AOpen: New Sound Cards Introduced. [02/01/2001 08:12 PM]
by Anna Filatova
AOpen announced two new sound cards: AW744 and AW320. Let’s take a closer look at their specs:
  • AW744. This card is based on Yamaha YMF744 chip and is compliant with OPL3, Sound Blaster Pro and Windows Sound Systems. It supports MP3-encoding. As for more technical stuff, the specs of the card strike as really impressive: wavetable with 64 hardware voices, support for 73 3D sound streams, play through 4 speakers, S/PDIF Out. But the most exciting thing is the presence of two game-ports onboard, which allows connecting two joysticks at a time (or a joystick and a MIDI-keyboard, if you like).
  • AW320. This sound card looks a bit simpler than the previous one. It is based on Crystal CS4614 chip with the integrated CrystalClear Stream Processor DSP and features built-in hardware wavetable synthesizer with 64 hardware voices (128 software voices), A3D support, etc.
Speaking about the price we shoulds warn you that it seems to us a bit too high: AW744 costs $70 and AW320 - $40.
