Roland Octa-Capture Hi-Speed USB Audio Interface

Roland Octa-Capture Hi-Speed USB Audio Interface Overview: EIGHT PREMIUM MIC PREAMPS, COMPACT I/O, PRISTINE SOUND QUALITY Combining ten inputs, ten outputs, and eight VS PREAMPS with transparent 24-bit/192 kHz audio quality, the Roland OCTA-CAPTURE sets a new standard for portable USB 2.0 audio interfaces High-level audio production comes easy with this fusion of premium components, Roland-quality engineering, and proprietary preamp and streaming technology.

OCTA-CAPTURE is not only the perfect interface for multi-channel computer-based production, but also a great solution for expanding the I/O capability of the V-STUDIO 700 and V-STUDIO 100 Brimming with quality and performance seldom seen in its price range, OCTA-CAPTURE is the next-generation audio interface.

Eight Premium Mic Preamps OCTA-CAPTURE boasts eight premium-grade digitally controlled mic preamps (VS PREAMPS), built with the same high-grade components as the preamps in the V-STUDIO 700 and M-400 V-Mixer Eight XLR inputs are provided for the preamps, plus independent phantom power, low-cut filter, phase invert, and digital compression for each channel.

Extreme Low-Latency Driver OCTA-CAPTURE offers incredible stability and industry-leading low-latency USB performance via Roland’s proprietary VS STREAMING technology All current Mac and PC DAW platforms are supported through ASIO 2.0/WDM (Windows) and Core Audio (Mac) drivers.

Thanks to VS STREAMING, you can use multiple devices (two OCTA-CAPTURE units or one OCTA-CAPTURE plus a V-STUDIO 100 or V-STUDIO 700) on the same USB bus without compromising stability, performance, or audio quality Auto Input Level Adjustment Never before has it been this fast and easy to set perfect input levels — simply activate the AUTO-SENS feature with the push of a button, play your connected instruments, and OCTA-CAPTURE automatically sets the ideal recording level for each input.

It’s great for quick, fail-safe audio capture when recording either a fully mic’d drum kit or an entire band Four Flexible Monitor Mixes Beyond traditional audio interfacing, OCTA-CAPTURE offers four independent Direct Mixers for creating software-controlled monitor mixes.

Each mix can be routed to any of the analog outputs and can take advantage of the internal 40-bit DSP processing — perfect for sending custom monitor mixes to headphones , speakers, or recording devices Features: Eight premium mic preamps built in (VS PREAMP) AUTO-SENS function intelligently sets optimal input levels for all preamps Extremely stable low-latency VS STREAMING driver Four independent software-controlled Direct Mixers for creating custom monitor mixes Supports all major DAW platforms on Mac or PC, including OSX 10.6 and Windows 7, through ASIO 2.0/WDM (Windows) and Core Audio (Mac) drivers Rackmount ears included Specifications: NUMBER OF AUDIO RECORD/PLAYBACK CHANNELS 44.1/48/96 kHz: Record: 10 channels Playback: 10 channels 192 kHz: Record: 4 channels Playback: 4 channels SIGNAL PROCESSING PC interface: 24 bits AD/DA Conversion: 24 bits Internal: 40 bits SAMPLING FREQUENCY AD/DA Conversion: 44.1/48/96/192 kHz DIGITAL (IN/OUT): 44.1/48/96 kHz NOMINAL INPUT LEVEL Input Jack 1—6 (XLR type): -56 to -6 dBu Input Jack 7—8 (XLR type): -50 to +0 dBu Input Jack 1—8 (1/4 inch TRS phone type): -46 to +4 dBu NOMINAL OUTPUT LEVEL OUTPUT 1—8: +0 dBu (balanced) HEAD ROOM: 16 dB INPUT IMPEDANCE Input Jack 1—6 (XLR type): 5 k ohms (balanced) Input Jack 7—8 (XLR type): 10 k ohms (balanced) Input Jack 1—8 (1/4 inch TRS phone type): 17 k ohms (balanced) OUTPUT IMPEDANCE OUTPUT 1—8: 1.8 k ohms (balanced) PHONES: 47 ohms FREQUENCY RESPONSE 192.0 kHz: 20 Hz to 90 kHz (+0/-8 dB) 20 Hz to 60 kHz (+0/-2 dB) 96.0 kHz: 20 Hz to 40 kHz (+0/-2 dB) 48.0 kHz: 20 Hz to 22 kHz (+0/-2 dB) 44.1 kHz: 20 Hz to 20 kHz (+0/-2 dB) RESIDUAL NOISE LEVEL MAIN OUT: -87 dBu typ.
