Terratec MAESTRO3296 User Manual
SoundSystem MAESTRO 32/96:
TerraTec’s high-end soundcard, honoured with more than 15 awards in PC magazines, even has been
improved with the latest technology and extended with a lot of new functions. The well established 4MB
GM/GS wavetable has been integrated onto the soundcard, a second MPU-401 interface was added and
an additional Waveblaster™ compatible connector now allows the simultaneous utilization of two
synthesizers on up to 32 MIDI channels (with an optional TerraTec Wave System or external MIDI
equipment). Of course this solid music machine provides the greatest comfort in installation and handling
with Plug and Play and complete software setup of all functions. An extended input circuit supports 2
external Line-In’s and one Microphone-In. The extremely noiseless design enables simultaneous record
and playback up to 48 kHz with 16 Bit stereo in professional quality. Hereby the ATAPI-IDE interface
supports the high-speed data transfer of the latest CD-ROM drives. If a PC based HIFI center, a
professional musician’s tool or a Multimedia sound machine is wanted, the Maestro 32/96 is a must for
the enthusiastic user!
