Description:

Powered by Aureal's own 300 MIP Vortex1 AU8820 audio processor chip, the Vortex1 PCI integrates an audio acceleration engine, 64-voice studio-quality wavetable synthesizer, and digital game port on a single high-performance PCI board. In addition, Vortex1 PCI supports A3D, the most advanced positional 3D technology available today. Originally developed for NASA for use in their astronaut training programs, Aureal's A3D is the de facto standard for 3D audio on over 3 million PCs. A3D puts the listener in the 3D environment, making sounds appear to come from any direction--left and right, front and back, top and bottom--giving gamers a decided advantage over their opponents.
