JamHub Debuts Easy-To-Use 16-Track Live Recorder
The Tracker MT16 is the latest product from JamHub. It's a
portable 16-track audio recorder that can capture up to 16 channels of music at 24-bit/96 kHz quality. While it can easily be
attached to the Remote port on any of the JamHub Studio headphone monitoring mixer/distribution systems, it can also interface
with any mixing console via an optional breakout cable that plugs
into the mixer's insert jacks.
All data is saved to an onboard SD card or to a hard drive or computer connected to the Tracker MT16's USB port. Other features include
built-in Wi-Fi, 8 built-in mono inputs for direct connection without the
Remote port or breakout cable, and a Headphone/Aux output.

Focusrite's New Interface Adds New Features, Maintains Comprehensive Support
Focusrite is shipping the Saffire PRO 26, a portable multichannel audio/MIDI interface that offers
up to 18 inputs and 8 outputs. The unit features four Focusrite mic preamps, two of which can also
accept Hi-Z instrument signals at the front panel; two rear-panel TRS line level inputs; coaxial S/PDIF
I/O on RCA jacks; ADAT optical input for up to 8 additional channels; six analog outputs on TRS;
and two front-panel headphone outputs with individual volume controls. Loopback capability lets
the accompanying MixControl software route audio between software applications as well.
Other features include 8 dB pads on the two Line/Instrument inputs, 48V phantom power
switchable in pairs of channels, a Monitor control section with Dim and Mute switches, MIDI In
and Out, and 5-segment LED metering for the six analog inputs. The Saffire PRO 26 is a FireWire
interface that can operate on an AC power supply or on bus power; it maintains compatibility
with older computers that use FireWire, but has also been fully tested to work with Thunderboltequipped Macs; an Apple FireWire-to-Thunderbolt adaptor is all that's required.
The Saffire PRO 26 is available now, and we have received a unit here at Recording. Stay
tuned for a review.

Eventide Ships 500 Series Digital Delay Module
Eventide is now shipping the DDL-500, a digital delay in the popular 500 Series module format. It offers 10 seconds of delay at a 192 kHz sample rate in a design that minimizes digital circuitry as much as possible.
The unit uses digital components only for the delay itself. All other audio signal paths and features in the DDL-500, including its soft saturation clipping, built-in lowpass filter, feedback control,
insert loop, relay-based bypass control, and 20 dB of gain boost, are all done in the analog
domain. Other features include variable delay time via manual control or with a remote input,
allowing an external LFO to turn short delays into comb-filtering effects such as flanging; and lowered sample rate selection for longer delays, up to 160 seconds at 16 kHz.
Price: $949 ($899 street) * More from: Eventide, www.eventide.com
