Gina3G

Gina3G is the third generation of our budget priced, professional quality digital audio recorder. The original Gina premiered in 2000 to critical acclaim and since then we've been perfecting the art of making high quality digital audio recording products at affordable prices. The Gina3G brings you the best features of the Gina24, but with better digital audio converters, dual mic preamps, and MIDI I/O.

Gina3G is perfect for the budget-minded musician who wants to get into digital audio recording without sacrificing quality for price. You won't need an audio mixer or studio monitors to get started here. Gina3G has all you need: 2 universal inputs with mic preamps, 6 balanced analog outputs, and a headphone output. ADAT lightpipe I/O, optical and coaxial S/PDIF I/O, and MIDI I/O are also included; so as your studio grows, Gina3G will be able to work with all your new gear. It comes with a 8' cable and PCI card that connects to the audio interface. Gina3G is compatible with PCI and PCI-X (3.3 or 5 volt) motherboards.
