WNAMM08: DJ audio interface gets a revamp

ESI say that theU46 XL features their new aluminum / white product design, providing 4 input and 6 output channels in a stylish and compact box.
The microphone input supports +48V phantom power with a balanced XLR connector. There is also a guitar instrument input (Hi-Z) as well as an adjustable headphone output on the front. The rear panel features 6 output channels plus a separate mix output with TRS connectors.
The driver software includes the ESI DirectWIRE interface that allows the recording and routing of audio signals between various audio applications inside the system without using external cables. U46 XL is bundled with Cubase LE 4.0 from Steinberg.

Claus Riethmüller, Managing Director of ESI had this to say, "U46 XL adds TRS outputs, a high quality microphone preamp and an overall improvement of the circuitry compared to our famous and popular U46DJ. Of course it can be used by digital DJs but it can actually do much more."
