1. Hardware Installation

AUDIOTRAK

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the AUDIOTRAK Prodigy HD2.

Prodigy HD2 shows the latest technology in high end audio playback for audiophile users. The

hardware supports 192 kHz at 24-bit with a sensational dynamic range of 120dB(a) for playback -

no other hardware in this price range provides this high level of output quality. Even better: the

hardware is equipped with 3 OpAmps on sockets, this makes it possible to swap and exchange the

OpAmps based on specific requirements.

Prodigy HD2 is a Low Profile PCI card, shipping with a metal bracket for a conventional PCI slot

and with a bracket that allows the installation in Low Profile slots - this makes Prodigy HD2 perfect

for media center and home theater solutions where small PC cases are used.

The included driver software is providing perfect compatibility (ASIO, GSIF, WDM) under all

current Windows versions including Windows Vista, offering high performance and low latency

operation. DirectWIRE 3.0 support in the driver allows you to virtually patch your digital audio

sources internally between different software applications running at the same time.

2. System Requirements

Prodigy HD2 is a high end multimedia digital audio interface with many different functions and not

just a simple sound card. Even though Prodigy HD2 does not depend very much on the available

CPU in your system, it is important that the computer meets the minimum system requirements. A

faster CPU, faster HDD and more memory is generally recommended.
