Tested/Guaranteed • TestResults Included • Usually $2,695 •Timestretch • 12 Streams into 4x AES/EBU (or Analog orS/PDIF) Digital Audio Outputs • Bare Card, No CablesIncluded
Used and in very good condition. The card has been tested and confirmed to work as it should - a copy of the test results of your card will be included in the package. No XLRcable set is included, but I usually have the BOB1024breakout boxes available (listed separately) which offer aconvenient and robust means of interfacing to the card'sinputs and outputs.
In summary, AudioScience cards are the defacto standard formultichannel broadcast use. They are supported by most of themain playout and automation software packages straight out ofthe box and allow each output stream to have its ownindependent channel with the level controlled either by thesoftware or by the fader on the console.

Having four independent digital output channels gives youeverything you need for the modern studio - three channels canbe used to give you triple overlap voicetracking so that yourprerecorded link can be played simultaneously over a segue.The fourth channel can then be used for your PFL/Cue - ormaybe for the output of your cart wall application. Up to 4ASI cards can coexist a single system giving you almostlimitless permutations of record and playback channels.
The reason that this card is sought after is that it hassimultaneous Analog and Digital presentation of each of thefour output channels - so you can hook it up to either ananalog or digital console. No need to junk your playout cardwhen you switch to a digital ASI6614 is a professional PCI-Express sound card designedfor use in radio broadcast automation. Providing 12 playstreams that are mixed to 4 balanced stereo outputs and 2record streams fed from one balanced stereo input, the ASI6614features AudioScience’s unique “anything to anyware” mixingand routing.
The ASI6614 provides both balanced analog and AES/EBU inputsand outputs. The maximum analog input and output level is+24dBu.
A choice of uncompressed PCM, MPEG layer 2 and MP3 isavailable for both recording and playback. All compression ishandled by an on-board floating point DSP, allowing the hostcomputer to focus on other tasks.
ASI6614 functionality includes MRX multi-rate mixingtechnology which allows streams of different sample-rates andformats to be mixed digitally. TSX time scaling allowscompression/expansion of any or all playback streams in realtime with no change in pitch.
- 12 mono/stereo streams of playback into 4 stereo outputs
- 2 mono/stereo streams of record from 1 stereo input.
- PCM, MPEG-L2 and MP3 formats with sample rates to 96kHz.
- MRX technology supports mixing of multiple formats andrates.
- TSX time scaling by up to +/-20%25
- Balanced stereo analog I/O with levels to +24dBu.
- 24bit ADC and DAC with 110dB DNR and 0.0015%25 THD+N
- AES/EBU I/O with sample rate converters on all inputs.
- Dedicated AES/EBU and Word clock Sync input.
- Short length PCI card format (6.6 inches/168mm)
- Up to 4 cards in one system.
- Windows and Linux software drivers available.
Both Digital and Analog signal quality is beyond reproachwith Pro standard +4dB analog signals being supported withlots of extra headroom. Output can be adjusted down to -10dBconsumer levels using the control applet if you want tointerface to unbalanced gear.
Drivers are available for Linux and Windows are available atthe Audioscience website.
