This is only a board with two BNCs that will be connected to the red MicroMatch header next to the USB connector by a flatband ribbon cable.Discontinued The Affordable All-In-One Mobile Recording SuiteĪn international top-seller for years, Cakewalk’s UA series interfaces brought amazing value to computer-recording enthusiasts. What I have not connected yet is the wordclock I/O. With the given layout it is possible to make a 32in/32out interface with a 1U enclosure. That's why I have choosen this new layout. On each stack the expansion boards are daisy chained. You can make two stacks of 4 boards each. Expansion boards are connected by a flatband ribbon cable.
Thus, there is no difference to the planned release. Please note, to make prototyping a bit easier I have put the gerber files of the USB mainboard and of the two expansion boards on just one panel. All audio channels are balanced, connectors are Sub-D 25 with Tascam pin layout. On this prototype I have connected 2 analog IO expansion boards giving 16 analog input and 16 analog output channels. You can stack up to 8 expansion boards and use up to 32 input and 32 outputs channels. Today I have a picture of the finished and working prototype for you.
