EWX 24/96

High Resolution Soundcard

With the AudioSystem EWX 24/96 TerraTec breaks new ground in the classical soundcard market with a product utilising progressive 24Bit / 96kHz technology. Based on the award winning EWS88 MT/D technology you get the pleasure of uncompromised support for any audio software with ASIO 2.0, GSIF (GigaSampler) and DirectSound drivers. Thanks to the hardware design and the new 24Bit/96kHz converter technology, a signal to noise ratio of more than 100 dB/A is reached - satisfying the highest demands.

In addition to the analog stereo In and Outputs (cinch!) there is an optical digital In and Output (TOS link) for all standard formats up to 24Bit und 96kHz at your disposal. These operate without any sample rate conversion and thereby deliver a 1:1 (bit-true) perfect recording. And DTS or AC3 streams can also be transfered in the so-called non-audio mode over the digital Out from a software DVD- player to an external Dolby-Digital-receiver. The digital Input on the EWX 24/96 also allows itself to be configured so that a digital audio Out (TTL) from a CD drive can be connected.

And to facilitate a well rounded impression of the powerful abilities of the EWX 24/96, we have taken care to include a comprehensive software packet to carry you far into your new music life. Create and edit recordings with Steinbergs praised sample editor WaveLab Lite and then convert them into MP3 files with Musicmatch Jukebox - or arrange complete songs professionally using Emagics audio/MIDI sequencer MicroLogic Fun – just to name a few possible applications.

The real heavy hitter is without a doubt "GigaSampler LE" from Nemesys and turns your system into a full value sampler with support for countless sounds in GIG, WAV and AKAI format! What makes it so special: the sounds are played directly from the hard drive. That way the samplers's memory capacity is immense. Alone for the Mega-Piano there is close to 70MB of sound material, which you – thanks to the direct hardware support via the GSIF driver – can play practically live!

Beside Arturia's Storm - in a special EWX 24/96 edition – awaits the FruityLoops Express, an extremely intuitive, easy to use compositions tool inclusive drum-computer, synthesizer and effects processor. Also contact to the world outside your PC is provided for using the EWX 24/96. You can, for example, connect a MIDI adapter kit, like the MIDI Kit Master from TerraTec. On a separate slot we have added a practical interface which can be used to power the TerraTec phono PreAmp.

Along side the connecter cables for the analog In and Outputs (cinch – cinch), we have placed a 2 , yes two, meter optical cable to connect with the outside world (e.g. MiniDisk player).

Summary: All those who have been searching for a soundcard that boasts such phantastic specs (and certainly places itself in the profi-league) can now take action.
