Back to discontinued products

The original Mia has been discontinued. The MiaMidi is still available for purchase. Some information on this page may no longer be up-to-date.

If you're serious about digital audio, you shouldn't settle for anything less than a truly professional audio interface.... and now with Mia you don't have to. Mia offers a pair of balanced 1/4 inch analog inputs and outputs and operates at the +4dBu levels used by pro-audio gear. It combines this with 24-bit/96kHz converters and 106 dB of dynamic range for the quality your recordings deserve. Also included is a S/PDIF digital audio interface for connecting to other digital audio equipment.

A unique feature of Mia is the use of "virtual" outputs. Mia appears to software as if it has eight separate outputs, which are digitally mixed down to the physical outputs using Mia's "console" software and its on-board DSP. This makes Mia compatible with all popular multi-track software. And, with Echo's "multi-client" drivers, more than one application (such as an editor and software synth) can be playing back through Mia at the same time.
