Midiman Announces Omni I/ORecord/playback “front end” for the Delta 44 and Delta 66 interface, or standalone use.
July 24, 2000
The Omni I/O by M Audio (msrp: $299.95) is a record/playback “front end” for the Delta 44 and Delta 66
interface cards, joining together to form a complete system capable of adapting to many
studio scenarios and providing multiple solutions within one desktop environment.
More than simply adding mic preamps to an audio card, the Omni I/O emulates a “split
console” mixer design, making any routing scenario possible. The unit contains
everything needed to record mics, guitars, keyboards and all other instruments, monitor
playback, add effects, and mixdown.
Two mic/instr pre-amps can be switched to line input for a total of four line inputs. Use
the direct outs, or route to the Omni I/O’s extremely quiet mixer to add effects, blend in
keyboards using the unity gain aux ins, and even reroute them to the inputs for
recording. Monitor and mix with separate control room level, plus two headphone outs
with individual level controls. A detailed user guide takes you step by step, making it
easy to get the most out of the Omni I/O and your recording system.Features/Specs
