Roland UA22 DuoCapture EX USB Interface + Cakewalk Sonar LE Audio Production Software
USB audio interface with 2 x VS preamps
Housed in a compact, road-tough metal case, the new Duo-Capture EX is perfect for both home recording and mobile production. The rugged USB audio interface is outfitted with a pair of VS preamps, which feature the same professional components used in Roland's high-end digital mixers. 2x combo XLR/TRS inputs are provided, including a Hi-Z input for connecting a guitar or bass directly. The 3-way power supply offers the ultimate in operational convenience, allowing you to power the unit from the computer's USB bus, batteries, or an optional AC adapter. Powerful and flexible, it is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, and iOS.
The Duo-Capture EX boasts 2 premium-grade, digitally controlled VS mic preamps made from the same high-grade components as those found in Roland's V-Studio 700 and M-400 digital mixers. 2x XLR/TRS combo inputs are provided for the preamps, plus independent phantom power for each channel.
One of its key behind-the-scenes features is its low-noise, wide-ranging power supply. Designed to deliver a clean, balanced input and output, it provides a reliable foundation for any professional audio application or environment. When powered by the computer's USB bus, the Duo-Capture EX internally regenerates the incoming power, ensuring the ideal voltage for optimal sound quality and efficiency in mobile environments.
The Duo-Capture EX is equipped with 2 x XLR/TRS inputs (with phantom-power support for condenser microphones), plus a Hi-Z input switch for direct connection of an electric guitar or bass. The Duo-Capture EX is compatible with all major computer platforms, including WDM/Asio (Windows), Core Audio (Mac), and even iOS for the iPad.
Perfect for traveling musicians, the interface is compact and solidly housed in an aluminum case. It easily fits in a backpack, and weighs just one pound (440g). For the ultimate in mobile convenience, it can be powered via your computer's USB bus, 2 x AA batteries, or an AC adapter (sold separately). Its premium preamps and low-noise design enable pro-quality results anywhere you record, indoors or out.
Turn your iPad into a professional recording device by connecting it to the Duo-Capture EX. Connect the Duo-Capture EX to your iPad via Apple's Camera Connection Kit. Batteries or AC power is required when using the Duo-Capture EX with an iPad. You cannot charge your iPad using the Duo-Capture EX.

Additionally, it can also function as a USB-MIDI interface to control iOS apps with electronic instruments such as MIDI keyboards, V-Drums, etc.
