E-MU 1616M System
The E-MU 1616m system includes the MicroDockM, and is a no compromise,
mastering-grade system, which includes all the features of the 1616 system. The 1616M
system is distinguished by the addition of ultra-high performance 24-bit/192kHz
A/D - D/A converters which deliver an unbelievable 120dB dynamic range.
PatchMIx DSP
PatchMix DSP offers unmatched flexibility in routing your audio between physical
inputs/outputs, virtual (ASIO/WAVE) inputs/outputs, internal hardware effects and
buses. No external mixer is 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, you can record using effects with
near zero-latency. You can even record a dry signal while monitoring yourself with
effects! 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.
You’ll want to keep up with the latest software and options for your E-MU digital audio
system. You can find all of this, plus other helpful information, at the E-MU Website:
