The Wave/824 is a professional 24-bit interface with 8 inputs and 8 outputs of digital audio with an integrated MIDI port. Priced at under $500*, the Wave/824 sets a new benchmark for value in 24-bit multi-channel recording technology.
The Wave/824 is a complete system that includes PCI card, rack-mount patch box, and basic recording software. "Since the Wave/824 features are modeled after popular 8-track recorders, it's very easy to hook-up to other studio gear and start recording", said Rob Ranck, company founder. "It includes active-balanced audio connections that connect to nearly any analog equipment including mixers, preamps, amplifiers and monitors. It's the central hub of a digital desktop studio based on a Windows PC or Mac. Users can also expand to 16 or 24 analog channels by installing multiple Wave/824 interfaces."
The Wave/824 combines high current, low-impedance analog circuitry with 24-bit discrete digital converters to achieve professional audio performance (better than 102 dB dynamic range). "The PCI card incorporates the second generation of Gadget Labs' exclusive SoundCache(TM) to produce glitch-free audio recording and playback. This advanced design, combined with our direct marketing focus, allows us to deliver the Wave/824 interface at must lower cost than other 24-bit recording interfaces."
