Does anyone know whether a PCI card exists that will act as an audio active crossover network? Ie it should accept a digital input from a PC soundcard then be capable of splitting it digitally into a number of frequency bands (at least 3), with user definable cut off frequencies and attenuation rates. Obviously seperate outputs should be available for each frequency band per channel. Or is it pie in the sky? ;=} Martin

I think you are much more likely to find software running on a PC to do such a thing. Combined with a digital input/multiple-output sound card or cards, this should get you what you want.

As you've probably gathered I'm no expert on sound cards, but so far I've not come across any card that offers the type of control I require. If you know of a particular card or independent software or any combination of the above that will answer to my needs I'd be more than grateful if you would share it with me. Best wishes, Martin.

The RME cards are another alternative (http://www.rme-audio.com/english/soundcds.htm). You could write your own software for this - a bit tedious perhaps, but possible. -- Stephan M.

Now it's just a question of software!
