The E-MU 0404 PCIe Digital Audio Sound Card is a 24-bit 192kHz PCI audio interface that delivers everything you need to record, mix, and play back audio on your Window PC with hardware-accelerated effects and soft mixing.

The EMU 0404 PCI Express Sound Card includes 2 unbalanced 1/4" analogue inputs, 2 unbalanced 1/4" analogue outputs, optical and coaxial S/PDIF, and MIDI I/O. 24-bit/192kHz A/D/A converters deliver an incredible 111dB (A/D) and 116dB (D/A) signal-to-noise ratio. E-DSP hardware acceleration taken from E-MU's more expensive systems gives you an effects processor that can deliver over 16 simultaneous hardware-accelerated effects. The E-DSP processor frees your computer from running CPU-intensive plug-ins to boost performance. It ships with over 500 effects presets with allowances to add more plug-ins to your system as needed.

The E MU 0404 PCIe sound card works with all major Windows PC audio and sequencer applications offering faultless analogue and digital I/O, pristine sound quality, and all the hardware-accelerated effects, mixing, and monitoring of E-MU's popular 1820M, 1820, and 1212M Digital Audio Systems.
