{Sounding Board(R) Adapter {with ArtiSound(RM) Recorder Software for Windows(TM) {for IBM(R) PC, PS/2(R) and Compatible Computers Word of mouth dominated business long before computers. It's the natural way people communicate. The spoken word - whether howling, pleading, demanding or respectfully requesting - carries vast power that written words alone cannot. For serious business applications, the economical Sounding Board provides remarkable voice clarity through a phone-style handset, a familiar tool to make and listen to recordings. External connectors let you connect microphones and speakers. The Sounding Board is for the workplace, not the game room. You install the Sounding Board hardware and ArtiSound Recorder application as a Windows sound accessory. Use them to attach voice comments to documents in progress, create presentations and route them along network e-mail. On a LANtastic(R) network, e-mail becomes voice mail, allowing users to chat in real time or send voice messages. RCA- type jacks give you a standard audio connection for music and sound effects through CD players, tape recorders and amplifiers for record or playback. Standard telephone handset connection provides broad flexibility for directly attaching a wide range of telephone accessories. In Windows 3.1, the Sounding Board uses the Windows' Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) protocol, so you are a click away from adding the sound dimension to a spreadsheet, word processing document, e-mail message or any Windows application supporting OLE. Incorporated into the Sounding Board software are some of the tools from the Artisoft Voice Programmer's Interface(TM) with which you can create voice functions in existing applications. The complete VPI(TM) (available separately) works with Sounding Board, enabling developers to create new dimensions of voice and sound in software. Under its original name of LANtastic Voice Adapter, the Sounding Board system won the PC Magazine 1990 Technical Excellence Award(R). The Sounding Board kit gives business users an award-winning voice in Windows and LAN environments - for a very attractive price. {Benefits {} Compatible with Windows' Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) protocol {} Installs easily into standard 8-bit or 16-bit slot {} Mixes multiple sound sources in one file {} Supports MULAW and PCM file protocols {} Selects recording rate from 8, 11 or 22khz {} Autosenses rate and file protocol of imported files {} Compatible with other popular sound boards (SoundBlaster(R), Thunderboard(TM) etc.) under Windows {} Connects to sound devices such as tape recorder, CD player or amplifier through RCA-type input and output jacks {} Connects standard telephone accessories such as headsets and speaker phones directly to the PC {} Works with Microsoft Windows 3.1 and with Windows 3.0 multimedia extensions {} Includes handset for private and convenient record and playback {} Operates in full duplex (simultaneous record and play) {} Includes selected developer's tools from Voice Programmer's Interface {Specifications {PC requirements {} IBM PC and compatibles or PS/2 Micro Channel(R) and compatibles {} 8-bit expansion slot {} One or two DMA channels {} Approximately 5K of RAM for resident driver {} MS-DOS(R) 3.1 or higher (3.2 not recommended) {Power requirements {Standard bus {} +5V @ 330mA {} ñ12V @ 33mA {Micro Channel {} +5V @ 600mA {} ñ12V @ 35mA {D/A conversion {} 8 bits/sample {} æ225 law companded {Sampling rate {} 7990.1 HzBandwidth {} 200Hz-3400Hz {Selectable jumpers (ISA bus only) {} J1: enables DMA channel 1 {} J2: enables DMA channel 3 {} Enable both channels to support full duplex operation {DMA Channels {Standard bus {} Channels 1 and 3 {Micro Channel {} All Micro Channel DMA channels are available {} Software selectable {External interface {} P-1 handset, 0.2V peak-to-peak Standard female telephone handset jack (M4P4C).
