$120 includes shipping costs to US only.

Reliable Switch Box - flexibly expandable
The 19“ rackmounted AMT8 is tailored to meet the needs of the "tapeless“ studio. Logic‘s AMT (Active MIDI Transmission) technology offers incredibly precise timing for each of the AMT8‘s 8 Inputs and Outputs. The AMT8 offers a variety of connection types – including USB, RS232 and RS422 – making it suitable for use with any computer, in any studio.

Detailed Information:

Computer Mode or Stand Alone
An Emagic interface system will continue to serve as the switchboard of your equipment set-up, even without the computer connected. Up to 32 freely programmable routing configurations (patches), can be recalled with a program change command. In the unlikely event of notes sticking while in patch mode, the front panel panic button will quickly fix the problem.

Details:

Stackable and Compatible
The AMT8 is fully compatible with any standard MIDI software under Mac and Windows 95/98 (drivers for Windows NT and Windows 2000 are in development). With its full set of connectors such as USB for Mac and Windows, RS232 (Windows) and RS422 (Mac), the AMT8 quickly fits into any computer environment. Up to eight* devices can be stacked and they will function like one big 64x64 MIDI interface (Mac: Emagic software or Unitor8 OMS driver required) with AMT** technology to ensure razor-sharp timing on every port. AMT8 and the Unitor8 can be combined in any combination; this allows, for example, the connection of a Unitor8 without USB to a computer with USB via an AMT8. * Mac: up to 192 MIDI ports (using 2 serial ports and USB). Windows 95: limited to 11 MIDI Ports. Windows 98: 64 MIDI Ports. ** AMT only with compatible software.

Active MIDI Transmission is an Emagic innovation that provides a measurable, and more importantly, audible improvement of MIDI timing. Here's how we achieved this new level of timing precision: A segment of the sequencing engine of AMT compatible software, (e.g. Logic Audio), is put into the MIDI interface, (AMT8 or Unitor8 MkII), where it takes care of sending the MIDI events to the individual outputs with the highest possible timing accuracy. At the same time, the transfer of data from the computer to the interface is optimized with extreme efficiency by sending notes in parcels during the pauses between the musical events. These parcels are then unpacked in the interface and sent to the individual outputs at precisely the required time. Discover for yourself why the audible difference in timing has gotten the professional world so excited about AMT technology
