      Cakewalk UA-25EX USB Audio Interface (243033)
Availability:  


Rugged 2x2 24-bit/96kHz USB audio interface with high-end mic preamps, balanced I/O, and more.

The UA-25EX is a feature packed, professional-level, ruggedly made 2x2 24-bit/96kHz USB Audio Interface for Mac and PC. With its professional quality mic preamps and compact size, the UA-25-EX is equally suited in the project studio or as a mobile solution on the road for high-quality audio recording and music production.

High-Resolution Performance
Don't let its compact size (or body) fool you—the UA-25EX is a full-featured, professional audio interface with extras you wouldn't expect in its size and price class. It's capable of handling audio at 24-bit/96kHz resolution, and boasts newly-developed high-end mic preamps, plus pro-quality balanced audio inputs and outputs, and an integrated low-noise, wide-range power supply.

Analog Compression & Limiting
The UA-25EX features a modern analog compressor with variable attack times and threshold control for smooth capture of vocals or dynamic instruments. The accompanying limiter prevents input clipping from occurring so you'll never lose those perfect takes.

Pro-Quality Shielding with Ground Lift
With its high-grade aluminum chassis, the UA-25EX can withstand hard impacts, and is shielded against high-frequency interference from other electrical components. Should a ground loop occur, the new ground-lift function eliminates the noise by disconnecting the sleeve pin of the master output from the earth ground.

Compatible With All Major DAWs
The UA-25EX is the perfect I/O for Mac and PC customers looking to get better audio quality from Ableton Live, Cubase, FL Studio, Digital Performer, Garage Band, Logic, Nuedo, SONAR, and others.

Bundled Software
For Windows customers just getting started, the UA-25EX includes the Cakewalk Production Plus Pack, a feature-rich recording software bundle consisting of SONAR LE, Project5 LE, and Dimension LE for PC-based recording. The CD-ROM also includes the latest ASIO, WDM, and MME drivers for Windows XP and Vista (32-bit versions), plus Core Audio drivers for Mac OS X.

Cakewalk UA-25EX USB Audio Interface Features:

  • Designed for low-noise and high-sensitivity professional recording with +4 dBu balanced input and output
    2 premium XLR/TRS jacks with improved, professional-grade mic preamps and phantom power for crystal-clear audio capture
    Analog Dynamics Processing (threshold-adjustable Compressor/Limiter) with indicator for great sound on input
    Direct-Box functionality, essential for noise-free live stage use
    USB bus-powered, no AC adaptor required, ideal for mobile use
    High-resolution recording & playback, up to 24-bit/96kHz through USB connection
    Compact and ultra-sturdy, solid-metal construction
    Variety of input and output options
    Powerful low-latency driver performance

  • Cakewalk UA-25EX USB Audio Interface

    As reviewed by Sing Sai Lor on 3/23/2010

    Cakewalk UA-25EX USB Audio Interface is alright. If I have money, I'll perfer a power interface than a USB Interface because sometimes USB gets very crazy and it doesn't quite work sometimes and it's easily broken. However, the UA-25ex will be a good experiment to those rookies who find interested in recording music.

  • Very Great Audio Interface

    As reviewed by Emmanuel on 2/24/2010

    I'm very satisfied with this audio interface. I recommend the UA-25EX over M-Audio any day. Top notch studio quality 24 bit 96 khz. Easy install and ready to go. very portable and durable not that cheap plastic crap. this unit is made of all metal and can survive hard impacts. Has many features. It has digital Ins and Outs which the Pre Sonus Audio box doesn't have.

  • Thank You

    As reviewed by JazzMan001 on 7/29/2010

    Love it. I bought a new high end Dell computer with a supposedly high end sound card and spent several hours trying to make it work with Sonar 8.5. I decided to purchase the Cakewalk UA-25EX. It took about 10 - 15 minutes to hook it up and I was recording. I highly recommend this audio interface. Extremely low latency and very easy setup. Wish I would have bought this months ago.
