Indianapolis, IN -July 22, 2005 - EDIROL today previewed the world's first professional Hi - Speed USB (USB 2.0) multi-channel audio support for Apple Mac OS X Tiger using it's UA-1000 and UA-101 USB 2.0 Audio Interfaces.
This eagerly awaited Mac OS X support is made possible due to advances made in Tiger, the latest version of Mac OS X and EDIROL's continued USB 2.0 audio development.
EDIROL pioneered USB 2.0 audio interfaces with the UA-1000 in March of 2003
and is now the first company to support multi-channel Hi-Speed USB audio on
both Windows XP and Apple Mac OS X Tiger. EDIROL was also the first company
to fully support and implement class compliant FireWire Core Audio drivers for
Mac OS X Panther when it introduced the FA-101 in January 2004.
Kim Nunney, President of EDIROL North America commented, "EDIROL has made
significant investments in leveraging the native processing power of today's
computers and participated in the development of world standards for audio and
MIDI. This investment in R&D allows us to be the first to implement these
standards and have our products lead the way by being first to market. Our introduction
of USB 2.0 audio support for Mac OS X Tiger elevates our market position to
become the only company to fully support both FireWire and USB 2.0 Audio on
both the Windows and the Macintosh platforms. This is great for customers, as
they no longer need to agonize over which interface type to choose. Both have
rock-solid performance and exceptional sonic quality. "
