3D PCI Sound Card, Technical Specifications

3D PCI Sound Card

Experience intense gaming and concert effects. Rhythmic Edge provides the most powerful 2-channel 3D audio available, with intense game sound effects and concert hall realism for all genres of music. You’ll hear every creaking door and screeching tire in your favorite game, and you’ll be able to pick out every detail from the latest jam session.

Breeze through complex audio demands. Rhythmic Edge effort- lessly delivers up to 64 individual 3D voices, 128 individual DirectSound voices, and 576 individual wavetable voices, while processing enhance- ments such as “positional 3D” within the card itself.

Supercharge your computer. An unusually powerful chip design assumes the load of calculations that other sound cards normally force onto the host computer. This design relieves your computer of per- forming enormously complex audio processing – resulting in noticeably faster, richer gaming effects and more convincing three-dimensional audio sound fields.
