  • The UA-25 can withstand hard impacts that are normally associated with traveling or working in the field.

  • The aluminum is an excellent shield against high-frequency interference from other electrical components.

Key Features:

  • Solid Aluminum Chassis - Portable and Durable

  • Premium Audio Quality

  • Wide Variety of I/O Ports

  • Built-in Analog Limiter

  • Zero Latency, Direct Monitoring

  • USB-Powered Phantom Power Preamps

  • +4 dBu Output for professional application

SKU: EDIUA25

The UA-25 is USB Powered, so you never have to plug it into a wall socket, but it manages to power condenser microphones with 48V Phantom Power. The Seasoned audio professional will love the UA-25 for its ability to output audio at +4dBu from the balanced 1/4" outputs, making it the best portable audio interface to pack between the field and the studio.

The UA-25 includes a power set of direct monitor controls that allow you to route audio directly from the inputs to the outputs & the headphone jack, so you don’t have to listen with latency. You can turn direct monitoring on or off, adjust the relative volume of the input signal compared to the audio playing out from your computer, and even set the signal to monitor in MONO.

So, what is so great about MONO?  Firstly, if you plug a microphone into the left input and want to hear it in both headphones, you want to have your direct monitor set to MONO.  Also, if you’re afraid of phasing issues between your two inputs, you can hear the phasing issues by monitoring in MONO.

The best reason to consider the UA-25 as the best audio interface to use in the field is the inclusion of an analog mild compressor built into the interface. This allows a little more discrepancy in setting the microphone levels and allows the user more freedom from audio clipping.

If your first take is your only chance, you DON”T want to get caught without this feature and the UA-25 is the only USB-powered stereo audio interface in the market that offers it. Add in 24-bit/96kHz audio performance, MIDI I/O, S/P DIF Optical I/O, and Neutrix XLR/TRS Inputs with High-grade microphone preamps, and the UA-25 is everything you need to get superb audio to and from your computer.

If you are worried about driver stability, just remember that Edirol is #1 when it comes to stable drivers for our Audio Interfaces. With ASIO2.0, WDM, MME, and CoreAudio support, the UA-25 offers a wide variety of support for both Mac & PC.

The UA-25 also has the ability to reroute out-going audio signals back to the input without crossing into the analog domain. Why is this useful, you ask? If you are streaming audio from the internet, most applications won’t allow you to record the audio directly. But if you run it out of your sound card & back to an input, you have an audio signal that you route to any recording application you like. The UA-25 allows you to do this without requiring you to make a physical connection with a cable, and most impressively, without leaving the digital domain.

Product Details:

Solid Aluminum Chassis - Portable and Durable:

  • All of Edirol's latest audio interface technology is condensed into the compact UA-25, giving the user the highest performance 24-bit/96kHz recording and playback via USB.

Premium Audio Quality:

  • The UA-25 uses powerful analog electronics coupled with well-matched A/D & D/A converters for superior audio fidelity.

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.

Balanced I/O Ports:

  • The UA-25 generates low-noise and has a wide-range power supply all via USB. Thanks to this, the UA-25 gives +4 dBu balanced professional audio input and output connections.

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. You can often get overloaded levels while recording on the fly. With this switch set, you can still achieve a high quality sound while retaining a wide dynamic range. The side diagram shows the Limiter characteristics.

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, not only for ASIO 2.0 compatible applications but also for others. Ideal for soft synths controlled from MIDI devices.

Driver Compatibility (WDM, ASIO2.0, and CoreAudio):

  • The bundled CD-ROM has drivers for WDM (Windows XP/2000)/ASIO2.0 (Windows, Mac OS 9) and CoreAudio(Mac OS X). In addition, you can choose to use either the advanced or OS-standard driver, via the ADV switch. Sound Manager for Audio and OMS/FreeMIDI compatible on Mac OS 9 and Windows98 and Me, as well.

USB Bus Powered:

  • Just connect one USB cable. No need for an AC adaptor. In combination with your laptop, you get a quality field recorder. The UA-25 is the audio interface for mobile users - ideal for the traveling musician.
