The folks at IK Multimedia have announced the launch of the first audio interface for guitar and bass integrated into a simple, miniaturized, ¼" jack to USB cable.
Stealth Plug comes with a nine foot cord that has a ¼" jack on one end and a USB connector on the other. A 16 bit 44/48kHz Analog to Digital converter is housed in the cord's Stealth bulge that also contains a 1/8" mini-jack headphone output, volume controls and a LED "activity light." Stealth Plug also comes with IK's stellar Amplitube 2 Live (both standalone and plug-in versions), Mackie's Tracktion 2.1, SampleTank 2 SE, T-Racks EQ, and 500MB of Guitar, Bass and Drum loops from Sonic Reality.
IK Multimedia's Stealth Plug included a software package, and the AmpliTube 2 Live was especially appreciated as its one of the best effects applications on the market. PC users will also be encouraged by the Stealth Plug Control Panel. This small utility gives PC owners instant control over input gain, output volume, monitoring, the sample rate and the buffer size, and went a long way to enhance the product's ease-of-use on the PC platform.
