E-MU Systems MICRODOCK-M

E-MU's MicroDock M is a Mastering-grade Audio/MIDI Interface Expander that allows you to add a host of analog and digital I/O to your 1212M PCI Digital Audio System. The MicroDock M connects to the E-MU 02 CardBus Card or the E-MU 1010 PCI card (non-firewire version) using the included E-MU EDI (E-MU Digital Interface) cable. The MicroDock M offers Musicians, Engineers and Sound Designers a perfect way to connect any professional or semi-professional audio device to your computer with the highest possible sound quality!
