ALP222e is a versatile PCIe sound card for professional PC-based audio systems running under Windows
and Linux environments.
Thanks to its reliability and stability, ALP222e matches with all applications such as broadcast (24/7/365),
audio production, and outstanding audio quality measurements. This card is ready for any challenge.
It offers two balanced line analog inputs plus one stereo AES3 input, two balanced analog ouputs plus one AES3 output.
A zero latency embedded mixer* allows to route and mix audio channels from physical and software input devices to physical and software output devices.
