Building upon the original Waveterminal design, EGO SYS
has created the Waveterminal 2496, a pretty feature rich audio card featuring
both analog and digital I/O with up to 24-bit, 96 kHz resolution and 4-channel
full duplex operation.
The card itself includes coaxial S/PDIF I/O (24-bit, 96 kHz) and a pair of
analog inputs and outputs that can accept either balanced or unbalanced connectors.
The A/D and D/A converters are also 24-bit, 96 kHz. Other connections include
a direct digital input from a CD-ROM and a digital connector for the Sound Blaster
Live! Value card (which allows you to send the Sound Blaster's outputs through
the Waveterminal's D/As). Internal data paths support 32-bit resolution, and a
real-time hardware sample rate converter is built-in.
The Waveterminal 2496 doesn't include MIDI on its own, but an additional bracket
is included for connecting the Miditerminal 4140, a 4-in, 4-out MIDI interfaces
with SMPTE. If you need more audio I/O, you can use up to four Waveterminal 2496
cards in one computer.
Available drivers include Windows 95/98 MME, DirectSound, Windows 2000 WDM,
EASI, and ASIO 2.0. The Waveterminal 2496 is also GSIF compatible (for use with
the NemeSys GigaSampler).
The list price for the Waveterminal 2496 is $349.
