 TerraTec Producer PHASE 88
Perfect Sound and an Extendible Modular I/O Solution Available End
of November
With the PHASE 88 Audio System, TerraTec Producer provides a professional
audio and MIDI interface that transforms every PC or MAC into a professional
recording system, without an additional Mixer. Eight high-quality analog
input and output converters process audio signals (from start to finish
and from hardware to software) with resolutions up to 24 bits and 96
kHz. The PHASE 88s converters are housed in a 5 1/4" module that can
be installed within and placed outside the computer. Based on proven
TerraTec technology, PHASE 88 features optimized conversion components
and cleverly designed circuits, enabling recordists to cut crystal-clear
recordings on up to eight tracks simultaneously and even play back high-resolution
5.1 or 7.1 Surround sound. To make the most of the 24-bit converters
excellent dynamic range, the PHASE 88 is equipped with an on-board 20-channel
hardware mixer with 36-bit internal resolution and 20-in-4 routing.
Every input port features a dedicated analog stage that can be switched
from -10 dBv to +4dBv, as well as a variable amp with up to 18 dB gains.
Channel thru monitoring generates zero latency, and latency introduced
by the ASIO 2.0 driver comes to less than three ms. The PHASE 88 Audio
System will be available end of November for a suggested Retail Price
of Euro 359.-- Euro.
 With these features, the PHASE 88
is a full-fledged recording system and the perfect solution for studios
that do without an external mixer. An additional S/PDIF (coaxial) digital
input/output on the PCI bus card provides the perfect interface to the
digital studio environment. Up to four PHASE 88 recording systems can
be synchronized and cascaded within a single computer. This means that
systems with up to 40 physical inputs and outputs and 64 MIDI channels
can be configured without adding to the CPU load. PHASE 88 offers drivers
for Windows 98/ME, 2000, XP (ASIO 2.0, DirectSound, MME with Multi-Client
mode, and ASIO GSIF Multi-Client), Mac OS 9.1, and Mac OSX (ASIO 2.0).
