Lightsnake

Juniper Foo | Nov 07, 2006

If you're in love with 2-in-1s, SoundTech's Lightsnake is one neat solution that puts a sound card right on a cable. All that's required is to plug in the 3m-long cable (one end's a 6.3mm stereo plug, the other a USB) and, voila, audio gets transmitted via USB and recorded in CD quality on your computer. Sans sound cards, sans drivers. Why didn't anyone think sooner of putting a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter in a cable (this one samples at 48/44.1KHz)? Now for the geek factor. The ends light up in a glow that's almost as peachy as Yoda's green lightsaber. Too bad it doesn't hum like one.
