Laptop owners, have you felt like you've been missing the power and audio quality that desktop computers enjoy with PCI-based audio interfaces? Well, fret no more! E-MU has taken the quality features from its 1820 digital audio card and shrunk it into the 1616 CardBus, a complete digital system in a PCMCIA card. You can use it by itself for its DSP power and studio-quality headphone amp. Better yet, connect the included MicroDock audio/MIDI interface and get a total of 16 inputs and outputs - including two custom mic preamps with phantom power and Neutrik connectors. That makes the 1616 CardBus and your laptop a complete mobile recording rig!

E-MU 1616 CardBus Digital Audio System at a Glance:
  • High-quality laptop audio interface with up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution
  • Tons of bundled software
  • DSP-accelerated effects with virtually no CPU load

High-quality laptop audio interface with up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution
E-MU's new 1616 Laptop Digital Audio System brings the same powerful DSP effects, zero-latency monitoring and pristine 24-bit/192kHz A/D and D/A converters of E-MU's best selling PCI digital audio systems to your laptop. The E-MU CardBus card can be used standalone for its DSP power and studio-quality headphone amp/line output, or plugged into the MicroDock for a total of 16 inputs and 16 outputs plus two sets of MIDI I/O.

Tons of bundled software
Plus, you can start making music immediately with the included software. Bundled with the 1616 CardBus is Proteus X LE as well as software from Steinberg, Ableton, IK Multimedia, and many other manufacturers. The E-MU 1616 CardBus offers a complete mastering-grade digital audio system at a price that will change expectations of computer based recording forever.

DSP-accelerated effects with virtually no CPU load
E-MU's Laptop Digital Audio Systems feature the powerful E-DSP chipset, which features a hardware-accelerated effects processor with over 28 effects plug-ins (over 600 presets). This effects architecture is fully expandable, allowing you to add more effect plug-ins to your system as needed. The 1616 comes with reverb, delay, flange, phase shift, rotary speaker simulator, and loads of other effects, ready to go. 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.
