10-Channel Integrated Audio Interfaces
The flagship WaMi Rack 192L and WaMi
Rack 192X are housed in a single-rack space
box designed to form the central core of a
complete 192kHz/24-bit recording system.
They feature four studio-quality discrete XLR
mic preamps (line/mic switchable) inputs with +48v phantom power, headphone output with independent level control,
built-in MIDI interface and coaxial S/PDIF connectors. Otherwise identical, the 192L features a 24-bit/96kHz A/D converter,
the 192X features a 24-bit/192kHz A/D converter.
MAXIO XD
The Ultimate Solution for High Quality Audio Production
The MAXIO XD is a complete 24-bit/192kHz
recording system designed to handle 32
simultaneous channels of analog inputs and
outputs. The basic system consists of the
EX-8000, a 2-rack space unit with 8-in/8-out
balanced XLR connectors and a choice of a PCI
interface for desktop systems, or a cardbus interface for laptop recording. Each interface is equipped with four firewire-like
EDI (ESI Digital Interface) connections, each capable of supporting one EX-8000, giving you 32-channel capability on one
card. In addition, the PCI version can support up to 4 cards on the same computer making a total of 128 channels of record-
ing possible. The front panel of the EX-8000 features 8 balanced mic preamps., while combo connectors offer the choice of
using XLR or TRS inputs. The EX-8000 also includes +48v phantom power and 10-step LED peak metering lights for each
channel, as well as AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital I/O, and a headphone monitor.
