Steinberg unveils MR816 CSX and MR816 X Advanced Integration
FireWire interfaces
Complete production solution with first-class FireWire I/O, DSP power
and total integration into Cubase previewed at Musikmesse 2008
Hamburg/Frankfurt, March 12 2007 _ Steinberg Media Technologies
GmbH today presented a technical preview of two new FireWire I/O
DSP studios: MR816 CSX and MR816 X. Designed by Steinberg and
Yamaha, both units feature unprecedented integration into Cubase,
and offer a full range of audio I/O options and onboard DSP with the
renowned REV-X reverb. MR816 CSX also offers the acclaimed Sweet
Sport Morphing Channel Strip plug-in, with both DSP effects available
as a VST3 plug-in in Cubase. The new units will support Mac OS X,
Windows XP and Windows Vista, and will ship in Q3 2008.
_These qualitatively outstanding units represent a departure from the
traditional relationship between hardware and software,_ comments
Helge Vogt, Steinberg_s Product Marketing Manager for Cubase.
_Fusing directly into Cubase at core level, the new units combine with
Steinberg_s renowned Music Production System to offer a complete
production solution comprising a first-class software DAW, outstanding
FireWire I/O and high-quality DSP FX. The beauty of this system is
that all these aspects of functionality are unified, so all aspects are
controlled from within Cubase. This allows an extremely efficient and
ergonomic workflow that we believe will set new standards,_ Vogt
continues.

computer offers:
- True Integrated Monitoring_: no latency, DSP-powered FX*
