What it is
ULN-2 is the result of a dream to create a piece of audio gear that provides unbelievable audio quality while at
the same time offering a degree of mobility and convenience that until very recently was simply not possible.
The successful integration of world-class analog stages, excellent A/D/A conversion, and the amazing digital
mixing, routing and FireWire connectivity that has already made the Mobile I/O line famous, places the ULN-2
in a unique position among computer audio interfaces.
ULN-2 is a portable, high–quality, modular FireWire–based multi-format audio converter, interface, and pro-
cessor for professional audio applications. The ULN-2 is equipped with two balanced analog inputs on Neu-
trik™ combo connectors, two channels of Digital I/O (AES/EBU and S/PDIF), eight channels of Optical I/O
(switchable between ADAT and TOSLINK), two balanced analog outputs (1/4" TRS), two balanced monitor
outputs for connecting directly to power amps and self powered monitors, as well as wordclock in/out and
2 IEEE 1394 FireWire connectors that support 400 Mbs operation. All inputs and outputs are capable of 24-
bit/ 96kHz operation.
