Digigram releases new ASIO driver for miXart 8 range

Digigram, a world leader in innovative digital audio network solutions, has released a new driver set v2.00g for its miXart 8 range of multichannel sound cards, which includes miXart 8, miXart 8 AES/EBU and miXart 8 CN.
For the first time, the driver set features an ASIO driver in addition to the existing WAVE and Digigram np drivers. An open source Linux driver project for this range of sound cards was launched in September 2003.
Marc Benard, Digigram sound cards product manager, said: “ASIO has become a recognized standard for multichannel applications in music and audio content production, as well as video post-production and DJ application. We are proud that professional users and ambitious amateurs now can capitalize on both ASIO’s low latency and the miXart 8’s sound quality.”
The miXart 8 is a unique platform, combining powerful Digigram onboard processing with comprehensive audio mixing functions. Powerful audio applications requiring multiple I/Os for distributing, recording, routing and mixing can take advantage of the miXart’s 8/8 analog mono I/Os, including four microphone preamps with phantom power supply.
The miXart 8 AES/EBU features 4/4 additional stereo AES/EBU inputs/outputs to make it the ideal card for the professional audio environment, particularly broadcast and production. Due to its synchronizations capabilities, the miXart 8 AES/EBU is an excellent choice to integrate audio with video systems.
The miXart 8 CN is the world’s only sound card with CobraNet interface. It provides eight channels of CobraNet input and eight channels of CobraNet output, which operate independently of the analog inputs/ouputs.
Digigram digital audio solutions are major suppliers to broadcast and public address companies worldwide.
