Overview
The Audiophile 192 is a professional quality audio and MIDI interface based on a low-profile PCI card, offering two analog inputs and four analog
outputs (balanced or unbalanced TRS) on a robust breakout cable. The Audiophile 192 also offers independent S/PDIF coaxial I/O.
The Audiophile 192 supports a wide range of internal sampling rates, from 8kHz up to 192kHz, for clean, high-resolution 24-bit audio performance.
It can also sync to external devices via S/PDIF at sampling rates from 32kHz to 192kHz. The Audiophile 192 runs under Windows XP, Windows
2000, and Mac OS X, and includes ultra-low latency drivers for the most popular audio protocols, including Windows WDM, ASIO II, GSIF II
(backward-compatible) and Mac CoreAudio.
The Audiophile 192 also offers a highly flexible software mixer, giving you zero-latency input monitoring. As part of the Delta series of M-Audio
interfaces, the Audiophile 192 can be used together with other Delta series devices (or with multiple Audiophile 192’s), and can be synchronized
via the control panel’s multiple card sync page in Windows XP (multiple card support is planned for Mac OS X in a future software update). MIDI
I/O is also included, making the Audiophile 192 a total studio solution.
