General

As the Maya44 has been updated after a long time, so should the Gigaport HD. This is why the Gigaport + has been developed, an interface based on the Maya44 interface. It has different properties however, for instead of 4 inputs and 4 outputs, this interface has 8 separately assignable outputs! The cherry on top is this interface's ability to support 7.1 surround sound, which can also benefit your home-made cinema system. The audio is processed in good quality, in 24-bit, 96 kHz.

Roadproof construction and connectors of the Gigaport HD+

The Gigaport HD+ is equipped with the same roadproof casing as the Maya44+. This makes the interface perfect for mobile productions, but thanks to the stylish design it won't look out of place at home. The Gigaport HD+ is equipped with 8 separate line outputs at the back, plus two headphone outputs on the front via 6.35mm jacks. One is to pre-listen to channel 1 and 2, the other connectors consists of a mix of all 8 separate channels. The various indication LEDs offer you an optimal oversight of the active channels. In no time, they trace possible cable errors or defects.

Software information about the audio interface

The Gigaport HD+ can be installed easily as it will hardly give you any work at all. Thanks to the ASIO 2.0 drivers, the interface works stably in 32 and 64-bit systems, but it also works native with OS X without any special drivers. The stable workings of the interface is what the other ESI interfaces were also well known for. It supports the most important DJ and producer software, so that you can always use your favourite program.

ESI Gigaport HD+ USB audio interface

In use for several months now. Excellent machine, small, usb powered, “just works” on Windows and Linux. Seems well made and robust. Have been using it to provide 8 channel sound for “Grand Orgue” and “Hauptwerke” pipe organ emulators, and it has not presented me with any problems at all. Also work with Sibelius and other sound sources.

Ik was op zoek naar een apparaat dat de uitvoer van mijn daw naar verschillende sporen kon leiden. De meeste di’s zijn gericht op verschillende input’s en bieden de output functie enkel aan in het duurdere segment. De ESI Gigaport werkt perfect voor de toepassing die ik nodig heb en is heel scherp geprijsd.

Ook een uitstekende service van Bax Music!

Cette mini carte son 8 sorties fonctionne très bien avec mac OSX el capitan et windows 10(+driver).

Pas de problème pour gérer 6 sorties séparées en même temps. Au delà, je ne sais pas.

Testée pendant 8 heures d'affiler pour diffuser en boucle une même bande son mono sur 6 sorties et elle était à peine tiède :-)

Malgré sa taille, ce produit a l'air robuste et professionnel.

Bon rapport qualité/prix.

Fjjn apparaat. Ik gebruik hem om met DJay Pro software mn 4 virtuele decks via external mixer mode uit te sturen naar 8 kanalen op mijn mixer. Werkt prima.

Let wel op: op de foto van de achterkant lijkt het alsof het 8 jack aansluitingen zijn, maar het zijn 8 RCA/Tulp aansluitingen! Aan de voorkant zitten wel 2 Jacks.

Bonne interface stable et très compacte idéale pour mon utilisation multipiste avec un logiciel de régie de théatre (lightrégie).
Le seul défaut est la puissance des voyants qui sont carrément aveuglant dans le noir et créent trop de lumière parasite pour une régie de théatre. Problème résolu avec un bout de chaterton.

Prima apparaat om 4 decks van traktor (of serato/VDJ) naar een 4 channel externe mixer te sturen.
Niet geschikt voor in een club, maar voor de slaapkamer/hobby DJ een zeer geschikte en goedkope oplossing!

Heb hem nu 2 jaar, en best tevreden over de mogelijkheden van het apparaat!
Het enigste minpunt vind ik de usb poort aansluiting, die is niet zo stevig!

Verder, zoals altijd...prima service van Baxshop!

NAMM 2016: IK Multimedia's iKlip A/V - Top Sound Quality on Your Smartphone

Thursday 7 January 2016 By Richard | Bax Music

These days, films can be recorded entirely on smartphones, and some YouTubers are more famous than television presenters. The gap between professionals and amateurs is becoming smaller. Cameras on today's smartphones offer excellent image quality that is getting harder and harder to distinguish from 'the real thing'. Sound quality on smartphones, on the other hand, is an area that is still in need of some improvement. That's where the iKlip A/V from IK Multimedia comes in. It's a broadcast mount with an integrated microphone preamp that will add professional-quality sound to your smartphone footage.
