ST Audio Media 7.1 @ $299
(*on orders over $199)
The DSP24 MEDIA 7.1
is the world's first true 24bit/96kHz PCI full-duplex multi-channel audio/media
interface with an onboard GM/GS hardware synthesizer! Designed with a wide range
of applications in mind, the MEDIA 7.1 is an excellent solution for musicians,
multimedia developers, broadcasters, audiophiles, website designers, DJ's, audio
enthusiasts and others.
Whether you want to record
audio (vocals, keyboards, guitar, ...) to your computer, or sequence music using
the onboard hardware synthesizer, the MEDIA 7.1 has all options covered. There
is even a phono pre-amp with RIAA EQ that allows you to connect a turntable
directly to your PC! The included software allows you to record/restore and
transfer your old vinyl records to CD!
The MEDIA 7.1 package includes
an ultra high quality 24bit/96kHz PCI host card based on ST Audio's professional
line of DSP24 recording
interfaces, a sturdy external interface unit and an assortment of powerful software.
A multitude of hardware connection options are provided including a microphone
pre-amp with gain gain control and phantom power, switchable phone pre-amp (with
RIAA EQ) / line level anaolog inputs, headphone amplifier, 8 multi channel analog
outputs, and a 16ch MIDI interface.
As its name suggests, the MEDIA
7.1 is a great tool for decoding and playing surround sound too. Use the WinDVD
software from Intervideo included to watch DVD's with your computer and listen
in full surround sound through multi-channel analog outputs.
Excellent driver support and
compatibility is available including Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP with support for
ASIO 2.0 and GSIF. The included ASIO 2.0 drivers of ST Audio's DSP24 series
support 2ms latency at 96kHz and 5ms at 44.1/48kHz (even lower values are supported
under Windows 2000/XP on faster systems). This means for users of modern software
synthesizers (such as GigaStudio or VST-/DXi-plugin instruments) that you can
play your sounds now in realtime, even using realtime effects (like DirectX-
or VST-plugins).
