Even using spare parts, a complete system can be cheap.
- one plug computer with ethernet: 75 euros
(or with wifi : < 100 euros)
- one usb 7.1 sound card: < 20 euros
- four or more small fullrange speakers: ?
The first step would be to create a complete software system with a good

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the brilliant feedback, and especially Michael and Eric for
their very detailed thoughts. I've got a lot to think about, but, for my needs,
it seems the expense of an 8-channel periphonic system will mostly depend on
the quality of speakers (and their mounting). My a
This other module (less than $30) is limited to 16bit
but seems to work at 48Khz with 8 channels:

I have one of these, and it's cheap and works well. The biggest issue is
the sample rate limitation; with 8 channels you can only run at 44.1 kHz.

It seems like they can be had for around $100.

On a mac it is very easy to create an aggregate audio device from several different units, even if
you can't physically lock their clocks together - which is, of course, the ideal way to do it. You
chose one of them as the master device which supplies the clock and OSX itself automatically handle

Sarang,
Here's my non-professional solution for 16 channels:
- One recent PC with 2 free PCI slots
- Two 7.1 PCI sound cards (16bit / 48KHz is enough)
- Linux (or OSX) with Jackd
- Basic soldering skills
- A bit of lecture and some luck :

Hi everyone,
I've been lurking for only a day, but Sampo's note gives me the courage to go
ahead and ask the first question I was hoping this group might help me answer.
I am interested in experimenting with periphonic sound synthesis using
Ambisonics and (likely) Matlab, for research purposes.
