Terratec XLERATE

TOTO ZBOŽÍ BYLO VYSTAVENO NA PRODEJNĚ, 100% FUNKČNÍ PRODUKT.

Positional 3-D Sound like you never heard before.

More and more sound cards will be based on PCI. This trend is accelerated by the increasing demands to

audio qualitiy and the wish to experience a realistic sound atmosphere. Multiple audio streams and 3DGames with positional 3D audio make it necessary to escape the bottleneck of ISA.

For this reason we offer the TerraTec




XLerate, a Plug & Play – sound card based on the latest PCI

technology, designed to fit the needs of beginners and gamers.

The TerraTec




XLerate is a complete, professional-quality PCI sound card, that combines a high-quality

wavetable and the superior A3D



technology with legacy audio compatibility in real-mode DOS and WIN95-

DOS boxes.

The TerraTec




XLerate provides a wavetable and a radio connector to extend the cards abilities. The card

can be upgraded with a wavetable daughterboard, or the unique TerraTec




ReceiverSystem ActiveRadio

Upgrade Modul to have a complete RDS FM radio.

The TerraTec




XLerate supports A3D-Interactive (A3D-I), now implemented in many new games for Windows

95 PCs. A3D-I creates a more life-like listening experience by replicating the 3D audio cues that the ears

hear in the real world. Unlike “surround sound”, A3D-I requires only two speakers, but still provides an

immersive audio experience. Unlike “stereo extenders”, A3D-I actually positions sounds in particular places

on a virtual 3D soundstage. In A3D-I games, sound sources move in response to game action – racecars or

spaceships zoom past, and bullets zip round the listener’s head.

But that's not all. The TerraTec




XLerate provides complete hardware emulation of legacy audio, such as

Sound Blaster Pro and AdLib sound cards, in Windows95 and DOS. So you don't have to throw away your

favourite game titles running under real-mode DOS or in Win95 DOS-boxes. Likely it will improve the sound

of your DOS games, because of its high audio quality.

In addition to all the advantages explained before, we spend the TerraTec XLerate an excellent 64 voices

integrated wavetable synthesizer that complies with the General MIDI specification. So even musicians will

enjoy to listen. Not only Windows 95 - these impressive sounds are also available in Win95 DOS boxes, so

you can have native MIDI support in your games, running in Win95 DOS boxes
