WaveCenter/PCI
is the affordable new ADAT digital lightpipe card for Windows and
Macintosh computers. It combines eight channels of lightpipe I/O, two
channels of S/PDIF, and a 2x2 MIDI interface on one compact PCI card.
Like
the original WaveCenter and the powerful Dakota, WaveCenter/PCI
combines the sonic benefits of all-digital 24-bit I/O with the
convenience and flexibility of industry-standard interfaces. And now
with drivers for Windows 95/98 and MacOS, WaveCenter/PCI can be used
with all of your favorite editing and sequencing software.
