Digigram's VXpocket offers the power to perform serious audio production on laptop computers by presenting excellent audio quality plus compatibility with the most popular applications under Windows, the Mac OS, and Linux.

The two VXpocket models provide 24-bit performance with PC applications using Microsoft's WAVE protocol and ASIO, as well as Mac applications using ASIO. Mac Sound Manager applications operate at 16 bits.

Both cards feature one stereo SPDIF input and output allowing digital record/playback and an LTC (SMPTE) time-code input. A breakout cable is provided with XLR connectors for the analog inputs/outputs, phono connectors for digital and LTC, and a stereo mini-jack for headphone monitoring.

The VXpocket 440 has four balanced mic/line analog inputs and four balanced analog outputs. The number of active stereo inputs and outputs available varies with the sampling frequency and bit rate selected. The user may optimize performance based on user preferences for number of input/output, audio file format, and computer CPU usage.

If the possibility of running sophisticated audio applications on your laptop has sparked your imagination, this range of cards can turn your concept into a reality.
