Overview

E-MU audio quality is now portable and Mac compatible with USB 2.0!

E-Mu took their renowned 0404 PCI interface and put it into a USB 2.0 compatible audio and MIDI computer interface. The combination of premium 24-bit/192kHz digital audio converters, musical XTC mic/line/hi-Z preamps, and ultra low jitter clock deliver an extremely clean sounding and stable computer recording system.

The E-Mu 0404 interface offers true cross-platform support for Windows XP (standard or 64-bit) and Mac OS X, as well as compatibility with most popular audio recording and sequencer applications. The low-noise, Class-A XTC preamplifiers provide 48V phantom power and ground lift switches enabling you to plug microphones, keyboards, and guitars straight into the 0404. An analog soft-limiting circuit lets you record a hotter signal without fear of clipping. You also get optical and coaxial S/PDIF (switchable to AES/EBU) and MIDI I/O to easily connect digital studio gear and MIDI instruments or modules. Low latency USB 2.0 drivers offer accurate timing and playback of your recorded audio and software instruments. You also get zero-latency hardware monitoring and the Production Tools Software Bundle which includes music software to create, record, edit, and master your audio compositions.
