Edirol UA-25 Stereo USB Audio Interface

The UA-25 is a powerful USB Audio/MIDI interface designed to offer premium sound quality, rugged durability, and complete portability to the computer-based audio engineer. The UA-25 is compact enough to travel anywhere you can take your computer.

It is designed using high-grade aluminum for the chassis, which offers two benefits: 1) The UA-25 can withstand hard impacts that are normally associated with traveling or working in the field, and 2) The aluminum is an excellent shield against high-frequency interference from other electrical components. The UA-25 is USB Powered, so you never have to plug it into a wall socket, but it manages to power condenser microphones with 48V Phantom Power. The Seasoned audio professional will love the UA-25 for its ability to output audio at +4dBu from the balanced 1/4” outputs, making it the best portable audio interface to pack between the field and the studio.

Have to listen in real time? Monitor Direct! The UA-25 includes a power set of direct monitor controls that allow you to route audio directly from the inputs to the outputs & the headphone jack, so you don’t have to listen with latency. You can turn direct monitoring on or off, adjust the relative volume of the input signal compared to the audio playing out from your computer, and even set the signal to monitor in MONO. Why MONO? Two reasons: 1) If you plug a microphone into the left input and want to hear it in both headphones, you want to have your direct monitor set to MONO. 2) If you’re afraid of phasing issues between your two inputs, you can hear the phasing issues by monitoring in MONO.

The best reason to consider the UA-25 as the best audio interface to use in the field is the inclusion of an analog mild compressor built into the interface. This allows a little more discrepancy in setting the microphone levels and allows the user more freedom from audio clipping. If your first take is your only chance, you DON”T want to get caught without this feature and the UA-25 is the only USB-powered stereo audio interface in the market that offers it. Add in 24-bit/96kHz audio performance, MIDI I/O, S/P DIF Optical I/O, and Neutrix XLR/TRS Inputs with High-grade microphone preamps, and the UA-25 is everything you need to get superb audio to and from your computer.

Yet another important consideration in choosing your audio interface is driver stability! And Edirol is #1 when it comes to stable drivers for our Audio Interfaces. With ASIO2.0, WDM, MME, and CoreAudio support, the UA-25 offers a wide variety of support for both Mac & PC.

Hidden little extras: The UA-25 also has the ability to reroute out-going audio signals back to the input without crossing into the analog domain. Why is this useful, you ask? If you are streaming audio from the internet, most applications won’t allow you to record the audio directly. But if you run it out of your sound card & back to an input, you have an audio signal that you route to any recording application you like. The UA-25 allows you to do this without requiring you to make a physical connection with a cable, and most impressively, without leaving the digital domain.
