It may look like of a replica of a rare Star Wars spaceship, but the CME Xcorpio A interface is not a toy, unless you're one of those musicians who refers to all their gear as toys. In reality, it's a hi-speed USB 2.0-compliant computer audio interface with two high quality XLR analog inputs, two RCA monitor outputs, and a headphone output. Supporting a wide range of sample rates (32k, 441.k, 48k, 96KHz), it gives you 24-bit/96KHz AD/DA conversion as well as a 480Mbps transfer rate. A direct monitor switcher allows for professional pre/post zero-latency monitoring while an LED indicator helps you keep track of I/O overload. The solidly designed Xcorpio's XLR cables come preattached, eliminating the need for extra cables. Simply plug in your mics, connect the included USB cable to the Xcorpio and your Windows XP computer or laptop, and you've got instant plug-and-play recording anytime, anywhere. When you're tired of toying around, and are ready to do some serious recording, think of the Xcorpio A.
