1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the HDSP AES-32. This unique audio system is capable of transferring
digital audio data directly into a computer, from any device equipped with a AES/EBU or SPDIF
interface. Installation is simple, even for the inexperienced user, thanks to the latest Plug and
Play technology. The numerous unique features and well thought-out configuration dialog puts
the Hammerfall DSP AES at the very top of the range of digital audio interface cards.
The package contains drivers for Windows XP / Vista / 7 and Mac OS X PPC.
Our high-performance philosophy guarantees maximum system performance by executing as
many functions as possible not in the driver (i.e. the CPU), but directly within the audio hard-
ware.
