As the only solution that hardware accelerates QSound Labs' most advanced 3D algorithms, the ThunderBird Avenger utilizes patented algorithms developed natively for speaker playback, eliminating the need for the cross-talk cancellation that burdens other solutions. Additionally, the ThunderBird Avenger offers the industry's broadest 3D API support. With the highest concurrency in the industry, the ThunderBird Avenger reaches up to 96 simultaneous 3D streams for a broader range of audio sounds, which also makes the audio output sound more realistic. Additionally, this solution supports 256 DirectSound streams, up to 320 wavetable voices, MIDI music synthesis and offers an integrated game port for analog and digital joysticks. Sample quantities are available now and will be shipping in quantity during Q1 2000.
Reference designs for both solutions are available upon request.
