information about the doors ultralite Mk3

[arivel]

hello everyone.
I'm considering buying the ultralite MK3 Hybrid sound card.
it's a bit old but I can make do. in my case its intended use is audio measurements via PC, power amplifier, speaker and microphone. SPL response in frequency, THD, harmonics etc..
this is a sound card that can communicate with the computer via two ports: USB2 and firewire-400.
I would like to know if it is possible to use the two ports simultaneously to double the bandwidth and data transfer speed. hello and thanks

No, not possible. Anyway, we are talking audio here, right? Bandwidth is plenty using either port.

I'd probably use the term "Audio Interface" over "Sound Card", as the latter generally refers to a PCI type device.

There are two versions, the Ultralite MK3 and the Ultralite MK3 Hybrid—this is the one that connects over FW and USB 2.

Both use the same driver on a Mac over macOS 11 or later but it is found in the Downloads for the Ultralite MK3 Hybrid only
