Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a cheap (sub-£150) sound card, ideally USB, which just has two inputs (optionally two outputs) on XLRs (or jacks), balanced, with the ability to handle pro-level or consumer-level input, no gain or silly nonsense, just a really straightforward rugged ADC (optionally a DAC) with an input level select switch (+8), maybe some little screwdriver-operated gain pots?
Just hunting around for cards for a streaming encoder and I simply can't find anything close to this - everything's got big friendly gain knobs or the connectivity sucks or it's absurdly expensive. I'm pretty sure there must be something out there like this, I'm just not looking in the right places. ASI cards are all too expensive for us, even the cheap ones. Any experience on what cards you've gone for in this situation? (It's being fed by a Sonifex DA6G distribution amplifier - the PC sound card we're using presently is turned right down and it's still clipping, as to be expected I suppose...) (USB preferred because the box is a half-height chassis, and USB is a bit more versatile, but I'd be interested in anything - can always rehouse the box...) -- Cheers, James Harrison _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
