About the DMAN PCI
The DMAN PCI is a full-featured, yet low-cost adaptor card that turns your
computer into a digital audio workstation. The DMAN PCI offers high-quality
audio on gold-plated line inputs and outputs, MIDI input/output, General
MIDI wavetable synthesizer, CD-ROM audio input, and expansion header for
optional third-party synthesizer daughterboards.
The DMAN PCI is a “PCI audio accelerator” that actually offloads the comput-
er of many of its CPU-intensive audio duties. The DMAN PCI adaptor card
and supplied Windows driver software are fully DirectX compatible.
Product Features
• PCI 2.1 compliant card. Requires one IRQ and no DMA channels.
• High quality audio specs: 90 dB dynamic range.
• Full-duplex for simultaneous stereo record and playback.
• Stereo line-level inputs and outputs on gold-plated RCA jacks.
• MIDI In and MIDI Out on 5-pin DIN connectors.
• Built-in 64-voice General MIDI Wavetable Synthesis with GS reverb and
chorus effects, independent of hardware MIDI I/O.
