Sonifex has made an addition to its sound and radio capture cards by introducing the Sonifex PC-AD2 PCIe half height sound card, a dual stereo analogue and digital PCIe card. The PC-AD2 is a dual stereo analogue input/output and dual stereo AES-3 digital input/output sound card in the PCIe half height format. One of the analogue inputs can be used as a dual mono or stereo mic input, there is a dedicated AES-11 sync input and also two general purpose (GPIO) inputs and outputs.
It is fully compatible with the Windows™ Wave, DirectSound, DirectShow, MCI, MIDI playback and Core Audio APIs as well as a variety of audio compression modes via the Windows Audio Compression Manager or other software compression systems. It supports audio up to 32bit, 192kHz and can provide full sound card functionality on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2.
The card has been tested with Broadcast Radio Myriad, Enco DAD and RCS to ensure compatibility for radio broadcast customers.
Managing Director Marcus Brooke commented: ”Since we acquired Innes Corporation in 2014, we’ve had great success selling their sound cards and FM/AM/DAB radio capture cards, but more and more customers have been asking for a professional sound card in a half-height PCIe format. Many of the modern PCs only have half height card slots available – the PC-AD2 card has been designed with this in mind allowing a high channel count in a small format card”.
