Features 8/x

This audio system offers:

  • 24-bit/192kHz converters: 111dB SNR A/D, 116dB SNR D/A, 0.001% THD+N
  • Two mono one/4" analog inputs
  • Two mono 1/4" analog outputs
  • Optical Due south/PDIF I/O
  • Coaxial South/PDIF I/O
  • MIDI I/O
  • Congenital-in DSP with nix-latency monitoring with effects

Line inputs aren't suited for guitars with passive pickups and instruments with active pickups offer too weak signals to drive them and that'south why an active DI box is a must here. WAVES/PRS GTR3 interface works well with its counterbalanced output set to line level.

You lot tin't really complain given its quality and price. Plugging instruments and microphones, notwithstanding, requires additional external hardware.

Sound quality 9.9/10

0404 PCIE sounds incredible. There's no fashion to compare this audio interface to any USB audio interface that I've come up across. It gives music deepnes, space and makes your centre become faster and information technology sends shivers become down your spine. The sound is surprisingly dynamic and bright in higher frequency ranges, lows are tight, articulate and still pleasantly circular.

Remember that tune that you really loved in the past and you don't know what happened but you don't feel that way anymore? Listen to information technology on 0404 PCIE.

Round trip latency, driver performance

Everyman round trip latency is 6.2ms at ASIO buffer size of 88 samples and sample rate of 44.1kHz. This is really corking and it surely can compete with far more expensive interfaces. Increasing sample rate all the way up reduces the latency further to approx. 5ms. It takes audio 2ms to get through 0404 PCIE with hardware direct monitoring feature.

Update (June 7th, 2012)

In that location's a small latency migrate of maximum 7 samples @ 44.1kHz (0.1587ms). Driver functioning is acceptable - in a session with two tracks loaded with amp sims and IR cabs in that location was just occasional popping at the lowest buffer size on an i3-2100 based auto running under Windows seven 32-fleck.

DSP

The built-in DSP is capable of sophisticated mixing, routing, direct monitoring and calculation effects. It'southward possible, for instance, to rout whatsoever input source to an ASIO channel or ASIO output to WDM input. Offered furnishings include EQs, reverb, filibuster, chorus, distortion, guitar speaker simulator. Guitarists won't be impressed by their level of realism just they should similar the possibility to record dry while rehearsing through these effects with a latency of only 2ms. Every effect is processed by the DSP, it's also possible to utilise E-MU DSP accelerated effects in whatever DAW but it doesn't seem to piece of work on Vista/seven at the moment.

Ease of use 8.v/ten

PatchMix DSP can be probably confusing to some users due to the fact that it offers a lot. It's non that difficult anyhow, it comes with many templates and you tin save your sessions and even channel FX chains. Information technology's a lot similar any DAW software. It's not rocket science, but reading the manual might be a skilful idea.

Toll 10/10

Great price for the value, information technology costs effectually xc euro new.
