The Ultimate Multitrack Solution
The AudioSystem EWS88 MT sums up the demands placed on a professional hard-disk recording card: an
adequate number of inputs and outputs that can be expanded as required, clean audio quality and high
performance with current hardware and software technology come together to shatter all previous
price/performance ratios.
Eight high-quality analog input and output converters process audio signals (continuously from the
hardware to the software) with up to 24 bit and 96 kHz. The converters – and a full-scale MIDI interface –
are housed in a 5 1/4" module that can be mounted in a PC drive bay or installed externally. The PCI card
itself also features connections for S/PDIF devices (coaxial, e.g. for DAT or MiniDisk), as well as an
independent SystemSound (Monitor) output for the reproduction of system sounds or software
synthesizers without interfering with your favorite hard-disk recording application.
Even cascading the EWS systems under one another is possible without a problem. The number of
simultaneously available inputs and outputs can thus be increased by the use of up to three additional
systems with EWS
â
-Connect. An internal connection guarantees the sample-exact synchronization of all
the cards at any time. Of course, the card can also be synchronized with a WordClock signal by the TerraTec
EWS
â
ClockWork module.
The AudioSystem EWS88 MT works straight away with all common audio applications under Windows
95/98/ME/NT4 and Windows 2000. Drivers for these operating systems are included, as well as support
for Steinberg's ASIO 2.0 technology, Microsoft's DirectSound, MME and Nemesys GigaSampler GSIF. And
here, too, its uniqueness lies in the details, because the drivers are capable of transmitting 24-bit audio
data to the audio software used as a 32-bit data stream. This feature noticeably unburdens the main
processor, because unlike with the common packed-byte process, the 24-bit data does not have to first be
stacked several times before being transmitted through the 32-bit wide bus.
The software provided leads you directly to the goal of your audio dreams: the expansive control panel
permits the routing of the different signal sources and allows synchronization and driver settings. Included
in the package: EMAGICs LOGIC 4 for creative music processing with the EWS. In addition, there is SEK'D's
popular audio editor Samplitude in a specially adapted version – Mastering features like de-noiser,
multiband-EQ and hum compressor included!
