1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the RPM. This unique audio system is the perfect tool for DJs, home
recording and professional entertainers. It connects microphone, turntable, CD player and other
analog sources directly to a computer. Installation is simple, even for the inexperienced user,
thanks to the latest Plug and Play technology and full interrupt-sharing. The numerous unique
features and well thought-out configuration dialog puts the Hammerfall DSP at the very top of
the range of digital audio interface cards.
The package includes drivers for Windows 2000/XP and Mac OS X. An ALSA driver for Linux
will soon be available (see chapter 7.5).
Our high-performance philosophy guarantees maximum system performance by executing all
functions directly in hardware and not in the driver (i.e. the CPU).
