Hello,
My name is Allen Rowand, and I work for Metric Halo; I heard about the board from Peter Schneider from Gotham Sound, as well as Graham Gardner. We get a lot of input on our products from them, as well as Darren Brisker, Paul Ledford and others.
I wanted to let you know that we're introducing a new interface, the LIO-8. It's built with the same sonic quality as our flagship ULN-8, but leaves out the mic pres and +DSP license (it includes the basic 2d plug-in bundle with M/S decoding, a channelstrip with gate/EQ/comp, etc). I think it's a great choice for cart based work; you get 8 channels of top quality A/D, 10 channels of top quality D/A, built in analog split, 8 channels of AES, dedicated SMPTE I/O, DC power via 4 pin XLR and more.
The virtual mixer inside the interface is very flexible; you can create multiple mixes (and control them with a Eucon or MCU compatible control surface) inside the interface for near-zero latency monitoring. Audio routing is flexible- channels and busses can be routed to outputs pre or post insert; this makes it easy to put DSP on an IEM mix, but track dry. Or track wet and dry simultaneously if you'd like, for more options in post.
I've attached the press release for the LIO-8, and more info on our products can be found at http://mhlabs.com/metric_halo/. Feel free to get in touch with me at allen@mhsecure.com if you have any questions or comments- we're interested to learn how we can be a better fit for location recordists.
Best regards,
Allen
