Re: [Flexradio] Edirol FA-66 Firewire with 192 KHz sampling rate added to list of supported sound cards
I use a Stor model that cost around $20 at Fry's Electronics. I don't have the model number off-hand, but for the right amount of money, I could be coerced into shutting my computer down and pulling the card out to check. :) Eric Wachsmann FlexRadio Systems -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] radio.biz] On Behalf Of Cecil Bayona Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2006 3:02 PM To: Reflector Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Edirol FA-66 Firewire with 192 KHz sampling rate added to list of supported sound cards That is a good idea of having a list of cards know to work well.

[Flexradio] Edirol FA-66 Firewire with 192 KHz sampling rate added to list of supported sound cards
FlexRadio Systems is pleased to announce that we are now a Roland distributor for the Edirol FA-66 FireWire Audio Interface. The Edirol box will replace the PreSonus Firebox as the recommended unit best suited for portable and serious audio applications. The Delta 44 remains as our recommended PCI soundcard. The FA-66 is capable of running sampling rates of 192, 96, and 48 KHz. While the FA-66 will work with most systems, we recommend using a late model computer when running at 192KHz. When using the 192KHz sampling rate, over 100 kHz of spectrum can be shown in the default 1x zoom Panadapter display [and nearly 200 KHz in SPEC mode]. This is twice as wide as that of sound cards operating at 96KHz. With the addition of selectable 4096 DSP buffers, currently available in Alpha (SVN) releases, performance is as good or better than sound cards operating at sampling rates of 48KHz or 96kHz. Additional features of the FA66 include: virtually no latency at high sampling rates, pristine audio on receive and transmit, 48 volt phantom power for use with condenser microphones, microphone preamp, and an input level gain adjustment knob. The Edirol FA-66 has a list price of $499; however, our sales price is $349.90. The FA-66 can be ordered on our website at www.flex-radio.com or by calling us at (512) 250-8595. We expect to begin shipping on or about September 29th. John P.

Re: [Flexradio] Edirol FA-66 Firewire with 192 KHz sampling rate added to list of supported sound cards
I take it that you will be letting your UK distributor know? I do hope they don't sell too many Fireboxes in the next few weeks... For any non-UK reader, I can let you see how the SDR1000, and the 'recommended' soundcards are marketed over here.
