TerraTec announced the 8-channel Aureon 7.1 Universe sound card, featuring a 5 1/4" front module and remote control. The Aureon 7.1 Universe is a sound system designed to transform your PC into a professional surround sound studio for music, games and DVDs--with 8 channels and the latest 24-bit/192-kHz converter technology for recording and playback. The Aureon 7.1 Universe is available now for $259 USD.
With Aureon 7.1 Universe, top games and movies on DVD become an experience in sound. The card also aims to satisfy musicians by supporting a wide range of audio sources, transforming PCs into hard disk recorders. The included 5 1/4" front module not only features stereo inputs and outputs for analog and digital equipment (optical and coaxial), but also connections for headphones and microphones. It's also possible to directly connect tape decks or turntables. Its phono preamp (with hardware RIAA equalization) and included professional audio restoration software lets you transfer old vinyl records to digital media. And last but not least, the front module also lets you control your computer using an infrared remote.
Whether DVD, music or games--the Aureon 7.1 Universe adapts itself to commercial standards: Sensaura 3D, EAX, ASIO, A3D, DirectSound. AC3 streams are directly transferred to the optical digital interface via non-audio mode. A selection of software including a Intervideo WinDVD 5, Sound Rescue TerraTec Edition 2.0 round out the package.
