Turntable input: twin phono, 47kΩ/220pF input impedance, nominal 10mV RMS sensitivity. Mic/line inputs: two, balanced XLR with switchable global +48V phantom power and -10 to +50 dB gain range, or unbalanced TS quarter-inch jack with -12 to +28 dB gain. 
Supported sample rates: 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz and 192kHz from internal clock. With support for sample formats including Akai, Emu's own EOS and EIII, Emagic's EXS24, Gigastudio and Steinberg's Halion, as well as Creative's Soundfont 2.1, this hardware/software combination promises to be extremely powerful, and as long as there are no stings in the tail it looks set to take the market by storm.Įmu 1820M Soundcard: Brief Specifications Emulating the designs of Emu's hardware samplers, with hard disk streaming or RAM playback, and using a complex engine with extensive modulation options, possibly its most intriguing feature is the inclusion of over 50 patented Z-plane morphing filters, as used in hardware such as Emu's Morpheus synth. There are three audio interfaces in the range, and two of these are also available as bundles which include Emu's Emulator X software, heralded as 'the culmination of over 30 years of sampler development'. This not only supports 24-bit/192kHz multi-channel recording, but also provides up to 16 simultaneous hardware-accelerated effects, courtesy of the new 100MIPS E-DSP chip. This time around, Emu have launched a rather more ambitious range of five products based around their new 1010 PCI card. This was essentially a stereo sampler with built-in effects, launched without ASIO drivers, and with a fixed 48kHz audio 'engine', just like Creative's Soundblaster Live and subsequent Audigy series. However, the only soundcard previously released under the Emu name was the APS (Audio Production Studio), which I reviewed way back in SOS January 1999. They also, of course, have a huge amount of experience designing hardware samplers and synths. Mac turntable emulator software#
The 18M also feature the Audiodock breakout box.Įmu's range of soundcards offers an unprecedented level of flexibility, DSP power and sound quality for the price - with the added bonus of a very impressive software sampler.Īs part of the Creative Labs empire, and designers of the core chips used in the Soundblaster Live and Audigy ranges, Emu have been largely responsible for the feature set of a vast number of consumer soundcards in general use around the globe today. Emu's new hardware interfaces all use the 1010 PCI card, with their proprietary E-DSP processing chip.
