Affordable PC Digital Audio System!

The E-MU 1212M Digital Audio System delivers everything you need to produce audio on a PC with professional results - 24-bit/192kHz converters (using the same A/D converter chips as Digidesign's flagship Pro Tools 192 I/O interface), hardware-accelerated effects and mixing, and seamless compatibility with your favorite PC audio/sequencer software. Whether you are recording full-blown productions or running virtual instruments on a dedicated computer, the E-MU 1212M Digital Audio System is the perfect solution for any application that only requires a couple channels of premium analog I/O (i.e. mastering, remixing and running virtual instruments).

E-DSP Hardware-accelerated Effects, Mixing and Monitoring:
E-MU's Digital Audio Systems feature the powerful E-DSP chipset, which features a hardware-accelerated effects processor with over 20 effects plug-ins (over 500 presets). This effects architecture is fully expandable, allowing you to add more effect plug-ins to your system as needed. E-DSP also provides zero-latency, hardware-based mixing and monitoring via the included PatchMix DSP mixer, delivering unmatched flexibility in routing audio between all of your physical and virtual (ASIO/WDM) inputs and outputs- no external mixer needed.

An excellent interface, with zero latency and no CPU overhead.

I know the analog stages are just as Important as the converters. E-mu did the analog proper ,no haze that is associated with low cost conversion. The clock is also just as Important,very low jitter. ... read more [+]You can't beat the sound in this price range or even a good bit more expensive. close [-]

Very Surprised

by David Tartar from Joplin Missouri

Music Background: Recording and Mix Engineer, Voice Talent, Drummer
To say the least I was very surprised by this product. I basically upgraded to this system just for the need to work at 24 bit versus my older unit which is only 20 bit. Echo Layla. I thought the s... read more [+]elf powered effects would be nice in a pinch when doing massive mixing jobs but to be honest I am surprised by the quality of the effects. The A/D converters sound great. My first project was a voice over job for a local retail shop. In store promotional stuff and suggestive selling. I was using my C1 in my treated room. Also ran directly through the sound cards parametric eq and compressor. The sound was crisp and clear. I tested it without the effects and it was still great but I was able to set the effects for my needs for this project. This card is pretty powerful. My only hope is that they include a gate as a core effect in there next upgrade. I have several (gates) but it would save me some patchwork if I could do it all digitally after the mic pre. I would truly expect to pay $499 for a card with this much horsepower and clarity. Oh one after thought...I had a question about some of the included software and the tech from E-MU took his time with me and was extremely kind. I would recommend this card to anyone needing 2 channels in and out. The effects and free software are just icing on the cake. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
