Your Affordable S/PDIF and RCA Workhorse!

Edirol's UA-1EX is an extremely handy USB audio interface. Thanks to its S/PDIF optical inputs and outputs - and convenient USB computer connection - you can flawlessly handle common tasks, such as recording tapes or vinyl to the computer, or playing your MP3 collection through your home stereo receiver. The UA-1EX even features a headphone output with volume control, so you can quickly and easily listen to playback from your computer. With 24-bit/96kHz audio resolution, and low-latency ASIO-compatible performance, you'll love the affordable Edirol UA-1EX.

Edirol UA-1EX USB Audio Interface at a Glance:
  • Streamlined and efficient S/PDIF I/O tool
  • 24-bit/96kHz resolution with low-latency performance

Streamlined and efficient S/PDIF and RCA I/O tool
With Edirol's UA-1EX, you can get the task done with ease. This ultra-portable and ultra-handy USB audio interface offers up S/PDIF optical I/O and RCA I/O, so you can record S/PDIF or RCA signal to your computer. For example, you can take the S/PDIF output of a nice microphone preamplifier and record it digitally straight to your computer - without dropping a lot of money on a bigger audio interface that has a bunch of features you don't need. Also, the UA-1EX makes it send signals inside your computer - maybe your MP3 collection - and feed it into an RCA-input-equipped speaker system, such as your home theater receiver. You can beat the value with this extremely efficient tool.

24-bit/96kHz resolution with low-latency performance
Not only does the Edirol UA-1EX handle basic S/PDIF recording and routing needs, but it also does it with quality in mind. This little USB audio interface delivers quality 24-bit/96kHz resolution. And, it can do it with pleasingly low-latency performance.

Edirol UA-1EX USB Audio Interface Features:
  • Up to 24-bit/ 96kHz resolution
  • ASIO2.0 (Win/ Mac), WDM (Win2000/ XP), Core Audio (Mac OS X) compatibility
  • USB Powered - No AC Adapter required
  • S/PDIF Optical Input and Output
  • RCA Input and Output
  • Electret Condenser Microphone Input

Value... Finally

by David Rhoderick from Troy, NY
January 24, 2008
Music Background: Producer
When I needed to switch from my Phonic HelixBoard 17 USB mixer, I didn't have all that much money. I never do. As a student and a musician, I have little money and what I have goes to equipment. I ... read more [+]bought this thinking it would be cheap and somewhat acceptable. I was excited to get it to start working and it took no time at all. Paired with ASIO4ALL (free-ware Asio driver update), it is a killer low-latency, ultra-portable audio interface. I got a Behringer tube pre-amp and together, I can record absolutely anything. The only problems with this product is that the thing is light, almost too light, and although I haven't broken it, I could see myself doing that because of its plastic feel. I have been getting this high pitched whine through my speakers, so I think that might be an issue. I also don't know if that is the output or the input but I am pretty sure it isn't the speakers. The only reason I am considering changing this today is because I am now needing more than 2 inputs and outputs. close [-]
