Sound Power 2.0 features and 11-voice FM music synthesizer, which produces
an orchestra of rich, realistic instrumental music.  Through an 8-bit
Digital-to-Analog (DAC) Converter, the board can produce all types of
digitized sound at a sampling rate of up to 22 kHz.  It can also digitize
and record a range of live sounds through a dynamic microphone (not
included).  Radio Shack stores carry a complete selection of dynamic
microphones.

The board includes a 2.5 watt-per channel stereo audio amplifier that can
directly drive earphones, headphones, or non-powered or powered speakers.
The board's MIDI interface can be connected to certain electronic keyboards
and computers.  This interface is accessed through the Game Port(joystick
jack).  The sound board includes connection jacks for speaker audio,
microphone input, line input (for inputting CD ROM drive sound), and a
joystick .  You can adjust the volume using the volume control knob or
through your software.

The Utility software included in your package includes:

SOUND TRACKS;  A TSR* program which lets you play a library of songs and
other prerecorded sounds on your system.

MULTIMEDIA DRIVERS:  Software which lets you use the sound board with
Windows 3.1 and other multimedia software.
