ESI GIGAPORT eX Desktop 8-Output USB Type-C Audio Interface

ESI ESI-GIGEX Overview





As a compact desktop USB Type-C audio interface that supports high-resolution multichannel surround sound playback, the ESI GIGAPORT eX offers DJs, producers, and mobile mixers a portable and simple solution for getting audio out of their Mac/Windows computer or iOS mobile device. It sports eight independent line outputs on unbalanced RCA jacks and two independent 1/4" stereo headphone outs, all capable of resolutions up to 24-bit / 192 kHz.
With no controls or switches to configure, the GIGAPORT eX provides user-friendly operability. Though its primary functionality serves audio playback, the interface's virtual loopback option can be used for internally recording the output of one application to another. Run the GIGAPORT eX with your favorite DAW or use the supplied software bundle to start creating tracks.
