JoeCo Cello USB Audio Interface

Full Description

384kHz Best-In-Its-Class Audio Fidelity

This remarkable new audio interface combines analog grit and warmth with cutting-edge technology. The thing that sets the Cello apart from other interfaces is the best-in-it-class audio fidelity. The interface can record at sample rates ranging up to 384kHz, resulting in unparalleled sound reproduction and sonic imaging.

The 22 input, 4 output interface combines high-end audio performance with classic design. The JoeCo Cello features two microphones inputs powered by discrete analog mic preamps with 80dB gain. It also includes dedicated buttons for the hi-pass filter, pad and phase reverse, allowing you to customise the performance of your interface for various sound sources and recording applications.

Custom Adaptive Conversion Technology

The Cello Audio Interface utilises in-house technology to offer new ADC and DAC filtering options. The custom Adaptive Conversion technology allows you to toggle between different sample rates and recording sources with ease. He exclusive new Top+ algorithm delivers high-end sparkle, providing added energy and expanse JoeCo’s renowned clocking algorithms have also been rewritten and adapted to the Cello interface.

Analog Warmth & Grit

The analog front end captures classic analog warmth blended with exceptional precision. The combination of analog and digital technology helps to bridge the gap between digital clarity and classic grittiness. The mic preamps utilise analog preamps to bring out the best from your microphones. The fully analog signal path provides exceptionally clean signal without any digital interference.

Integrated Talkback Microphone and Monitor Controls

The compact interface also includes an integrated talkback mic. The talkback mic is handy for communicating with musicians whilst recording, allowing you to give feedback and direction. He versatile monitor controls. You can also customise your setting with the JoeCoControl interface, providing comprehensive monitoring control. You can use the custom software to control most parameters and provide you with visual monitoring that you can use alongside your DAW.

Compact, Robust Design with Versatile Connectivity

The compact yet robust design features a sleek all-metal construction, utilising premium-grade components and controls for optimal durability. It provides insert points in both the mic channels for use with outboard equipment. It also includes S/PDIF and 16 channels of ADAT Lightpipe for use with external preamps. The mastering-grade monitor outputs provide optimal performance and can also be used with external wordclock.
