OVERVIEW
The Edirol UA-25 is the ideal mid-priced USB/ MIDI interface to serve as the hub for your home or mobile studio. The UA-25 will give you high-end features and performance in a moderately priced, compact package. The most obvious feature of the UA-25 is the metal casing, a feature usually reserved for high-end components. In addition to impact protection, the aluminum casing will shield out audio interference. For those who demand high quality audio, the UA-25 offers premium quality sound with powerful analog electronics, quality digital converters, and numerous inputs and outputs including high quality balanced 1/4" outputs. Edirol products are comparably of higher quality than its competitors, and this particular model marks a clear choice in the mid price range for interfaces.

KEY FEATURES
Two High Quality Mic Preamps: Includes a pair of high quality microphone preamps using premium analog components. It provides a clean recording environment to give a perfect recording.

Built-in Analog Limiter: Reduce sudden overloaded sounds or popping noises in your recordings.

Wide Variety of I/O Ports: Wide range of input and output ports in a compact case. A pair of Neutrix XLR/TRS combo jacks with Phantom power, Hi-Z port for guitar direct connection, S/P DIF optical I/O ports and MIDI IN/OUT ports.

Zero Latency, Direct Monitoring: The UA-25 provides ultra low latency with maximum performance from popular music software, such as Sonar, Logic and Cubase. You can control Direct Monitoring from the front panel. Ideal for soft synths controlled from MIDI devices.

USB Bus Powered: No need for an AC adaptor. In combination with your laptop, you get a quality field recorder.

OUR OPINION
If you want to step up from entry level USB interfaces, the Edirol UA-25 should be one of the first you consider. With all its advanced home studio features (premium sound, mic pre-amp, balanced outs, limiter) and portable features (metal casing, USB powered), the UA is the most versatile interface we carry. Overall, there are few to no competitors in this price range with the features and sound quality of the UA-25. A strong buy.
