Re: Why buy a 2500?

2002-10-22 by Jon

From the EMU spec sheets:

xx-7:
Data Encoding: 16-bit linear, 24-bit DAC's,
Signal to Noise: >100 dB
Frequency Response: 20-20,000Hz (+0.0/-0.1dB)
THD + Noise (DAC's): <0.002%
Power Consumption: 15 watts
Voltage Input: 90VAC – 260VAC at 50Hz – 60 Hz
Maximum Output Level: +6dBV
Output Impedance: 1000 Ohms

P2500:
Data Encoding: 16-bit linear, 24-bit DAC's,
Signal to Noise: >100 dB
Frequency Response: 20-20,000Hz (+0.0/-0.1dB)
THD + Noise (DAC's): <0.002%
Power Consumption: 15 watts
Voltage Input: 90VAC – 260VAC at 50Hz – 60 Hz
Maximum Output Level: +6dBV
Output Impedance: 1000 Ohms

Looks identical to me...
