Specifications 
* Bus interface: PCI Bus master with 96 channel DMA interface insures 
  low system overhead for audio data transfers. 
* Compatibility: Windows 95 / 98 / NT 4.0, Plug'n'Play-compatible. 
* Audio converters: 
    - 18-bit ADC and DAC.
    - Hardware-based sample rate converters for high-quality digital mixing. 
* Signal-to-Noise: > 97 dB (A-weighted). 
* THD: > 90 dB (0.0032%) (A-weighted). 
* Stereo crosstalk: 1 KHz (-83 dB) 100 Hz (-97 dB) 
* Frequency Response: 10 Hz - 20.5 KHz (+/-1 dB). 
* Sampling Rates: up to 48 KHz. 
* Games compatibility: compatible with all standard Windows games and most 
  DOS games (in Real Mode DOS). DOS game compatibility not available in NT. 
* Digital audio processor
    - Hardware full-duplex for simultaneous record/playback at full 
      bandwidth with independent record/playback rate. 
    - Auto-muting after periods of digital silence. 
    - 16 hardware digital mixers for processing PCI audio streams. 
* Sample rate converters: hardware-based sample rate converters for 
  processing digital audio streams of different sample rates without
  imposing any CPU processing load. 
* Aureal 3D 2.0 interactive sound: hardware-based A3D positional audio 
  wave-tracing engine with wall reflections and occlusions (64 sources). 
* Audio inputs/outputs: 
    - mono microphone input
    - stereo line input
    - stereo line output
    - stereo aux input on internal header
    - CD input on internal header
    - modem audio in/out on internal header
* Wavetable synthesizer
    - 64-voice hardware + 256-voice hardware-accelerated software 
      advanced wavetable synthesis
    - 5 MB instrument samples stored in PC system RAM using DynamicVoice 
      Exchange(TM) caching, to minimize RAM requirements to only the 
      instruments being used.  
    - Reverberation and chorus on MIDI wavetable instruments.  
    - DLS-compatible for user-configurable instruments. 
* Synthesizer Daughter Board
    - 64-voice advanced wavetable synthesis with Roland GS-compliant 
      instruments.  
    - Channelized digital effects include reverb and chorus. 
* MIDI interface: hardware-based MPU-401 MIDI UART-compatible interface 
  through joystick connector. 
* Joystick interface: as well as providing standard analog/digital 
  joystick support, the digital joystick further accelerates game play
  by performing remote polling of the joystick position without CPU
  intervention. 
* S/PDIF: Allows In/Out with RCA and optical connectors for recording 
  and playback of pure digital audio (requires an available space for 
  the bracket). 
* MIDI interface cable: connects to joystick port to control external 
  MIDI devices via the MIDI port.
