I/ONE Firewire Audio Snakes feature the DICEII FireWire chip with JetPLL^TM Jitter Elimination Technology from TC Applied Technologies.  It virtually eliminates all audio jitter for the best possible sound; real-time (constant bus latency of 0.35 ms regardless of the number of devices connected) and with defined and accepted Firewire/IEEE1394 audio protocols. 

I/ONE Firewire Audio Snakes are mLAN compatible, meaning they can connect to Yamaha mixers with mLAN adaptor cards to easily add to the number and type of I/O's which can now be located near the source.  In addition, the free ASIO mLAN driver allows users to use their favorite DAW application to play/record audio from/to multiple sources/destinations.

I/ONE Firewire Audio Snake software is easy to use, no complex addressing schemes; devices are automatically detected and connections are easily made or changed.  In addition the software can be, optionally, client-server based allowing for multiple control points.
