4G sound: hear the truth (Aureon 7.1 Space / Aureon 5.1 Sky)

4G is the audio standard that pros the world over depend on. Technology that captures sound realistically and meets the demanding requirements of one of your finest sensory organs-the ear. Approximately four years ago, a new trendsetting (converter) technology began to emerge in the studio environment which has since come to be used everywhere in music productions: "24 bit / 96 kHz" as the keyword for high resolution audio! It entered professional studios all over the world as the 4th generation of audio boards. TerraTec offers all of the advantages of this breakthrough technology under its "4G Sound" label: extremely dynamic recording and playback of audio signals with a resolution of 24 bits at 96 kHz!

Key features

  • 4G sound: 24-bit/96-kHz technology
  • Six discreet loudspeaker outputs
  • Output for 2, 4 or 6 (5.1) loudspeakers

The TerraTec SoundSystem Aureon 5.1 Fun is the answer for anyone wanting to equip their PC with current surround technology-without spending an arm and a leg for it.

The Aureon 5.1 Fun will be available in November.

Audio signals can be played back in outstanding quality at up to 48 kHz on up to six channels-with a choice of two, four or six speakers.
