The MiaMIDI from Echo Digital Audio is a PCI card with a custom molded cable that offers a pair of balanced 1/4 inch analog inputs and outputs and operates at both +4dBu and -10dBv levels. The 24-bit/96kHz converters provide for 106dB of dynamic range and the custom cable provides S/PDIF digital audio input/output for connecting to other digital audio equipment, and a single set of MIDI input/output jacks.

A unique feature of the MiaMIDI is the use of "virtual" outputs. The card appears to software as if it has eight separate outputs, which are digitally mixed down to the physical outputs using the supplied "console" software and its on-board DSP. This makes for compatibility with all popular multi-track software.

And with Echo's "multi-client" drivers, more than one application, such as an editor and a software synthesizer, can be playing back at the same time. It needs to be noted that the MIDI functions of the MiaMIDI only work under Windows ME/2000/XP(WDM) and Mac OS X
