Roland UA-22 DUO CAPTURE EX USB Audio/MIDI Interface

Pro I/O for PC, Mac, and iPad.




Housed in a compact, road-tough metal case, the new DUO-CAPTURE EX is
perfect for both home recording and mobile production. The rugged USB
audio interface is outfitted with a pair of VS Preamps, which feature
the same professional components used in Roland’s high-end digital
mixers. Two combo XLR/TRS inputs are provided, including a Hi-Z input
for connecting a guitar or bass directly. The three-way power supply
offers the ultimate in operational convenience, allowing you to power
the unit from the computer’s USB bus, batteries, or an optional AC
adapter. Powerful and flexible, the DUO-CAPTURE EX is compatible with
Windows, Mac OS X, and iO.

VS Preamps
DUO-CAPTURE EX boasts two premium-grade, digitally controlled mic
preamps (VS Preamps) made from the same high-grade components as the
preamps found in Roland’s V-Studio 700 and M-400 digital mixer. Two
XLR/TRS combo inputs are provided for the preamps, plus independent
phantom power for each channel.

Low-Noise Power Supply
One of the DUO-CAPTURE EX’s key “behind-the-scenes” features is its
low-noise, wide-ranging power supply. Designed to deliver a clean,
balanced input and output, it provides a reliable foundation for any
professional audio application or environment. When powered by the
computer’s USB bus, the DUO-CAPTURE EX internally regenerates the
incoming power, ensuring the ideal voltage for optimal sound quality and
efficiency in mobile environments.

For Home Recording
The DUO-CAPTURE EX is equipped with two XLR/TRS inputs (with
phantom-power support for condenser microphones), plus a Hi-Z input
switch for direct connection of an electric guitar or bass. The
DUO-CAPTURE EX is compatible with all major computer platforms,
including WDM/ASIO (Windows), Core Audio (Mac), and even iOS for the
iPad.

For Mobile Musicians
Perfect for traveling musicians, the DUO-CAPTURE EX is compact and
solidly housed in an aluminum case. It easily fits in a backpack, and
weighs just one pound (440 grams). For the ultimate in mobile
convenience, the DUO-CAPTURE EX can be powered via your computer’s USB
bus, two AA batteries, or an AC adapter (sold separately). Its premium
preamps and low-noise design enable pro-quality results anywhere you
record, indoors or out.

For iPad
Turn your iPad into a professional recording device by connecting it to
the DUO-CAPTURE EX*. Record vocals, guitar, keyboard, or other
instruments with superb quality through the DUO-CAPTURE EX into the iPad
using your favorite iOS apps. Additionally, the DUO-CAPTURE EX can
function as a USB-MIDI interface to control iOS apps with electronic
instruments such as MIDI keyboards, V-Drums, etc.
