External audio system for gamers and DJs, but audio enthusiasts will be left wanting

Pros: Good-value surround capabilities; at least one balanced audio in with phantom power; ground terminal for decks Cons: Main audio I/Os are coaxial phono (unbalanced); no Mac drivers as yet; a single XLR/TRS audio in Overall: Home-recording...

Terratec's DMX 6Fire USB is a USB 2 version of the company's PCI audio/Midi sound card, which was only available to PC users. The USB 2 box includes Mac drivers, although only for those with an Intel processor, and is aimed at musicians, DJs and...

The audio quality from the DMX 6Fire is excellent. When compared to audio output through our iMac's headphone jack, it was brighter, punchier and had a wider dynamic range. At 200, it's not cheap, but if you need a way of adding multiple, high-quality,...

Rather than upgrading your notebook to one of the all-singing, all-dancing models, you could opt to improve its audio quality with the addition of a small device from Terratec.

Adding to its extensive range of TV, video and audio based products, Terratec has recently introduced a USB media card as part of its Aureon brand range. This new product is the Aureon Dual USB device which has been designed to add multi media...

Good-value surround capabilities ; at least one balanced audio in with phantom power ; ground terminal for decks

Main audio I/Os are coaxial phono (unbalanced) ; no Mac drivers as yet ; a single XLR/TRS audio in

Home-recording enthusiasts will want more, but gamers and DJs will appreciate its sturdiness, sound quality and connectivity

External audio system for gamers and DJs, but audio enthusiasts will be left wanting

Despite the word 'fire' in the name, Terratec's latest take on budget audio/Midi I/O is USB2, not Firewire.

External audio system for gamers and DJs, but audio enthusiasts will be left wanting

Neither as good-looking nor as powerful as the Philips Aurilium, and not much cheaper, either.

Convenient and simple with full, rich audio.

Ugly design.

An impressive soundcard at a bargain price.

How will Terratec fare in the Creative-dominated consumer market? From PC Plus 191, July 2002

Good for the money but...

A good all round sound card, complete with a small control panel application that would work well with an analogue set up. unfortunatley I was looking for a card capable of outputting 5.1 via the TOSlink optical cable to my surround system, this card...

Incompatability

PLEASE NOTE: This device does not support CD and minidisc machines (i.e. 44.1khz sampling rate) using the optical digital link, as confirmed by Terratec. No problems with analogue.

On par with Creative Labs

Sound quality easily equals that of Creative Labs sound cards and installed in minutes. Easy to use C-Media software bundle to adjust your desired sound. Well worth the money. This neat little card soon sorted out a crackly sound problem that I was...

Would buy again

I was devastated when my p.c couldn't locate my soundcard following a re-boot. But then I brought this and couldn't be more happier with it. It creates a whole new sound along with a program to have extra control over the audio effects. You can do just...

Good for Archiving

I bought this primarily to archive onto my PC some old Digital tape recordings I have (remember Digital Compact Cassette or DCC? it was like betamax to the minidisc's VHS, i.e. the format lost). Setup on Windows XP was easy, and I can now record on...

terrible

Fast delivery well packaged. but terrible product noisy and when phoning on poivy it whistles and screams.

Excellent cheap little sound card

I bought this so that I could use a headset-mic for Skype on my 2007 white Macbook (Mic signals need to be boosted in order to use a mic in the Macbook line input, and I don't have a special boosted mic). As a collateral benefit, I thought it might be...

ticks some of the boxes

This is a solidly constructed external soundcard, which has given my Sony Vaio laptop a record function at last, but it does have some limitations. I was surprised to discover that it is apparently not a duplex card - in other words it can process...

Terratec DMX 6Fire USB - Initial Impressions

Having decided that I needed a means of connecting my analogue Hi-Fi equipment to my computer, I was attracted to the following features of the Terratec DMX 6Fire USB :- i) Built-in support for the direct connection of a record turntable. ii) High...

Dis not do the business

I ordered this sound card to replace the one on my computer as I needed 5.1 supply for my speakers. After fitting the card and testing, I found the only sound output was from the centre/sub woofer socket and none at all from the satellite sockets. I...
