Positional 3-D Sound like you never heard before. PCI SoundCard More and more sound cards will be based on PCI. This trend is accelerated by the increasing demands to audio qualitiy and the wish to experience a realistic sound atmosphere. Multiple audio streams and 3DGames with positional 3D audio make it necessary to escape the bottleneck of ISA. For this reason we offer the TerraTecâ XLerate, a Plug & Play ­ sound card based on the latest PCI technology, designed to fit the needs of beginners and gamers. The TerraTecâ XLerate is a complete, professional-quality PCI sound card, that combines a high-quality wavetable and the superior A3DÔ technology with legacy audio compatibility in real-mode DOS and WIN95DOS boxes. The TerraTecâ XLerate provides a wavetable and a radio connector to extend the cards abilities. The card can be upgraded with a wavetable daughterboard, or the unique TerraTecâ ReceiverSystem ActiveRadio Upgrade Modul to have a complete RDS FM radio. The TerraTecâ XLerate supports A3D-Interactive (A3D-I), now implemented in many new games for Windows 95 PCs. A3D-I creates a more life-like listening experience by replicating the 3D audio cues that the ears hear in the real world. Unlike "surround sound", A3D-I requires only two speakers, but still provides an immersive audio experience. Unlike "stereo extenders", A3D-I actually positions sounds in particular places on a virtual 3D soundstage. In A3D-I games, sound sources move in response to game action ­ racecars or spaceships zoom past, and bullets zip round the listener's head. But that's not all. The TerraTecâ XLerate provides complete hardware emulation of legacy audio, such as Sound Blaster Pro and AdLib sound cards, in Windows95 and DOS. So you don't have to throw away your favourite game titles running under real-mode DOS or in Win95 DOS-boxes. Likely it will improve the sound of your DOS games, because of its high audio quality. In addition to all the advantages explained before, we spend the TerraTec XLerate an excellent 64 voices integrated wavetable synthesizer that complies with the General MIDI specification. So even musicians will enjoy to listen. Not only Windows 95 - these impressive sounds are also available in Win95 DOS boxes, so you can have native MIDI support in your games, running in Win95 DOS boxes. TerraTec ProductInfo.
