ECHO Layla 24




Echo LAYLA 24

Layla24 è un sistema di hard disk recording composto da una scheda PCI "Plug-and-Play" da inserire su uno slot del computer e da un modulo esterno in formato rack (1 unità), connesso alla scheda tramite cavo schermato (incluso), su cui sono situati 8 ingressi ed 8 uscite in formato analogico, uscita cuffia, In/Out digitali in formato S/PDIF ed ottico ADAT, In/Out per il word clock digitale ed un'interfaccia MIDI.
Registrazione fino a sedici tracce contemporaneamente, usando simultaneamente ingressi analogici ed ingresso digitale in formato ottico ADAT. L'elevata qualità audio di Layla24 è garantita dall'utilizzo di convertitori 24bit/96 kHz dell'ultima generazione con gamma dinamica di 115 dB e distorsione inferiore a .002%. I drivers ASIO e Sound Manager forniti con la scheda assicurano la completa compatibilità con tutti i principali software per Windows 95/98 e presto saranno disponibili anche Macintosh OS.

LAYLA LAP TOP
E' ora possibile usare il sistema di HD Recording Layla24 anche sui portatili (sia Windows che Macintosh). La connessione avviene grazie all'Echo LapTop Adapter (CardBus ). LAYLA LapTop possiede la stessa qualità di Layla24. Inoltre se possedete già una di questi sistemi (con scheda PCI) e volete poterli ora utilizzare anche sul vostro portatile, l'adattatore Echo LapTop è disponibile anche separatamente.
Now you can run your computer-based studio wherever you can take your laptop. LAYLA LapTops run on most Windows and Macintosh portables. They easily connect to a laptop with the Echo LapTop Adapter (CardBus). If you own a laptop and already have a Layla24 for your desktop computer, the Echo LapTop Adapter is available separately to allow sharing your recording system between your computers.





CARD BUS
Most laptops have one or two PC Card slots for inserting interface cards. These slots interfacewith the older PCMCIA cards (ISA for laptops) or the newer CardBus cards (PCI for laptops). The laptop will automatically detect which type of card is inserted and configure itself accordingly. These cards are also designated as Type I, II, or III depending on the thickness of the card. Echo's LapTop Adapter is a "Type II" card (5 mm thick) and works as a CardBus card. This offers all of the advantages of Echo's PCI interfaces (high speed, bus mastering, low latency, etc.) along with the portability of laptop computers.
