Price Cut on EZbus and new Rebate Program OfferedAug 08, 2002 In a series of moves designed to make the EZbus available to an even wider audience, Event Electronics announced two programs that make the final cost of the unit substantially lower than before. The first program implements a new suggested list price of $749-a full $100 lower than the original price. The second program, dubbed Summer Rebate Madness, offers customers a $150 factory-direct rebate when they purchase both an EZbus and the companion EZ8 Optical Audio Interface. Together, these programs allow end-users to assemble a multitrack computer audio recording system for an estimated street price of only $599. The EZbus suggested list price reduction is effective immediately. The Summer Rebate Madness program runs until September 15th, 2002. Users who purchase the EZbus / EZ8 combo can download the rebate form from Event's Web site, www.event1.com; Rebate checks will be mailed directly to the customer from Event. The EZbus is a combination computer audio recording interface, software control surface, and stand-alone digital mixer. The unit provides 24-bit/96kHz audio and control over a variety of popular music software applications. When the EZbus is paired with the EZ8 Optical Audio Interface, a PCI card with ADAT lightpipe I/O, the number of discrete tracks users can simultaneously record and play back with their computers is greatly expanded. Connections between the EZbus and the EZ8 are made entirely in the digital domain via fiber optic cables, so the sonic integrity-i.e., S/N ratio, dynamic range, and THD+n-of the source signals are precisely maintained. The EZ8 is also ideally suited for use with stand-alone A/D converters, digital mixers, and other lightpipe-equipped devices. The EZbus and EZ8 are part of a suite of three audio devices, collectively known as the EZbus Audio System Plus, comprising the EZbus, the EZ8, and the EMP-8 Eight-Channel Digital Microphone Preamplifier. The system provides computer-based recording musicians with a wide range of high-quality analog and digital I/O, comprehensive software control over music applications and MIDI devices, and versatile audio mixing, processing, and routing capabilities.
