(Click for a close-up) | June 19, 2000The MindPrint DI-PORT is designed to be
a recording solution for every computer based digital studio. DI-PORT comes in
a half-rack sized housing and offers high quality recordings with up to 106 db of noise
to signal ratio.
DI-PORT features 24 Bit ADDA in either 44.1 or 48 kHz.
Combined with a simple digital Soundcard with only Digital I/O, a computer and
powerful software the musician is equipped with anything he or she needs. The
DI-PORT stereo output features digital coax and optical connections and additional
digital and coax inputs, ideal for users with consumer Dat- or MD-recorders. On
the Input side of things DI-PORT offers Microphone Inputs and Line Inputs as combi-sockets,
switching automatically from Line to Mic Impedance according to the inserted type
of plug. In Microphone Mode DI-PORT delivers 48 Volts of Phantompower for the
use with condenser Microphones. Additionally DI-PORT has an analogue Line Input
on the rear panel. This enables the user to either route these Inputs or the Inputs
from the front panel to the AD-Converter by simply pushing the front/Rear switch.
This is very useful for setups combining Microphone and Line-/ Instrument recordings. DI-PORT's
rear panel presents a number of very essential connections offering simple but
very useful possibilties which make DI-PORT the one stop solution for the computer
recorder: DI-PORT features a stereo Monitor system via coaxial and RCA jacks.
This enables the user to monitor the analog input signal mixed through the Mix
Knob on the front along with the digital input signal (e.g. the playback from
the computer) through the Monitor Outputs. The monitoring happens with zero latency.
Additionally the user may use the headphone connectors for further monitoring
purposes. The monitoring volume is adjusted with the Volume Knob on the front. Result:
Without the need for any external gear the musician can record a performance and
monitor his playback at the same time.
DI-PORT is available
in stores worldwide for USD 399.
