volume control, there are other functions that you need such as a “de-noiser”, “de-
scratcher”, “loudness maximizer” as well as types of special spreaders and softeners.
Last but not least, the ability to burn CDs would be desirable. All of these functions are
contained in specialized software which you can obtain, for example, from the fol-
lowing leading manufacturers:

Microphone.
Please note, that the inputs on the EWX 24/96 don’t support microphones, not even
so called
phantom powering
(48 V for the power supply). These typically have a
6.3 mm jack or 3-pole XLR jack – so save yourself the time and money on the self-
made RCA adapter. If you are planning on recording using a microphone and want
professional quality (e.g. spoken word, singing, or acoustical instrumentals), then
there is no way around acquiring professional hardware. Dedicated microphone
boosters or mixing units with the corresponding inputs and AUX Send paths (or sub-
groups) can be purchased at any music store.
If you would like to use the EWX 24/96 in connection with a
Speech Recognition Sys-
tem
, then you need to have a microphone with it’s own amplifier. There are also sepa-
rate, battery-powered amplifiers you can connect between a microphone and the
EWX 24/96 input.
