August 13, 1997
Gadget Labs announced today that the
Wave/4 PC digital audio card is now shipping worldwide. With 4 + 4 channels
of pro-quality digital audio and integrated MIDI interface, the Wave/4 card
is the first PC card to enable true multi-channel recording and playback of
digital audio for $399*.
"The features of the Wave/4 card are modeled after the highly successful,
mini-studio tape recorder. We created a basic building block that enables
musicians and multimedia producers to easily expand their creative tools
into the new world of PC-based digital audio", said Rob Ranck, company
founder. "Unlike other cards that only offer 2 input channels or lack
integrated MIDI, the Wave/4 card is a complete mini-studio hardware solution
. Combined with the processing power of the PC and music audio software,
the Wave/4 card is the first to offer uncompromising pro-quality audio and
features at a breakthrough price."
The Wave/4 card uses high-quality, discrete digital converters to achieve
professional quality audio with greater than 90 dB dynamic range. The card
incorporates Gadget Labs' exclusive SoundCache architecture to produce
glitch-free audio recording and playback. Designed to be truly "plug and
play", the Wave/4 card is easy to install with no switches to configure. It
is shipped with software drivers for Windows. 95 and includes the GoldWave
audio editor. Compatibility with leading music/audio applications such as
Cakewalk Pro Audio, Cubase VST, Cool Edit, Musicator, Samplitude and SAW is
ensured with the Wave/4 card's full support of Microsoft standard WAVE
device interfaces.
Available immediately, the Wave/4 card will be sold through a global network
of distributors and retailers. A complete list of distributors is available
