Suggest me an Audio Interface?

  • My problem is a little difficult.... XD


    I need an Audio Interface, More like a Rack I guess that can accept S/PDIF from my computer
    But also have an S/PDIF output and 1/4 Jack Outputs for L and R. AND Not run on the computer, No USB
    stuff ( unless it's only for power Because I have a soundcard installed already and need something
    to simply accept a SPDIF, output to my speakers through 1/4 jacks And also have an S/PDIF to output
    to the device Im already using for my headphones ).


    Maybe a Mixer is what im thinking of?

  • I´d love to get in on this suggestions thing (if thats ok, op?). I´d need something with S/PDIF connections for parallel DI and Wet recording with usb connections to the PC, price range should be low (poor student).

    This is what I have. Only like $100 or so, maybe a little more.

    Comes with digital mixer software so you can route, send and return effects.
    Also has multiple inputs. SPDIF input and output, 2 1/4 jack inputs and outputs.
    So you can run your kemper in wet spdif to moniter it, Dry through a 1/4 jack to record
    and send either a 1/4 or spdif back to the kemper for reamping.


    Leaving 2 /14 jacks for output L/R for speakers Or a SPDIF depending on what you ren back tot he kemper.
    I run the 1/4 to the kemper and leave the spdif for my headphones because my VRM room sim thing only uses it.

  • I have one of these, use it with my laptop sometimes. Works fine with the Kemper's S/PDIF in and out.

    I have the same interface and there is no S/PIDF on there. Do you maybe mean the 144 mk2?

    So you don't want to be able to record what you are playing?


    You should really think into getting a complete external interface that replaces your sound card. Otherwise it will get a bit complicated and maybe expensive.

    I have a sound card. An Emu 0404. I need something that can receive and SPDIF AND has a SPDIF out plus two 1/4 jack outs for my speakers. My Sound card is set up so the Kemper
    Inputs SPDIF and receives through a 1/4 jack for reamping. Thus the Kemper takes one of my 1/4 outputs ( L or R ). I can't hook my SPDIF out to the Kemper because it is needed for my Focusrite VRM
    Box that requires a SPDIF. I need something That takes a SPDIF and has an SPDIF out so I can hook both my speakers And My box up and don't have to keep reaching behind everything and redoing it every time I need to listen to something through my VRM.

  • I personally use an M-Audio Profire 610, but I always recommend Focusrite products to people. In your case, I'd recommend a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 (USB, SPDIF in/out). It can be had for around $250 USD. Focusrite makes great products, the only reason I am using an M-Audio is because I bought it a long time ago and refuse to buy another interface, hah. Anyway, check out the Scarlett 6i6 here; http://us.focusrite.com/usb-audio-interfaces/scarlett-6i6

    Thats the problem. I do NOT need something that acts as an Interface . I have a sound card already. I just need something that accepts SPDIF so I can hook my speakers up from my PC And Has an SPDIF output so I don't have to keep unplugging my Headphone amp ( VRM box ) every single time I want to use my headphones and room sim.


    My Sound card Only has 2, 1/4 outputs and 1 spdif output. I can't hook my speakers up to the 2 1/4 outputs because the Kemper Takes up one of them with the SPDIF Input for reamping. So I need something that accepts a SPDIF cable and routes the sound. I Need the SPDIF output because thats the only thing the VRM accepts and it would be stupid to sit around unplugging an interface and plugging it back in every time I need to switch. Plus everything is routed just fine that allows me to reamp and monitor.


    THIS is what I need
