FYI: SoundTech releases LightSnake for XLR

This LightSnake cable is a XLR microphone to USB cable which is ideal for vocal recording or Podcasting. The LightSnake microphone cable is basically a “sound card on a cable” and with this cable you can record audio directly onto your computer. Connect the XLR connect of the LightSnake cable to your microphone and then connect the USB end to one of your computers USB ports.

This is a true USB plug-n-play connection. No additional drivers are needed for the following operating systems – Win 98 SE / Win ME / Win 2000 /Win XP and Mac OS9 / OS X. An ASIO driver is forthcoming for recording software that implements this technology.

An embedded 16 Bit Analog to Digital Converter with audio signal boost ensures extremely low audio loss and 48/44.1 KHz Sampling Rate provides you with high audio quality while recording. The HSDL (Host Side Data Loss) Noise Reduction function prevents any unwanted noise when converting the audio signal to digital format and saving to your computer.
