General

Roland's UA-1610 Studio-Capture is a powerful audio interface that can record no less than 16 channels simultaneously. Twelve of these channels are fitted with a combined jack/XLR input with a high-grade VS-PREAMP. The UA-1610 enables you to send out eight separate analogue channels, each with its own software-controlled monitor mix. It is equipped with MIDI and S/PDIF connectors. The sound level of each input channel and the master channel is displayed by the built-in meter bridge. Additional information can be found on the 128 by 64-pixel LCD display.

The VS PREAMP of the UA-1610 Studio-Capture

The UA-1610 is equipped with the same digitally controlled microphone preamplifiers as Roland's V-Studio 700. They are fitted with 12 phantom-powered, combined inputs, a low-pass filter, phase reversal and a digital compressor. They are also equipped with the unique AUTO-SENS function, which automatically selects the optimal input level for each preamp. As such, there is no need to endlessly adjust and clip the incoming signal yourself during your recording sessions. You'll have more time to focus on other matters!

Super-fast and stable audio drivers

Roland's interfaces are known for their stability, in combination with both Windows and OS X systems. Latency can be minimised, which is great if you are working with many virtual instruments or real-time plug-ins. Of course, this does require a clever computer that is able to process all the data. If the sixteen inputs of the UA-1610 Studio-Capture are not enough for you, it is possible to connect a second UA-1610 unit to your setup.

Roland UA-1610 Studio-Capture USB 2.0 audio interface
Wrote the following about Roland UA-1610 Studio-Capture USB 2.0 audio interface
Ik heb deze interface nu ruim een half jaar in bezit en heb er nu voldoende ervaring om er iets zinnigs over te zeggen.

Van een twee kanaals M-Audio naar een Roland. Deze interface aangeschaft om een hele band live in één keer mee op te kunnen nemen. Ik was van te voren nogal huiverig of ik echt wel meer dan 10 kanalen over een USB bus een laptop in kon krijgen. Als je een beetje fitte laptop hebt is dat echter geen enkel probleem. De Pre-amps zijn wel een heel verschil met mijn oude M-Audio. Veel levendiger, helderder en sprankelender. Ik zit nu echt voor mijn plezier met mijn bas rechtstreeks in de interface omdat het geluid zo goed is.

Het apparaat heeft een oneindig scala aan mogelijkheden maar is toch redelijk eenvoudig te doorgronden en in te zetten. Het loont de moeite om je er even goed in te verdiepen en thuis alvast pre-sets te maken voor je mixer instellingen van de interface en je DAW. Kom je daarna aan in je oefenruimte en sluit je alles aan zoals van te voren bedacht dan sta je binnen een half uur al op te nemen mede dankzij de auto-sense functie die tijdens de soundcheck even alle volumes goed instelt. Wij hebben tot nu steeds direct veel beter klinkende opnames gemaakt met minimale inspanningen.

Even de plussen minnen op een rijtje:
+ De Pre-amps klinken bijzonder goed
+ De auto sense functie is geweldig, bespaart je enorm veel tijd.
+ De mogelijkheden en flexibiliteit. Het kan heel simpel en snel maar ook ingewikkelder scenario's kan dit apparaat aan.
+ De interface is via de PC bijzonder goed af te regelen en in te stellen.
+ Werkt probleemloos samen met Win7/Win10. Installatie van drivers was een eitje.

- De interface is eigenlijk alleen via de PC goed in te stellen. Via de interface zelf is het vooral een hoop gepiel .
- Je hebt er altijd een PC bij nodig. Heb je al een snelle PC dan is deze interface een absolute aanrader. Moet je ook nog een PC erbij kopen dan lopen de kosten voor interface en PC samen wel aardig op en zijn er wellicht goedkopere alternatieven.

De interface is wellicht iets duurder dan alternatieve interfaces maar is dat in mijn ogen echt dubbel en dwars waard. Hij klinkt geweldig en is supergemakkelijk in het gebruik. Een absolute aanrader!

Dit was niet de eerste geluidskaart waar ik mee gewerkt heb (o.a. Profire 2626) maar het is werkelijk een perfect apparaat. Drivers installeren en draaien maar.... De geluidskwaliteit is zeer goed en hij is gebruiksvriendelijk. Ik schrok van de omvang, hij is nogal klein maar schijn bedriegt.
De autosense functie is een verademing als je snel in wilt stellen, het scheelt heel veel tijd.

Roland heeft met dit product een professioneel apparaat bereikbaar gemaakt voor de amateur die meer wil.

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.

The Studio 192 is an impressively elaborate audio interface, but it's a bit too big for most mobile applications. That's why, at NAMM 2016, Presonus is introducing the Studio 192 Mobile.
