March 2008 - The New TerraTec Aureon Dual USB
An Affordable External Audio Solution with an Optical Digital Output
TerraTec Electronic now offers the Aureon Dual USB for everyone who wants to bring the latest audio technology to his or her computer at an affordable price. The Aureon stick endows the computer with the capabilities of a feature-rich multimedia center, quickly and easily. And any user wishing for a computer with a digital output will see that wish fulfilled because the Aureon Dual USB adds this feature to PCs that lacked it. The USB stick is available and retails for 19.99 euros.
Installation couldn’t be any easier: Simply plug the Aureon Dual USB into any available USB port on the computer – without the hassles of installing drivers or fussing with screws. Operating system compatibility is not an issue: This stick supports current Microsoft Windows versions as well as MAC OS 9, OS X, and Linux (given that USB audio support is compiled into the kernel).
The Aureon Dual USB package comes with several connection options, a stereo output for an active speaker system or headset, and an optical adapter for this output that feeds the digital signal to the home stereo system. This lets users enjoy music, films, and video games in loss-free digital sound quality over the living room audio-video system. A microphone input is also on board.
The Aureon Dual USB enriches every computer, especially notebooks lacking a digital interface. Of course, the new mini-stick also enhances the standard office computer by treating users to a fresh, compelling audio experience.
The upshot is that the Aureon Dual USB is the right sound stick for every occasion and application, be it music, video, games, chats, or VOIP.
