Next is the Lynx L22-PCI. This card comes with a rudimentary 16-channel mixer program. I have found them to be durable and slightly more flexible than the Digigram cards. They run about $670.00 each. Again, capable of a 192 KHz sample rate on the analog input/outputs. Like Digigram, Lynx has several other sound cards with multiple inputs/outputs which are appropriate for broadcast applications.
Further, there are many ethersound systems coming into the product pipeline which convert audio directly to TCP/IP for routing over an ethernet 802.x based network. These systems are coming down in price and are being looked at more favorably by broadcast groups. This is the future of broadcast audio.
@John, That looks like a good card, but the sample rate is 96 KHz. The above cards all have 192 KHz sample rates, which are required if one wants to do base band audio and use the stereo generator in break away broadcast software.
hello
when thinking of a sound card and availability in local markets i cant find the ones you have mentioned the best i can find the creative sound cards with many levels. dose that do the job for a FM broadcasting?
sound cards like creative PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio or at best Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD
do you think that will do the job connected to the airmate usb Mixer using a good computer and a audio processor ?
Another major thing to note. MP3 is not fit for broadcast use. It is not a multi-generational robust codec algorithm. And in most if not all modern broadcast plants, there will be several conversions along the way. .wav or .bwf files are much better even for AM use, if you must compress use .mp2 files. MP3 files suffer from cascading algorithms with those multiple conversions in a broadcast plant.
