TC ELECTRONIC POWERCORE PCI MKII - FUORI PRODUZIONE

The potent PCI mkII & Express card for built-in PowerCore plug-in acceleration
The PowerCore PCI mkII fits into a standard PCI/PCI-X slot and the PowerCore Express fits into a PCI Express slot – that’s the only difference between the two cards. Both of them come with the same amount of plug-ins and feature set and they are a potent combination between 14 state-of-the-art processing plug-ins and 4 x 150 mHz DSPs. The plug-in bundle that comes with the PCI and the Express card, consists of the 14 plug-ins known from PowerCore FireWire and PowerCore X8, leaving you with a bunch of versatile and professional tools, and it sports the same performance as the rack-based PowerCore FireWire. Pick’n’ choose your favorite plug-ins.
