FEATURES 

The LX6464ES is an audio card for PCI bus. It is Universal PCI (32-bit/66 
MHz), which means it can be plugged in 32-bit/33 MHz 5 V keyed PCI slots 
as well as in 64-bit/66 MHz 3.3 V keyed PCI slots. The card IS also 
compatible with PCI-X interfaces. 

LX6464ES main hardware features 

 

64 EtherSound ES-100 mono inputs at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz 

 

64 EtherSound ES-100 mono outputs at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz 

 

1 standard Word Clock input 

Main software features 

 

Real-time, simultaneous record and playback in PCM (16 and 24 bits) 

 

Low latency DirectSound and ASIO drivers 

EtherSound features 

 

EtherSound ES-100 compatible 

 

The card can generate the network audio clock, or it can synchronize on 
the network audio clock 

 

Network clock frequencies supported: 
48 kHz if the card itself generates the audio clock source for the network 
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz if the card synchronizes on the EtherSound network 
or on an external Word Clock 

 

Audio sampling frequencies supported:

 

48 kHz, 96 kHz, 192 kHz 

at a network clock frequency of 48 kHz

 

44.1 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 176.4 kHz 

at a network clock frequency of 44.1 kHz

 

Note:  the audio sampling frequency defines the number of available 
inputs/outputs:  
at 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz: 32 inputs and 32 outputs 

 

at 176.4 kHz or 192 kHz: 16 inputs and 16 outputs
