Bellingham, WA -8/26/04- Edirol's new UA-25 USB Audio/MIDI Interface announced earlier in July is now available for purchase. The UA-25 is the latest addition to Edirol's legacy of high-quality USB Audio technology which began in 1998 with the world's first USB Audio/MIDI Interface - the UA-100.
The UA-25, packaged in a durable metal casing, is bus-powered and transports both audio and MIDI signals to and from the computer all through a single USB connection. It offers phantom power mic preamps on the TRS/XLR combo inputs
for use with premium microphones; a Hi-Z switch to bring a guitar or bass in without the need for a direct box; Digital In to bring in DAT and Mini Disc, RCA, TRS Balanced, and Digital Output to send the signal to any audio destination.
Adding quality to this flexibility, the UA-25 offers balanced +4 dBu inputs
& outputs. In addition, the UA-25 includes a Direct Monitoring switch that
allows the user to hear the recording in real time, as well as a "MONO"
setting to hear phasing issues or monitor a single source through both the left
and right headphone.

The most differentiating feature on the UA-25 is the "Limiter" function
which adds mild compression to the analog inputs. This reduces the likelihood
of clipping and makes the UA- 25 the best audio interface for remote recording
where a clean audio recording is a must and a second take is not an option.
With advanced power circuitry and a low-noise, wide-range power supply, the
UA-25 achieves the highest quality in a USB-powered audio interface. As always,
Edirol has paid particular attention in crafting powerful, stable, low-latency
audio drivers for the UA-25 on both Windows and Mac operating systems, including
direct support for ASIO2.0, WDM, Core Audio, and OS native drivers. Suggested
retail price is $295.
