MaXiO PCI Card

ESI's MaXiO XD is a PCI based 32-channel, 24-bit/192kHz recording system. The MAXIO XD is a complete 24-bit/192kHz recording system designed to handle 32 simultaneous channels of analog inputs and outputs.

The basic system consists of the EX-8000, a 2-rack space unit with 8-in/8-out balanced XLR connectors and a PCI interface. It is equipped with four firewire-like EDI (EgoSys Digital Interface) connections, each capable of individually supporting one EX-8000, giving the system 32 channel capability on one card.

The MAXIO XD system will support up to 4 cards on the same computer making a total of 128 channels of recording possible. Well Balanced. The front panel of the EX-8000 features 8 balanced MIC preamps. Combo connectors offer the choice of using XLR or TRS inputs. There are 10 step LED peak metering lights for each channel. The EX-8000 also includes +48V DC phantom power on each channel, AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital I/O, and a headphone monitor.
