Edirol UA25 USB audio interfaceThe metal casing makes the UA-25 both portable and durable.

Professional Audio quality, with a wide range of in and output connectors. Phantom powered mic preamps on TRS/XLR combo jack inputs. Digital In for digital CD, synths, FX, DAT and Mini Disc Outputs include RCA (phono) and TRS Balanced outputs for maximum flexibility. A Hi-Z switch helps bring a guitar or bass in without the need for a direct box. To add quality to this flexibility, the UA-20 offers balanced +4 dBu inputs and outputs.

The UA-25 includes a Direct Monitoring zero latency switch to allow the user to hear the recording in real time. It has MIDI in and out, featuring FPT, for better MIDI timing in more critical situations.

A feature I admire is the “Limiter” function which optionally adds mild compression to the analogue audio inputs. This reduces the likelihood of clipping and makes the UA-25 the best audio interface for remote recording where a clean audio recording is a must and a second take is not an option.
