Miglia Technology announces HarmonyAudio for Windows OS
Miglia’s HarmonyAudio, combining high-quality audio conversion with incredible ease of use, now runs on Windows, too
Miglia Technology, a leading manufacturer of video, audio and storage products for Mac and Windows, announced that its successful HarmonyAudio FireWire audio interface now runs under Windows XP, as well as Mac OS X, simply by downloading and installing a small (907KB) driver file. With its FireWire interface for maximum bandwidth, HarmonyAudio lets you record your real instrument or take audio from any analogue audio source.
Simon Ellson, CEO Miglia Technology, commented: “HarmonyAudio is a great solution for anyone in a band, or a home user who wants to turn a PC into an audio recording studio. Miglia is also the first manufacturer to ship an audio capture unit powered by Oxford Semiconductor, widely acknowledge as the leader in FireWire technology. The success of HarmonyAudio in the Macintosh World led us to look harder at the wider market, this driver update for Windows is the result”.
Fully plug-and-play, HarmonyAudio requires no software driver installation on the Mac and works straight out of the box with your guitar, bass, keyboard and microphone. Existing users can also download the Windows driver from Miglia’s website, enabling them to run HarmonyAudio under Windows as well as Mac OS. Under Mac OS, audio can be recorded straight into GarageBand, LogicAudio, LogicExpress, or any other Core Audio application.
The two analogue line-ins and eight analogue line-outs let you play your instrument straight through HarmonyAudio and out of your SRS 2.1 up to 7.1 system.
Best of all, HarmonyAudio includes Miglia’s exclusive SoftClip technology, which prevents digital clipping and retains the authenticity of the analogue audio stream.
