I might be interested....

However' date=' the inputs are all RCA phono aren't they? If so you would also need a mixer to use all the inputs as a mic / guitar / etc doesnt go into RCA as far as I can tell![/quote']

Since I can't see specs for pre-amps (sorry if I missed them Badger, feel free to chastise me if I did, digital specs make my eyes glaze over) you would need at least one pre-amp anyway.

Btw phono to jack converters cost about a quid. Nothing wrong with running a mic unbalanced or psuedo-balanced on a short run either.

Forgot to say 2 x 3metre Phono to jack 10 way looms are included......

All I/O is on phonos - which will not accept a mic level siganl - best to go through even a small mixer for it's pre-amps - you can get a Spirit notepad for about 50 now. The S/PDIF is also on a phono as per the standard. Also there is a "monitor" output on 3.5mm stereo jack which doesn't use the ASIO drivers which is hand when you have more than one audio app open. Cubase / Logic for instance will grab all the ASIO outputs, but in order t edit an audio part in Wavelab or something you normally would have to close cubase to "release" the drivers. The monitor out lets you do that without having to close anything up.

Here's a great review of the card http://www.computermusic.co.uk/reviews/terra/terra.asp

Oh and Christie - STFU :p
