AudioScience ASI6540 Multichannel Broadcast Sound Card with Breakout Cables.  Working when removed from service.


Description

  • The ASI6540 is a professional PCI sound card designed for use in radio broadcast automation.
  • Providing 12 play streams that are mixed to 4 balanced stereo outputs and 8 record streams fed from four balanced stereo inputs, the ASI6540 features AudioScience’s unique “anything to anywhere” mixing and routing.
  • The ASI6540 has balanced analog I/O with an analog input and output level of up to +24dBu.
  • A choice of uncompressed PCM, MPEG layer 2 and MP3 is available for both recording and playback. All compression is handled by an onboard floating point DSP, allowing the host computer to focus on other tasks.
  • DSP based functionality includes MRX™ multi-rate mixing technology that allows streams of different sample-rates and formats to be mixed digitally. TSX™ time scaling allows compression/expansion of any or all playback streams in real time with no change in pitch.
  • For emerging surround sound applications, SSX™ mode allows multichannel streams of up to 8 channels to be played, recorded and mixed.
