DSP24 Value
The DSP24
Value is our very affordable professional 24bit/96kHz recording solution.
This card is probably the most affordable 24bit/96kHz recording solution on
the audiocard market today. The card is based on the hard- and software of the
existing and sucessful DSP24
series of products.
DSP24 Value is no longer available and has been replaced by the even more advanced
ESI Juli@.
Together with Logic SoundTrack
24 from Emagic the DSP24 Value is the optimal product for your first step
into professional digital recording. The card supports 24bit at 96kHz with excellent
audio quality and perfect frequency response. Two analog input and two anlog
output channels with RCA connectors open a wide range of connection possibilites
in home and studio envrionments.
The device driver provides
the same professional functions of our other DSP24 series products: perfect
support for Windows 9x/Me and Windows 2000/XP including functions like ASIO
2.0 and GSIF (with multiclient-support) allow you to use the card with all common
audio applications. With the low latency of just 2ms (at 96kHz and 5ms at 44.1/48kHz
- or even lower values under Windows 2000/XP on fast systems) the DSP24 Value
is perfectly optimized to be used with modern software synthesizers (such as
GigaStudio or VST/DXi-Plugins) because you can play your sounds in realtime
now. You can even use effect plugins (DirectX or VST) in realtime.
With the included AC-97 Codec
and it's DirectSound support you can even replace the basic functions of a normal
soundcard.
The optional DSP24 Value Bracket
provides digital I/O connection possibilites (S/PDIF optical & coaxial)
as well as one MIDI I/O port.
