Roland Announces Super UA Audio Interface for High-Resolution Personal Music Production

Roland launched the Super UA, a high-performance USB 2.0 audio interface with 1-bit DSD and 32-bit PCM playback, with up to four simultaneous channels of 24-bit PCM recording and a high-performance headphone amplifier with two outputs. The Super UA features an impressive die-cast metal design with detachable breakout module.

As promised back in October 2014, music software and hardware developer Arturia unveiled its new AudioFuse advanced audio interface, which the French company claims sets a new standard in audio quality and workflow for musicians. The introduction was a major highlight for Arturia at the 2015 NAMM Show.

During the 2015 NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA, Focusrite surprised with an expansion of its range of affordable audio interfaces, this time with Thunderbolt connectivity. The new Clarett units are said to be the “fastest Thunderbolt interfaces in the world” by the British manufacturer.

The new MOTU 1248, 8M and 16A audio interfaces provide Thunderbolt or high-speed USB 2.0 (compatible with USB 3.0), on-board DSP with mixing and effects, supporting a flexible 48-input digital mixer with dynamics modeled from British consoles. The new MOTU audio recording interfaces are also the first to use AVB audio networking for large multichannel configurations.
