Razer Barracuda AC-1 Gaming Sound Card

MODEL- RZ05-0013 VENDOR- RAZER USA FEATURES- Razer Barracuda AC-1 Gaming Audio Card The Razer Barracuda AC-1 Gaming Audio Card features a 7.1 channel output 24-bit audio technology and unprecedented 117dB SNR (output). The 117bB Signal to Noise Ratio (output) specification clearly outperforms all current soundcards in the market that only perform up to an average of 105dB. 

The Razer Barracuda AC-1 Gaming Audio Card is the world's first gaming audio card that performs up to a 117dB SNR. Gaming-specific positional audio Powered by Razer Fidelity allows gamers to take advantage of an expanded dynamic soundstage for gaming tuned frequencies with Razer ESP (Enhanced Sonic Perception). The in-built audio chip processes and optimizes audio signals from games to provide the ultimate positional gaming audio experience through the Razer 3D (720 degrees) Positional Gaming Audio Engine. The Passive EMI shield minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) by preventing unwanted interference from graphics cards and other electrical devices that may affect the gaming audio performance. 

The Razer Barracuda AC-1 Gaming Audio Card also features optimized proprietary software drivers to provide for the prioritization of enhanced gaming audio signals while leaving as small a memory footprint as possible. Razer HD-DAI (High Definition-Dedicated Audio Interface) further optimizes the Razer Barracuda IAS gaming audio experience by allowing for a proprietary connection for optimized signal transmission when used with the Razer Barracuda HP-1 Gaming Headphones.

The Razer Barracuda AC-1 Gaming Audio Card delivers optimized audio signals directly from the computer game to the gamer, creating the most realistic gaming environment. It features proprietary Razer audio technologies including the patent pending Razer Enhanced Sonic Perception architecture to allow gamers to pinpoint the exact location of enemies more accurately than before.
