New Powerbook Series Of Digital Audio Products From BIAS

February 23, 2000 -- Berkley Integrated Audio Software (BIAS) now offers a wide variety of individual products and bundled audio solutions for Macintosh G3 PowerBook owners. This range of options allows individual performance needs and and budgets to be met without sacrificing portability.

“There are so many different audio products to choose from these days,” says Andrew Calvo, BIAS’s VP of Sales, “and more coming out all the time. This makes it increasingly difficult and time-consuming for people to figure out what they really need. With our new offerings we want to simplify that process for musicians and engineers using PowerBook computers.”

Each of the three BIAS/PowerBook bundles comes with the new VXpocket ® PCMCIA card from Digigram. A $729 value by itself, the VXpocket comes with two balanced 24-bit analog converters, S/PDIF input and output, SMPTE input, compatability with sam-ple rates from 8 to 48 kHz, and hardware support for simultaneous record and play-back.

The card ships with both Sound Manager and ASIO drivers, and is fully tested and approved for use with biasPEAK le 2.1, biasPEAK 2.1, and biasDeck. When combined with BIAS software, the VXpocket will transform any G3 PowerBook into a complete mobile audio workstation, perfect for recording anywhere in the world.

The three bundles offered by BIAS are distinguished by the software that comes along with the VXpocket.
