Hello all, I am looking to build a wavefield synthesis setup. I am looking to use about 32 channels more or less. I am currently thinking of using PCI or PCI express cards as they a reputed to be faster than USB/Firewire. The sound cards and drivers need to be relatively stable as it will be playing 32 channels at the same time. I am aware of Motus stuff but was wondering if anyone knew of any cheaper solutions ? I was wondering if there were any ADAT only output sound cards - I could then fit some Behringer DA converters, Someone also suggested a M-Audio Lightbridge but its firewire and I dont know how stable the drivers are = could it handle 32 channels simultaneously ? any suggestions appreciated,
for 32 channels i see two options: rme raydat (4x adat io), or, rather more future-proof, an rme hdspe madi and either a 32x ad/da such as the directout andiamo (very affordable and excellent quality), or a madi to adat bridge such as the one by rme, or the recently released directout exbox adat (converts madi i/o to 8x adat io).
