Lightsnake makes recording easy

Posted on Nov 3, 06 02:27 AM PDT

Digital recording enthusiasts often struggle with changing their soundcards each time a new incarnation comes out - remember the days when we had to unplug our huge ISA 32-bit cards and switch to a smaller PCI card, only to be greeted by USB- and FireWire-based external modules later on? SoundTech feels out pain and decided to do away with such mindless hardware upgrades by introducing the Lightsnake. This device is really easy to use - just plug an XLR or TRS jack on one end of a cable and place a USB plug on the other. When your XLR/TRS end is hooked up to a mic, guitar, or keyboard and the other end to a computer, the sound will be converted from analog to digital via the Lightsnake's built-in converters. The only downside is 16-bit recording, but for $70 you can't really ask for the world. More specs are available after the jump. • Resolution: 16 bit 48/44.1Khz
• THD + N (-3dBr): -76.1 dB
• SNR: 83.1 dB
• Dynamic Range: 81.6 dB
• Input impedance: 1M Ohms
• Frequency Response 48KHz: 20 - 19.2K Hz
• Signal Input Range: 0 - 2.88 Vpp
• Signal Boost Gain: +20 dB
