JCF The Latte 2-Channel A/D - D/A Microphone Preamp

Two channel A/D and D/A converter. Two channel mic pre-amp. Tape machine repro electronics. High quality sample-rate conversion. Smooth taste.

The JCF Audio LATTE is a two channel analog to digital and digital to analog converter for audio. Using the LATTE’s D/A electronics block, the LATTE also works as a two channel microphone pre-amplifier. The A/D section is capable of concurrently capturing this signal to feed your favorite workstation. The LATTE can even serve as a very high quality digital sample rate conversion device. Love the sound of old tape machine electronics? The LATTE has the ability to reproduce audio from a low impedance head on your favorite 15 or 30 ips tape machine as well. Much like the fixins for your coffee, you can configure the LATTE any way you want, and it will always finish smooth.
