Computing Gadget: Ultra Clean USB Sound

Andrea Electronics revolutionizes PC sound with their all new PureAudio™ USB-SA high fidelity external sound card. Yes, it’s the shape of a USB stick, but it packs the power of even the most impressive sound cards. In fact, it’s designed to surpass the quality of hi-end sound cards.

Andrea Electronics is a specialist in noise cancelation technology and has incorporated their technology into the PureAudio™ USB-SA sound card. The idea is to provide superior tools for noise cancelation so conversations via VoIP, gaming chats, or on-line video such as YouTube will sound much better than from traditional sound cards found inside your PC.

One of the fundamental problems with sound cards inside your computer is their location. Sitting right next to a power supply or processor means there is audio degradation from noise emitted from these devices. By having the PureAudio™ USB-SA external sound card away from all this, your sound quality is greatly improved. Coupled with the Andrea Electronics noise cancellation technology it’s unlikely you’ll get anything as clean and clear as the PureAudio™ USB-SA.

Warning: At some point in the video, the sound gets so high that it might hurt your ears.
