble in hardware. The Yamaha mic pre amps on our digital mixers have been used on countless hit records in the last 15 years. And now that same audio quality is available in a single rack space computer I/O for your home studio. So put your money where your mouth is and get an i88X.
