Alesis announces that its series of AudioLink USB audio cables are now in stores. The AudioLink series includes GuitarLink, a quarter-inch-jack-to-USB cable; MicLink, an XLR3-to-USB cable; and LineLink, a dual-quarter-inch-jack-to-USB cable.

The AudioLink series of USB audio cables enables musicians to connect analog audio sources directly to their computer and record them on a standard USB jack. Each cable outputs studio quality 16-bit, 44.1 kHz digital audio thanks to its internal analog-to-digital conversion system. The AudioLink series features plug-and-play connection for Mac and PC and is compatible with most Mac and Windows class-compliant drivers and software. All models are 16.5 feet in length.

GuitarLink enables musicians to directly connect nearly any guitar, bass or line-level audio source to USB for mono recording; MicLink enables them to direct-connect any dynamic microphone to USB for mono recording; and LineLink enables them to direct connect nearly any mixer, keyboard, sampler, sequencer, drum machine or other stereo, line-level audio source to USB for stereo recording.

"Sometimes you just want to record a single source quickly," said Adam Cohen, Director of Business Development, Alesis. "The AudioLink series eliminates the need for complicated interfaces, preamplifiers, analog-to-digital converters and all of the hassle, noise and signal loss that come with all those links in the audio chain."

MicLink and LineLink have suggested retail prices of $79.00 and are available in stores for approximately $49.00.
