Hi guys,<br>
I want to buy a usb sound card with the following specs:<br>
16 input channels :<br>
at least 8 Mic ins, <br>
the rest line ins, intrument ins or ADAT ins (optical)<br>
no spdif<br>
<br>
output channels:<br>
8 would be nice but not a must<br>
<br>
price: 300-350 €<br>
<br>
I have these on my list:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.thomann.de/de/256918tascam_us1800.htm">http://www.thomann.de/de/256918tascam_us1800.htm</a>
(has no ADAT, but only spdif)<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.thomann.de/de/phonic_firefly_808_retour.htm">http://www.thomann.de/de/phonic_firefly_808_retour.htm</a>
(unkown manufacturer, at least to me)<br>
<br>
</blockquote>

Neither of the two you list meet your criteria. The Tascam only
provides 14 inputs (not counting the S/PDIF), and the Firefly is
Firewire only.<br>
<br>
I don't know of a 16x4 USB device right off hand.<br>

Staat heißt das kälteste aller kalten Ungeheuer. Kalt lügt es auch;
und diese Lüge kriecht aus seinem Munde: 'Ich, der Staat, bin das Volk.'
