Chicago, IL - November 6th, 2008 - CEntrance, Inc., the manufacturer
of MicPort® Pro, the USB mic
preamp used by leading voiceover talent and broadcasters worldwide, has
started shipping its second product - the AxePort®
Pro USB Direct Box. Ideal for guitar and bass players who want to
quickly record a musical idea on the go, AxePort Pro also allows you to
jam with plug-ins or practice silently using headphones. AxePort Pro has
a suggested US retail price of $199.95, and MAP of $149.95.
In a world where travel is increasingly expensive, AxePort Pro allows
you to play with musicians located thousands of miles away. Plug into
any computer, record your part and send it to be mixed. Offering a low-noise
Hi-Z preamp, 24-bit 96kHz audio quality and a professional USB interface
AxePort Pro unleashes creativity for guitar and bass players everywhere.
AxePort Pro gives you a complete package for recording with most DAW software
on the market. It is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, Mac OS X 10.4
and above, and even many versions of LINUX. A wide gain range accommodates
active and passive pickups and makes AxePort Pro compatible with almost
any musical instrument with a magnetic or piezo pickup, including acoustic
guitars with an on-board preamp.
Studio musicians will appreciate AxePort Pro's compact size, rugged aluminum
chassis and no need for an external power supply - all power is drawn
from the USB port. Add a very loud headphone amp, dedicated knobs for
input and output level control, and professional-grade A-to-D conversion,
yet - it easily fits into a shirt pocket.
By far the best feature of AxePort Pro is its unique "wet/dry"
slider in the Universal Driver software control panel for Mac and Windows,
which allows you to mix the "dry" zero-latency input signal
with the "wet" return from your DAW including effects plug-ins.
Because virtual amplifier and effects plug-ins introduce a noticeable
amount of audio delay, you can blend between the direct input - which has
zero delay - and the DAW output to balance the amplifier tone in a way that
minimizes software latency and allows easier performance and recording.
AxePort Pro comes with a 1GB CEntrance USB flash drive, containing REAPER
multitrack recording software from Cockos, Oligarc guitar effects plug-ins
from Stillwell Audio, and the CEntrance ASIO/GSIF Universal Driver™.
The AxePort Pro package also includes a handy clip for the belt or guitar
strap, a 6 ft. (3m) USB cable, and a velvet carrying pouch. For more information,
