What's up with te echo web site?

[adam]

you go to www.echoaudio.com and you get some web server company called star nine? What happened to the site? It has been like that for a few days now.

Try http://www.event1.com

[adam]

thanks. echoaudio.com is working again. for a week it was directing you to the wrong site.

Which brings up an interesting point. Somewhere along the line Echo seperated from Event. Echo makes the soundcards and cool edit software and Event makes the Rode mikes and 20/20 monitors. Am I correct in remembering them both under one umbrella?

[adam]

they were under the same organization but event no longer distributes echo. I am not that familiar with the history of the relationship between these 2 companies (i.e. was echo a separate company that distributed through event, or did echo start life as an event subsidiary and then get spun out). The way the news of the break between the 2 companies was announced it is likely they were always 2 separate companies.

Whichever way it works, I have a good representation of both product lines in my arsenal

[adam]

Cool. The reason I was looking into echo was i am really interested in Gina or Layla cards/breakout boxes. They seem great.

Adam,
Help me out a little bit here - I have a 20 bit darla that I like, but what is up with the new gina and layla 24bit 96k
huh?

Actually Rode mics, and Echo audio were, and are both compleatly different companies to Event Electronics; Event just distributes/destributed them.

[bball jones]

Thanks for the clarification omnipotent. These days it is hard to tell.

[omnipotent]

Any time,
The only way i knew about the mics was because their made down here, in Oz.
