Overview

If you've got this far so you probably don't If you've got this far so you probably don't need me to tell you much about this card.   This model doesn't come up very often on eBay so if you're building a LPFM, RSL, voicetracking or home studio, or multitrack digital audio workstation then don't pass up this opportunity to upgrade your equipment to the same stuff that the big boys use!

Most if what you need to know can be found here.

In summary, AudioScience cards are purpose-designed for multichannel broadcast use.  They are supported by most of the main playout and automation software packages straight out of the box and allow each output stream to have its own independent channel with the level controlled either by the software or by the fader on the console.

The logical configuration of this card is shown below:

Signal quality is beyond reproach with Pro standard +4dB analog signals being supported with lots of extra headroom.  Output can be adjusted down to -10dB consumer levels using the control applet if you want to interface to unbalanced gear.

Description

The ASI4334 provides native MP3 playback for PC-based broadcast audio. Record, play and mix up to five stereo streams including one feedthrough channel.

The ASI4334 provides tremendous value in a feature-laden digital audio adapter with powerful on-board MP3 playback capability.

The ASI4334 features four stereo playback streams mixable to four stereo balanced analog outputs. In addition three balanced inputs are routable to both the record stream and one of the balanced outputs.

With the power of the advanced DSP chips on the ASI4334, you can record soundbites while playing program material, or switch from satellite feed to local programming and back without glitches. The powerful MP3 audio format retains CD quality broadcasting while requiring as little as one tenth of linear PCM storage requirements.

Listen closely. With 20-bit oversampling A/D and D/A converters, you won’t hear higher quality audio in any comparably priced soundcard.

International Bidders Please Read

In the case of items suitable for export (eg. high value and lightweight), international bidders are welcome to take advantage of the favorable dollar exchange rate and bid on my items.  But please note carefully the following points:

• Shipping.  Rates are based upon airmail delivery fully insured.  I usually send my USPS items (ie. items going to non-US destinations) a couple of times a week.
• After I send your item via USPS International I will send you a tracking number which you can use to see the progress of your package at www.usps.com.  Note that USPS does not offer full tracking on most forms of international postage, so the information available may be limited to parcel acceptance only.  In the event that something doesn't arrive please let me know and I will initiate a trace and claim on your behalf.  In the case of non-delivery the claims process cannot be started until 45 days after posting.
• Taxes, Duties and Brokerage Charges are the responsibility of the buyer.  I am unwilling to make fraudulent declarations to the authorities in an effort to reduce these.  Overseas orders refused at delivery will be charged the listed shipping fee in both directions plus a 20% restocking fee, so please make sure that you research the tax position before you bid.
