市占率最高的主板音频Codec厂商Realtek近期释出了他的最强IC ALC268!
作为主板上最常见的板载音频、亿太网芯片提供商,Realtek向我们展示了它最新的2+2声道高精度音频编码译码芯片(High Definition Audio Codec)。
Realtek的螃蟹标似乎在向众人预示则音频集成时代,Realtek横行无忌的霸气。在上月的台湾Computex2007大展上,Realtek向前来参观的游客着力展示的就是这款被寄予厚望的超强音频IC!
展示现场虽然有成品演示,但是对于音频发烧友来说,这些设备实在只能算是简陋。
但是支持192KHz的采样频率、支持杜比环绕、支持DTS以及支持SRS等众多前卫音频技术的ALC268绝非泛泛。他可以满足各类外接设备的需要。
通过音效处理,可以令没有配备完整5.1声道系统的使用者将可以感受到它所营造的Dolby Sound Room(杜比音效大厅)效果,而拥有完整5.1声道系统的消费者则能享受到Dolby Home Theater(杜比家庭影院)的美好感觉。至于配备7.1声道系统的玩家,则可以使用娱乐PC提供的Dolby Master Studio(杜比高级录音室)音效功能,并且还能结合真正的Dolby Digital(杜比数码)进行全数字录音。下面我们为大家介绍这颗芯片的详细规格信息。
ALC268系列是一款通用音频架构4声道高精度音频编码译码芯片(High Definition Audio Codec),它最大的特点就是内建两个立体声DAC以及两个立体声ADC。两个DAC提供四声道回放支持,而ADC支持两个独立的立体声模拟输入。
ALC268融合了Realtek的专用变换器技术,令芯片达到了95dB的动态范围回放能力以及90dB的录音动态范围。ALC同样支持数码麦克风输入功能,内建4个数字麦克风输入通道,并具备回响抵消(Acoustic Echo Cancellation)、波束成型(Beam Forming)、噪音抑制(Noise Suppression)技术 。这些技术都极大的提升了板载声卡的音频性能指标,降极大的改善PC的VoIP应用能力。
ALC268可以适应ICH系列南桥以及其他HDA音频控制器,并可兼容EAX/Direct Sound 3D/I3DL2/A3D。
