Akai Professional EIE USB Audio Interface at a Glance:

• Make great-sounding audio recordings
  
• Desktop friendly design, road tough construction

Make great-sounding audio recordings
Don't compromise recording quality just because you want an interface that fits your budget. Akai Professional's EIE interface lets you record 48kHz audio at up to 16-bit resolution. You'll love the EIE's flexible inputs, which accomodate both microphones and instruments. Plus, those genuine VU meters look cool and display levels accurately.

Desktop friendly design, road tough construction
Akai Professional made the EIE the perfect size for your desktop studio - and, they built it road tough, so you can record wherever your inspiration takes you. This rugged audio interface features an ultra-durable cast-aluminum chassis. The EIE is compact enough for easy transport, but Akai made sure to put the connections and controls right where you need them, for absolute convenience and better workflow.

All the connections you need
Because many of the best recording laptops feature a limited number of USB ports, Akai Professional decided to give the EIE a trio of extra USB inputs. That means you can take your controller keyboard, pad controller, and external hard drive, with you, and still have USB ports left over for your iLok or other peripherals. Plus, onboard MIDI I/O lets you hook up any MIDI based gear as well.
