By tuning all the functional blocks of the system and removing external interconnects, the ULN-8 provides enhanced performance and reduced chance of failure from external influences. Connectors and cables are all potential sources of failure and interference.

Well suited to any recording situation, you can record and edit on the road, in the hotel, on the airplane, or wherever inspiration hits. Use 3 LIO-8s chained together for 24 tracks of live concert recording with processing on all channels in 3 rack spaces. Location sound engineers can now capture the moment — anywhere, anytime.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you’re done recording, use the LIO-8 in the studio as an extremely high quality audio interface to transfer your tracks into a DAW. You’ll be amazed at the sound of this box! And weighing only 6 pounds, and a little larger than a laptop, you can be the first one out of the gig, with no hassle.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe LIO-8’s archival grade inputs and outputs, coupled with Metric Halo’s exclusive Character processing, provide flexibility and sound quality unavailable on any other interface.

From MIOStrip to HaloVerb, the LIO-8 comes with the 2d plug-in package that provides basic production processing. If you need more, you can add the +DSP package. And remember, this one rack space audio interface has the ability to run entirely from any DC power source (16 V - 30 V), making it truly and completely mobile.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eOrganically Scalable\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA unique feature of the Mobile I\/O system is that MIO’s work well individually or as a group.

Adding a unit to the system organically increases the DSP power of the system, so that your DSP always scales with your I\/O. Break your system up for small gigs when playing out or add the units of your mates to build a huge system when required. By standardizing on the Mobile I\/O platform, each member of the band can have ultimate quality while working alone, and the band can have huge track counts when playing together.

Using Metric Halo's Music Based Measurement, the source signal is the input to some audio processing arrangement and the response signal is the measured output of the system, making music your “test tone”. SpectraFoo uses the source signal as a point of reference and the transfer function display shows the differences in amplitude and phase between the source and response as function of frequency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis allows you to measure the properties of audio processing systems, including systems that contain acoustic elements. You can determine the amplitude and phase response of an equalizer in the presence of musical signal as easily as measuring the sound coloration of an acoustic space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpectraFoo provides a Delay Detection Feature to properly measure the power and phase of the response signal relative to the source signal, as the source signal must be delayed to time-align it with the response signal. The delay finder records a segment of both signals and computes the correlation of the signals with each other. By moving the cursor to the largest correlation of the two signals, you set the system delay and compensate for the measurement delay, time-aligning the two signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCapture and Static Analysis system\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAllows you to record directly into SpectraFoo's RAM based capture system\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eProvides loop playback\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAllows you to open sound files for detailed analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecord selections of audio into the computer’s RAM and perform incredibly detailed non-realtime analysis.

A specific example of the usefulness of level-based captures is when you are trying to determine the optimal placement of microphones on a drum kit. When coupled with the Auto Arm feature, level-based punches can be used to capture individual drum beats in a hands-free way, allowing you to devote your attention to placing the mic, while still benefiting from SpectraFoo’s analysis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Data Slicing is enabled, the realtime instruments display the data which lies underneath the current position of the cursor.

The number of samples in the time slice are determined by the I\/O hardware’s buffer size. The samples are displayed starting with the first sample in the time-slice in the upper left hand corner of the instrument.

The meter takes the 16-bit samples and divides them into two groups: the most significant byte (MSB) which is the top 8 bits, and the least significant byte (LSB) which is the bottom 8 bits. For each sample these groups are then converted to horizontal (MSB) and vertical (LSB) offsets into a 256x256 pixel matrix.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eBit Matrix Meter (Accumulation Snapshot)\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSwitch the Bit Matrix Meter into Accumulation Mode and display the aggregate utilization of the code space.

If the conversion is not up to snuff, you might as well toss the product out the window -- as the best you can hope for is that it doesn’t damage your precious audio (or reputation) too much. No matter how good the DSP is, if your converters don’t capture (or render) your audio accurately you are starting at a deficit.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAudio conversion is something that is more than the sum of its parts. You can’t simply look at the converter chip and determine how something is going to sound. Excellent audio conversion requires careful attention to detail and the tuning of every element of the entire conversion system; this includes the analog front end, the power system, the clock and the converter chip itself. As all of these interact with each other in nonlinear ways, it is the system that determines the performance, and not any of the individual parts. As any system can be no better than it’s weakest link, it is vitally important that the component you use to capture and render all of your audio is not the weakest link in your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe analog converters in the ULN-8 provide mastering grade conversion that “simply gets out of the way.” Metric Halo’s converter philosophy is to come as close to the original analog signal as possible; converters should not color your signal. By accurately reproducing your input, the ULN-8 3d allows you to properly capture the nuance of your sources, whether they be mics, tape decks or classic analog gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAccurate conversion means that when you monitor your production, you actually hear what you will deliver - not some approximation with euphonic distortions introduced by your monitoring chain. And if you add euphonic distortion with an analog loop, you can be sure that the results will be captured accurately. In other words, the ULN-8 doesn’t distort the distortion. You choose where and when your signal is processed.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe A\/D\/A converters in the ULN-8 are DC-coupled to the analog I\/O stages so they introduce extremely low phase distortion. The D\/A has no low-frequency filtering and may be used to drive DC signals for generating CV signals for analog synths. The A\/D converters have an extremely low frequency DC blocking filter that calibrates the input path and removes DC offset, so they cannot be used to capture DC CV signals, but the integrated EdgeCard slot may be used to add a wealth of ADAT connectivity to the ULN-8, which can be used to drive dedicated third-party CV converters.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eMonitoring\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMonitoring is critical to the production process at every stage; you need to be able hear exactly what you are working on. Your monitor chain will be limited by the weakest link in the chain. The ULN-8 3d integrates a transparent digitally controlled analog-domain monitor controller to ensure that you can connect directly to your reproduction chain without having to reduce the fidelity of your signal with an inferior monitor control system.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Monitor Controller in the ULN-8 3d provides sophisticated monitor control features that are only available in dedicated monitor controllers that paradoxically cost more than the ULN-8 3d.
