What soundcard for DJ monitoring (3channels needed)

2stepsteve · Feb 4, 2007, 07:33 PM

Hi all ive been using an external soundcard for DJing but would like to get an internal soundcard that will work with KX drivers.

It must be able to have 3 stereo channels for output and work with KX with ASIO.. Im guessing i would need a 7.1 card? Could you please point me to a certain SB card model that is good bang for buck and will meet my needs. Im lookin at a Audigy 2 ZS SB0350 would that be ok?

many thanks for help

any 5.1 live or audigy would do, 5.1 = 6 channels, thus 3 stereo outs. I don't know for sure on the newer audigies, but all older lives (like the sb0060) have 3 analog stereo outs to work with, and in addition to that you can get 3 stereo digital outs too, but in your case, the 3 analogs would be enough.

Also the SB0090 would be fine.
