PRESS RELEASE
Audioterminal 010 from ESI Handles Multiple Digital Formats
January 29, 2002
Advertisement ESI announced the release of Audioterminal 010, a PCI-based digital interface that allows users to cross major audio equipment manufacturers' proprietary digital communication platforms. The four formats supported are Alesis ADAT optical, Tascam TDIF, Roland R-BUS and S/PDIF (Sony-Phillips). Housed on a half-length PC card, Audioterminal 010 is designed to work with 24-bit/96kHz audio but also supports all standard sampling rates from 32kHz to 96kHz. Other features include: 1-in/1-out MIDI for syncing with MIDI Time Code (MTC) and MIDI Machine Control (MMC) and also supporting 32 MIDI channels. A 25-pin D-Sub connector is provided for TDIF/R-BUS I/O, along with 2 TosLink fiber optic jacks for ADAT Lightpipe I/O, S/PDIF coaxial I/O, and built-in word clock and external clock I/O. An optional sound card for analog monitoring is also available. Not requiring any additional PCI slots, the sound card mounts onto the Audioterminal 010. This versatile add-on includes stereo line inputs and outputs, 1/4" stereo headphone monitor out, a mono mic input and an MPU-401 port. A powerful new addition to the ESI line, "Audioterminal 010 is the ideal solution for audio producers who were previously limited to one group of equipment due to format," says company COO Paul Wishart. "From here on, digital incompatibility is no longer a roadblock to creativity. The Audioterminal 010 paves the way for musicians to get back to what's really important, making music. The ESI Audioterminal 010 is priced at an affordable $399 (US) and slated to begin deliveries in January 2002. For more information, visit their web site at http://www.esi-pro.com/.
