Provides 24-channel, 10-bus digital mixer with 16 tracks of tapeless recording, stereo 24-bit digital in/out, stereo analog in/out, 4-band EQ, 26 dynamics processors, two effect processors, and more.
Overview
DS2416
A breakthrough computer audio card that provides a complete digital mixing and recording environment inside a standard personal computer -- at a breakthrough price that puts pro quality sound and performance within reach of more musicians and audio production professionals than ever before.
Taking advantage of Yamaha's unique position as the world's leading manufacturer of audio DSP, the DS2416 offers the mixing power of the Yamaha O2R digital mixer, complete with 24 channels of digital mixing, on-board digital effects and dynamic processors, along with everything else professionals need, plus 16 tracks of hard disk recording with up to 32 bit resolution.
Unlike most other audio cards, the DS2416 relies on its own processing power and not the computer's CPU, which at an unprecedented price point, makes all functions of the card available simultaneously, to provide a level of flexibility and performance previously not possible. A built-in audio-streaming engine provides 16 tracks of recording/playback of 32-bit audio to and from the computer's disk drive.
The first release of the DS2416 supports the Windows 95 platform. Installed in the PCI card slot of a standard PC, the DS2416 is controlled using software from the world's leading developers of MIDI and Hard Disk Recording applications. This lets you either stay with the software you're already familiar with, or select one which best suits your composing, recording and mixing style.
The most convenient and affordable… read more way for musicians, sound designers and audio production professionals to add top-performance non-linear recording, with its inherent creative advantages of editing and instant access to audio data, to their systems. It's ideal for the musician already using a PC for sequencing of MIDI instruments, as well as for anyone looking to augment or replace a tape-based recording system.
This concept includes features and options capable of attracting recording professionals to a PC platform as a replacement for conventional mixer/recorder component systems. Stereo digital and 20-bit analog inputs and outputs allow you to record and mix to, from a wide range of digital and analog two-channel audio devices. DS2416 cards can be linked to create a larger system, expansion cards are separately available which permit multiple-channel digital and analog input and output options.
The DS2416 is the only computer card to provide a complete digital mixer (24 channel, 32-bit digital mixer) with the power and sonic performance of the Yamaha O2R. Includes two effect processors equal in quality to the REV500; 26 dynamics processors. All features are available all the time. Since all the processing is present on the card, little or no outboard equipment is needed. Multichannel analog and digital I/O with optional interface hardware.
Sixteen-Track playback from hard disc, with up to 32-bit resolution. 8 Track simultaneous recording with up to 32-bit resolution. Sample-accurate synchronization between tracks. The recorder is "hot-wired" to the internal mixer in the digital domain. Synchronization to outside sources via software.
Optional expansion cards are under development with permit multiple-channel audio connections to and from the DS2416 -- for connection of multi-channel digital equipment such as outboard digital multitrack recorders and signal processors. A single DS2416 can provide up to 12 external inputs and outputs. Multiple DS2416 cards can be cascaded to create larger systems.
AX16AT
The AX16 AT is a PCI card that allows the DSP Factory to be easily interfaced with a wide variety of professional audio devices including digital multi-track recorders, external audio converters, and digital recording consoles. Providing 2 pairs of ADAT-format optical connectors for transferring 16 tracks of digital audio to and from the DS2416 audio card at resolutions as high as 24-bit, the AX16-AT offers a broad range of interfacing options, including letting the Yamaha 01V mixer become a 24 by 8 front-end featuring 12 mic pre-amps with phantom power, faders, additional EQ, effects, dynamics processing and routing. read less

System Requirements
Ý IBM PC compatible PCI bus Windows 95 computer
Ý DS2416-compatible audio software
System Notes
The DS2416 can be used in any IBM PC-compatible PCI bus personal com-puter
running Windows 95. Since the PCI bus standard relies on the Pentium
processor, computers with earlier processors are not supported. The DS2416
requires a single 5 V PCI expansion bus slot, and cannot be used in 3.3 V PCI
slots. It's compliant with PCI version 2.1, requires one IRQ (interrupt
request), but no DMA (Direct Memory Access). Since it's a PCI card, IRQ set-tings are made automatically. PCI bus speeds other than 33 MHz are not sup-ported.
Processor type, memory, and hard disk requirements are dependent on the
controlling software, not the DS2416. The supplied device driver requires a
few hundred kilobytes of disk space. Although the DS2416 supports 8-track
simultaneous recording and 16-track simultaneous playback, actual perfor-mance
will depend on the capabilities of your computer and audio software.
Compatible Software
Any software that supports Windows MME (Multimedia Extensions), includ-ing
the Windows 95 Media Player accessory, can be used with the DS2416 for
recording and playback. To use the mixing functions, however, requires soft-ware
that supports the DS2416 mixer. The following software companies are
supporting the DS2416.
