St Audio DSP2000 C-Port @ $398

(*on orders over $199)

The DSP2000 C-Port system is a high quality 24bit/96kHz multi-channel recording package representing the latest technological advances in digital recording for the home/studio PC. The unit ships as a complete audio/MIDI, hardware/software solution in one package. The system delivers outstanding performance never seen before at such an affordable price.

The package comprises of an ultra high quality 24bit/96kHz PCI host card (DSP24), the XG-DB I digital expansion daughter board bracket, the ADC&DAC2000 external converter unit (19 inch standard format), and a powerful recording software application developed by Emagic (Logic SoundTrack 24).

By housing all converters externally in the full size rackmountable chassis, your recordings are captured with absolute pristine transparency. Full 24bit/96kHz bandwidth with full duplex operation is available over 10 simultaneous inputs and outputs.

The kit comes packed with all the I/O options you need right out of the box - eight analog inputs, eight analog outputs, two optical & coaxial S/PDIF + AES/EBU I/O channels all at 24bit resolution. It also comes with a one in - two out (32 channels) - MIDI interface and a headphone output with separate volume control. Two of the eight analog inputs on the ADC&DAC2000 include XLR balanced connectors and feature independant quality microphone pre-amplifiers with gain controls and switchable phantom power. This eliminates the need to incorporate a separate mixer in many situations. You can plug in an instrument or microphone, set the gain levels and start recording immediately! This makes the package a completely self-contained, fully featured hardware interface for all aspects of home studio recording. With the included Logic SoundTrack 24 software package from Emagic, this solution is the perfect place to begin building your studio.

Because the DSP24 with ADC&DAC2000 is an integrated system featuring both hardware and software, there is no need for concern over compatibility issues. Everything has been designed and tested as a complete solution.

Excellent driver support is available including Windows 9x/Me, 2000/XP, ASIO 2.0 and multiclient-GSIF. The included ASIO 2.0 drivers of the DSP24 card support 2ms latency at 96kHz and 5ms at 44.1kHz with recomended buffer sizes (or even lower values under Windows 2000/XP on fast systems). This means for users of modern software synthesizers (such as GigaStudio or VST-/DXi-Plugins) that you can play your sounds now in realtime, even using realtime effects (like DirectX- or VST-plugins).

The DSP24 card is of course compatible with all today's latest applications including Logic Audio, Cubase VST, Cubase SX, Nuendo, Cakewalk SONAR, Samplitude, Cool Edit, Acid, Vegas, etc. - It's very simple to install and use and makes a great choice for you to build a home studio around.

The main PCI host card (DSP24) can be connected to multiple external interface boxes simultaneously allowing other options for ADC & DAC conversion, ADAT & T/DIF connections, or multiple input digital connectivity. In addition to all this flexability, up to three additional DSP24 PCI host cards (4 in total) can be installed in the same system! This allows for an amazing 40 channel I/O!

As you can see, unlike other systems, this package is extremely flexible and can expand to meet the needs of your future requirements.
