The Audioterminal 010 adapts the ‘E-WDM’ driver model to provide superior data processing and
compatibilities. Until now, Windows native drivers such as MME, Direct Sound and the WDM
driver did not have enough performance for serious music production. Furthermore, Steinberg’s
ASIO and Nemesys’ GSIF drivers do not support fully. Audioterminal 010 employs the E-WDM
driver to provide a new solution for users in to take advantage of newer Windows versions and
concentrate on their work, not their system.
The E-WDM supports MME, ASIO, GSIF, and Direct X taking all the merits of these drivers. One

2000 and XP, thus allowing the users to choose the OS of his or her preference.
