1. Introduction to Audioterminal 010
Thank you for choosing Audioterminal 010. The Audioterminal 010 is a 100% full digital I/O Audio
Interface card different from other EGO-SYS product.
This card adopts ADAT format and the entire major digital format available in the market.
It is the first card that supporting TDIF of TASCAM and R-BUS of Roland.
The Audioterminal 010 has various features.
It supports various digital format converting, 24-bit 96kHz Hard disc recording and MIDI
Interface and Synchronization.
Professional users will be satisfied with powerful functions of the Audioterminal 010.
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
of its advantages is OS support that range from Windows 98 SE and Windows ME to Windows
2000 and XP, thus allowing the users to choose the OS of his or her preference.
Audioterminal 010 is the hard disk recording card suitable for professional musicians rather than
beginners. Audioterminal 010 is compatible with multi-track recording software such as Cakewalk,
Sonar, Cubase, Nuendo; mastering software such as Sound Forge and Wave Lab; software
sampler and most virtual synthesizers and virtual Instrument.

2. Hardware Installation
If you follow the instructions on this section in the sequence that it is written, you will have
properly installed all components.
1. System Requirements
To take advantage of the Audioterminal 010 and its full capacity, the computer specifications
are very important. Even though the Audioterminal 010 is built to have low-CPU
dependability, the computer needs to meet some requirements in order to get maximum
performance. The Audioterminal 010 is not just a simple sound card, but also a multimedia
digital audio device with various functions. Therefore, the performance of the Audioterminal
010 is affected by the computer specs that are required to process the vast amount of digital
data. A faster CPU, faster hard disk, and larger amounts of RAM are recommended.
Minimum System Requirement
1. Intel Pentium II CPU 450MHz
2. Main board with Intel chipsets
3. 128MB of RAM
4. One available PCI slot
5. Microsoft Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP
Recommended System Requirement
1. Intel Pentium III CPU or higher
2. Motherboard with Intel series chipsets (BX, 815, 845,850 and so on)
3. More than 256MB of RAM
4. One available PCI slot
5. Microsoft Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP operating system
6. UDMA 66/100 7200 rpm hard disk drive
2. Preparation for Hardware Installation
The Audioterminal 010 PCI card and other components in the computer can be easily damaged by
electrical shock. You need to use an anti-static device that can discharge the static electricity of
your body to avoid potential static damage to the cards.

1. The Audioterminal 010 PCI card is placed into the anti-static plastic pouch as it is
packaged. Do not open the pouch before you install the card.
2. Turn off the computer power and remove the power cable from your computer power
supply.
3. Remove the computer cover. Make sure that you have an available PCI slot in your
motherboard to install the Audioterminal 010. Please refer to user’s manual of your
computer to remove the cover.
4. To avoid possible static shock to the computer parts, discharge it by touching the
computer case or grounded ports. We recommend you to use an anti static device such
as anti-static wristband.
5. When you need to hold the Audioterminal 010 PCI card, please, hold it on the guide. Do
not grab the card by the board.

3. Installing Audioterminal 010 PCI card
1. Please look for an empty PCI slot. IF you do not know which one is an actual PCI slot,
Please read the following;
There are 3 kinds of slots in recent computers. The PCI slot is most common and is used for
different types of devices from soundcard to the modem. Usually, the PCI slot is the white-
colored slot. The ISA slot is used in older computers and it is marked with a black slot. The
AGP slot is only for the video card and is the most recent type of slot.
It is marked with a brown slot and is located close to the CPU. It will be not too hard to find
the PCI slot for the Audioterminal 010.
2. If there is a guide next to the empty slot, please remove the guide using the proper
screwdriver.
