AD converter built in instrument cable.

And package includes 1/4” to Dual 1/4” Female Splitter! That means you can connect your bass to amp and computer simultaneously. Nice for monitoring when recording.

I should check this out.

"1M Ohms is the input impedance but it handles a line level input very well. I use it everyday darn near connected to an ST802 and it performs quietly and flawlessly."

Of course, you can always decrease input volume with Windows mixer.

I've ordered it from Music123. But I live in Korea, so I should wait about 2 -3 weeks for delivery :crying:

They are developing 24bit and stereo version now. Is there any detectable difference between 24 bit and 16 bit resolution when you convert analog to digital? CD is 16bit...

The specs say it has a +20db boost. Could you, possibly, fry something in your pc with an active pickup? Would you have to use a passive bass?:confused:

Looks like a great deal though.

No. The cable contains its own analog to digital converter. Basically, the stuff in the cable is what "listens" to your bass, and then it describes it to the computer through the USB port. Rather than getting a plain boosted signal, the computer gets a list of values. The boost will make the numbers it gets higher.

Does anyone know if this is just a basic USB audio device? I'm interested in this, but I'd need it to work under Linux.

It most likely is. I have an Edirol UA-1A that is pretty much the same thing, except it's a stereo input and probably has a lower input impedance. You may shoot an e-mail to the people who make it and see if they know if it will work in linux.
