audio inputs and outpus.
◆ Multiple CueMix DSP mixes - create different
monitor mixes for the main outs and head-
phones. Add send/return loops for outboard
gear with no latency.
◆ CueMix DSP near-zero monitoring system.

troller and/or sound module with no sepa-
rate interface needed. MIDI I/O is sample-
accurate with supporting software.

Half-Rack, Bus-Powered FireWire Audio Interface
The UltraLite is a half rackspace, bus-powered FireWire audio interface
that turns a laptop or desktop Power Mac, Intel Mac or PC into a
mobile 24-bit, 96kHz recording studio with 10 inputs and
14 outputs. Housed in sturdy yet lightweight aluminum alloy,
the UltraLite provides 2 mic/instrument inputs with preamps,
48v phantom power, unique three-way pad switch and front-
panel Digital Precision Trim knobs that provide 24dB of gain in 1dB
increments for a total gain range of 60dB. The UltraLite also provides on-board
SMPTE time code synchronization features, which allow users to slave their UltraLite
system to SMPTE time code (via any analog input) without a synchronizer. The UltraLite can also generate time code and
send it to any analog output. These sync features are provided by a DSP-driven phase-lock engine with sophisticated
filtering that provides fast lockup times and sub-frame accuracy. MIDI performance is sample-accurate with supporting
software. Connect microphones, guitars, synths, keyboards, drum machines and even effects processors, and then use the
UltraLite's built in 8-bus mixer to monitor all of these live inputs via the UltraLite’s main outs, headphone jack or any
other output — with virtually no monitoring latency and no processor drain on the computer.
