Event Electronics Ships EZ8 Optical Interface

Event Electronics began shipping the EZ8 Optical Audio Interface, a PCI card with ADAT lightpipe I/O that allows users to get high-quality digital audio into and out of their computers at a budget price. Designed for use with the Event EZbus and other lightpipe-equipped devices, the EZ8 supports up to eight channels of 24-bit/48kHz recording and playback. The card also features an S/MUX mode, which allows simultaneous recording and playback of up to four channels of 24-bit/96kHz audio.

The EZ8 is part of a suite of three audio devices, collectively known as the EZbus Audio System Plus, comprising the EZbus, the EMP-8 Eight-Channel Digital Microphone Preamplifier, and the EZ8. The system provides computer-based recording musicians with a wide range of high-quality analog and digital I/O, comprehensive software control over music applications and MIDI devices, and versatile audio mixing, processing, and routing capabilities.

When used with an EZbus, the EZ8 greatly expands the number of discrete tracks users can simultaneously record and play back with their computers. 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. The EZ8 is also ideally suited for use with stand-alone A/D converters, digital mixers, and other lightpipe-equipped devices.

The EZ8 comes complete with two high-quality optical cables (each two meters long) for a suggested list price of $199. Users can also configure their computers with multiple EZ8s, making system expansion both simple and affordable.
