Gina 3G is the third generation of Echo's budget priced digital audio recorder. Ideal for the budget-minded musician who wants to get into digital recording without sacrificing quality for price. You won't need a mixer or studio monitors to get started here. Gina3G has all you need: 2 universal inputs with mic preamps, 6 balanced analog outputs, and a headphone output. ADAT lightpipe, optical and coaxial S/PDIF, and MIDI are included as well; so as your studio grows, Gina3G will be able to work with all your new gear. It comes with a 8' cable and PCI card that connects to the audio interface. Gina3G is compatible with PCI-X (3.3 or 5 volt) motherboards and Power Mac G5 computers, as well as older systems.
