1- Introduction
Welcome!
E-MU PCIe Digital Audio Systems
11
Both Systems Include:
The E-MU 1010 PCIe Card is the heart of all three systems. Its powerful hardware DSP
processor allows you to use over 16 simultaneous hardware-based effects, which place
minimal load on your computer’s CPU. The E-MU 1010 PCIe Card also provides eight-
channels of ADAT® optical digital input and output, as well as a S/PDIF stereo digital
input and output.
The PatchMix DSP mixer application is included in all the systems. PatchMix DSP
delivers unmatched flexibility in routing your audio between physical inputs and
outputs, virtual (ASIO/WAVE) inputs and outputs and internal hardware effects and
buses—no external mixer needed. You can add digital effects, EQs, meters, level
controls and ASIO/WAVE sends anywhere you like in the signal chain.
Because the effects and mixing are hardware-based, they don’t add latency when you
record. You can even record a dry signal while monitoring yourself with effects!
(See
“The Order of Effects” on page 57.)
Mixer setups can be saved and instantly recalled for
specific purposes such as recording, mixdown, jamming, special effect setups, playing
games, watching DVDs, or general computer use.
E-MU 1212
m
System
The E-MU 1212
m
includes the 0202 Daughter Card, which provides 2 line level,
balanced analog inputs, 2 line level, balanced analog outputs, plus MIDI input and
output. This is no-compromise audio interface, using ultra-high performance
24-bit/192kHz A/D - D/A converters to deliver an unbelievable 120dB dynamic range.
E-MU 1616
m
System
S/PDIF and ADAT on
the 1010 PCIe card are
NOT ACTIVE when the
MicroDock is connected.
The E-MU 1616
m
system includes the MicroDock
m
, a no compromise, mastering-grade
system in a half rack-space, audio interface. The MicroDock adds the following input
and output capabilities to the system: two mic/line inputs with custom low-noise
preamps, 4 balanced line level analog inputs, an RIAA stereo turntable preamp, 6
balanced line level outputs, an assignable headphone output, two sets of MIDI I/O
ports, an additional S/PDIF optical output, and four stereo mini phone jacks for easy
connection to powered speaker systems. The 1616M system utilizes ultra-high perfor-
mance 24-bit/192kHz A/D - D/A converters with automatic DC blocking to deliver an
incredible 120dB of dynamic range.
Sync Daughter Card
The legacy Sync Daughter Card is NOT compatible with the 1010 PCIe card. The Sync
Daughter Card was an option for the original 1010 PCI card and provided Word Clock,
SMPTE and MIDI Time Code output.
