Only in the chassis re design.
The old aqua and gray U is the same, just alot uglier IMHO.

Thanx for the picture. You are quite right - creamware converter is uglier indeed :)

Stardust, yes, I have opportunity to buy as creamware A16 so and soniccore A16 in new condition in our music store.

Hi again.
I've got A16 Ultra and it works exactly as I expected - so I found it very useful gear to connect my synths to SC Scope Card ))

But now I have the following problem\question : A16 ultra has Input levels meter, it has indicators on -60,-12,-6,-3 and 0 dB levels. So the problem is my input level of any synth is always -60 (one green indicator lights), with any Master volume on synth with any level on Scope mixer - it always -60 dB, the mixer stm1632 shows several green bars and level -20 dB and it seems like it limited somewhy, I mean if I increase Master volume on my synth it doesnt make it louder for A16 Ultra or stm1632.

Could You explain the reason of such waek levels? I hope I dont need an amplifier or smth like for synths?
Thanx.

the A16 has pro level +4 i/o. synths are -20.

you can input the low levels and they'll be acceptable, or there are dip switches on the back which allow you to set the first 8 or the last 8 channels of the A16 to -20, which will give you better, more proper levels...
