Het was al even bekend en ik dacht dat ik hem ook al op de site had staan maar dat was dus niet het geval (met dank aan Sjer). De VCM-100 is de VCI-100 zonder jogwheels en faders maar met rotary faders en een geintergreerde geluidskaart. Oftewel de geluidskaart die de VCI mist zit wel in de VCM maar de VCM heeft dan weer niet alles wat de VCI weer heeft... snappen we hem nog? ;-)

Vestax VCM-100
The VCM-100 is a compact USB MIDI & audio system, designed with Vestax's mechatronics technology developed in the past 30 years. Despite its compact size, the VCM-100 comes with 4in4out(Stereo x 2 in/out)connection, headphone output and high quality mechanical parts placed in the control section. Having every feature fitted in to a solid metal body smaller than a standard laptop, the VCM-100 is easy to use and transportation friendly, which makes it the simple all-in-one USB audio interface that all PRO's want.
