Specialized equaliztion for restoration work, such a AES/EBU and RIAA de–emphasis, are also provided. Also includes VST implementation for added versatility.

    Series 300
    Though the Series 300 DSP I/O Processors are the perfect stand–alone I/o for all your Core Audio applications, they work especially well with soundBlade.


    † Editing is always real–time while DSP is real–time, if possible. If not, signal processing is moved to the background so your productivity is unaffected.
    ‡ Supports lowest jitter 1x creation of CD-Rs, though your particular CD-R mechanism may not.
