Every studio eventually runs into the same issue one time or another – how to plug in all the gear to your computer-based DAW! The 96i from Digidesign enables you to readily introduce output from third-party outboard gear – keyboards, samplers, effects, and other line-level equipment – into your Pro Tools|HD environment. Its 16 analog inputs provide balanced or unbalanced A/D conversion using tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) 1/4″ connectors. A S/PDIF port capable of 24-bit digital I/O allows you to connect professional DAT recorders, CD players, and other digital recording devices. A/D and D/A converters of the same quality as those of the Digidesign 96 I/O ensure that your signal’s fidelity is maintained going into and coming out of Pro Tools|HD. So, go ahead and dust off all your keyboards and get them ready to be plugged into your Pro Tools|HD system; the 96i is now available for you!
