Portable and Affordable Audio Interface!
The Electrix E-Box 44 is a low-priced, portable, bus-powered USB audio interface that's great for DJs and producers, mobile rigs, and budget studios. The unit is equipped with phono preamps, and its four RCA inputs can be globally switched between phono and line operation. With the inputs set to phono, the E-Box 44 is great for digitizing vinyl. A 1/4" microphone input with a gain control is also included, which is particularly handy in DJ situations.
Four additional RCA jacks comprise the analog output section, along with a 1/4" headphone jack with a dedicated volume control. Blue activity indicators on the top of the unit show the status of the inputs and outputs, and a yellow LED indicates the phono preamps are on.
The E-Box 44 is well suited for use with DJ software like Virtual DJ, MixVibes, and Native Instruments Traktor Pro. It can also be used with music production software such as Apple Logic, Steinberg Cubase, and Ableton Live. Once you've purchased the E-Box 44, and registered it on the Electrix site, you're eligible for a free download of PCDJ Dex 2 LE software.
