More Summer NAMM highlights at the Yamaha booth: the AUDIOGRAM3 which delivers a compact audio interface, complete with both a mono and stereo input channel. Providing maximum flexibility for recording from almost any audio source, the mono input channel features a combo-type connector that can be set for microphone or line level input, while the stereo channel has both phone and RCA connectors. Being USB bus-powered, no external power supply is necessary--making it a convenient solution for mobile applications.

Yamaha Audiogram 3 (and 6). Computer-based audio recording continues to evolve. The competitive $99 street price point established in other manufacturers' desk top audio interface have limited players to record tracks over existing stereo audio. For another $20 ($119 street), the 3rd line allows a player to record along with a stereo MP3 mix, stereo keyboard, or two other players. The Audiogram 6 gives 3 more channels. This is the next step in affordable home/hobby recording.
