The E-MU 0404 PCI Card
The E-MU 0404 PCI card contains E-MU’s powerful E-DSP chip which leaves more
power free on your CPU for additional software plug-ins and other tasks. Bit depth is
controlled by your recording or audio application. The 0404 PCI card always sends and
receives 24-bit audio.
DB-9 & DB-15 Connectors
Connects the analog and digital breakout cables to the 0404 PCI card. Connect the 1/4”
Analog Breakout Cable to the DB-9 connector and the Digital Breakout Cable to the
DB-15 connector.
Analog Breakout Cable
The 0404 PCI card provides one pair of 24-bit unbalanced analog inputs and one pair
of 24-bit unbalanced analog outputs. The analog breakout cable is designed to accom-
modate 1/4” plugs. Use 1/4” to RCA adapter cables to connect to consumer audio gear.
Note:
You may have to combine adapters to connect desktop computer speakers. An
adapter with two male 1/4” phone plugs to 1/8” stereo female adapter is available
directly from E-MU Systems. (Call 1-888-372-1372, Mon-Fri, 9AM-6PM, Central Time)
The outputs can feed any line level input such as a mixing board, the auxiliary input on
your stereo, or a set of powered speakers. They are not designed to drive headphones
directly. Use a mixer, home stereo receiver, or headphone amplifier to monitor with
headphones.
