New Drivers Ready for Event's EZ8

January 03, 2003

Event Electronics announced the availability of Version 1.0 of the Windows XP ASIO/WDM driver for their EZ8 Optical Audio Interface. The EZ8 is an inexpensive PCI card with ADAT lightpipe I/O that allows users to get high-quality digital audio into and out of their computers.

The new driver supports eight channels of 24-bit/48kHZ audio I/O when used with an ASIO- or WDM-capable audio application running under Windows XP Home or Pro editions. When recording with programs such as Steinberg's Cubase SX and Nuendo, or Cakewalk's Sonar, the driver boasts latencies as low as 2-3 milliseconds on standard Pentium- and AMD-based hosts.

The EZ8 is designed for use with Event's EZbus Computer Audio Recording Interface / Software Control Surface / Stand-Alone Digital Mixer, or any device, such as a Modular Digital Multitrack, that is equipped with ADAT lightpipe I/O. Connections between the EZbus and the EZ8 are made entirely in the digital domain via fiber optic cables, so the sonic integrity—i.e., S/N ratio, dynamic range, and THD+n—of the source signals are precisely maintained.

Users can download the EZ8 Windows XP driver at no charge.
