TerraTec XLerate Pro. PCI SoundCard
™
The A3D cult card for pro gamers.
®
The TerraTec XLerate Pro delivers a range of exciting features and functions that set new standards-
especially in the 3D Audio sector-and which are guaranteed to thrill you. Keep those ears wide open.
™
With its Aureal Vortex 2 PCI audio chip, the card provides full hardware support for A3D 2.0 and
™
DirectSound /3D, reducing the CPU load and liberating extra power for swift, smooth gaming.
™
A3D 2.0 can handle up to 16 simultaneous audio sources that can be spatially positioned as required.
™
What's more, Wavetracing can calculate up to 64 reflections in real time for realistic environmental sound
modeling. The position of the listener, the geometry of the surroundings and the reflective characteristics of
™
a variety of materials are all taken into consideration. Thanks to Wavetracing , a gunshot sounds
completely different in a closed room than it would outdoors, for example. Over 100 titles have already been
™ ™
published or are currently being developed for A3D 1.0 or A3D 2.0.
®
But that's not all. The XLerate Pro supports audio output via headphones, two or even four speakers. The
®
speaker configuration can be set up easily and intuitively with the XLerate Pro ControlPanel to ensure the
™ ™
best possible audio playback in applications that support A3D or DirectSound 3D. This permits the use of
algorithms specifically developed for this type of output. The final touches can be added using the graphic
10-band stereo equalizer.
32-44.1-48: The parameters of the digital output are really something to hear. They ensure that your
®
XLerate Pro will quickly make contact-to your MiniDisc or DAT recorder for example-without losses, of
course.
The integrated wavetable synthesizer satisfies even the most discriminating listeners. A high-quality 4 MB
sample set provides the perfect setting for your MIDI music-including 320 solid voices and an effects
processor!
®
The wavetable is also available in Windows 95/98 DOS boxes to ensure that you don't have to miss out on
®
powerful MIDI sound in your DOS games. The XLerate Pro supports the Downloadable Samples Standard
(DLS 1.0) so that you can replace the included 4 MB sample set with samples of your own. It's the ultimate
in sound versatility.
®
And if that's still not enough, upgrade the XLerate Pro with a wavetable daughterboard.
™
Thanks to its SoundBlaster Pro compatibility, classic games also run in real-mode DOS without problems.
®
The XLerate Pro gameport is designed for analog as well as digital joysticks, and will even team up with
Force Feedback joysticks.
