AudioScience ASI5788, PCI-Express Sound Card, Analog and Digital I/O

The ASI5788 is a professional Low Profile PCI-Express sound cards designed for use in the installed sound, entertainment and broadcast markets.

Providing up to 24 play streams that are mixed to 8 balanced stereo outputs and 8 record streams fed from 8 balanced stereo inputs, the ASI5788 features AudioScience's unique "anything to anywhere" mixing and routing.

The ASI5788 provides both balanced analog and AES/EBU inputs and outputs. The maximum analog input and output level is +24dBu.

Uncompressed PCM, in a choice of precision is available for both recording and playback.

For surround sound applications, SSX2 mode allows multichannel streams of up to 8 channels to be played, recorded and mixed.

Please note: Required Cable is not included, please contact BGS for cable options for your application
