AudioScience ASI6620 Broadcast Balanced Analog XLR Multichannel PCIe Sound Card

Description

AudioScience ASI6620 •
6 Streams into 2x Outputs for Radio Playout or Production
• PCIe x1 • Usually 5 • Bare Card, No Cables Included
Lightly used, tested to confirm correct operation (see screenshot). No XLR cable set is included, but I usually have BOB1024 breakout boxes listed separately which offer a convenient and robust means of interfacing to the card's inputs and outputs. This is a PCI Express (PCIe) card, not a PCI type.
Usually Sells for 5
The ASI6620 is a professional PCI-Express sound card designed for use in radio broadcast automation.
Providing 6 play streams that are mixed to 2 balanced stereo outputs and 4 record stream fed from 2 balanced stereo input, the ASI6620 features AudioScience’s unique “anything to anywhere” mixing and routing.
The ASI6620 has analog I/O only. The maximum analog input and output level is +24dBu.
A choice of uncompressed PCM, MPEG layer 2 and MP3 is available for both recording and playback. All compression is handled by an on-board floating point DSP, allowing the host computer to focus on other tasks.
ASI6620 functionality includes MRX multi-rate mixing technology which allows streams of different sample-rates and formats to be mixed digitally. TSX time scaling allows compression/expansion of any or all playback streams in real time with no change in pitch.
