To install and use the software that accompanies your SW1000XG package, at least 20 MB of hard disk
space is required.
CD-ROM Drive: All the software that came with your sound card is included on the supplied CD-ROM that
accompanies the SW1000XG card.
PCI Expansion Slot: To install the sound card, an empty PCI slot is required. Please also ensure that
sufficient space is left between adjacent cards to accommodate the KENTON X board PLG card, and ribbon
cable connection to the D-SUB front plate. You will also need a free backplate slot on your computer to
accommodate the D-SUB connector if connecting PLUGSTATION to the SW1000XG.
Please ensure that when re-fitting your SW1000XG and KENTON X board inside your PC or Macintosh, that
sufficient space is left between adjacent cards, and do not let any component part of the SW1000XG or the
KENTON X board come into contact with other components inside your PC.
For stand alone use, you will require a minimum 8 channel analogue mixer to utilise all of the individual
output capabilities of the Y board, plus if you wish to use the ADAT output, you will require an ADAT
compatible audio device, such as a digital mixer, ADAT tape unit, or ADAT-ANALOGUE conversion unit.
ADAT is a format type developed by ALESIS, and is not restricted solely to the ADAT tape machine, but can
be found on a wide range of digital audio devices. It is an 8-channel digital transfer system, which offers very
high quality signal capabilities down a single optical cable.
NOTE: THE OPTICAL LINK PROVIDED BY THE ADAT OUTPUT IS ADAT FORMAT ONLY AND IS NOT
COMPATIBLE WITH THE 2-CHANNEL TOSLINK SYSTEM USED BY MANY MINI DISC RECORDERS
AND LOW COST DIGITAL DEVICES.
