Plug-and-play USB stereo adapter

This USB 2.0 sound card adds a stereo output and microphone input to any Windows or Mac system without requiring driver installation. The aluminium housing encloses a 2.1-channel audio chipset that delivers 16-bit resolution at 48 KHz and 44.1 KHz sampling rates. A two-foot extension cable is included for flexible placement on desktop or laptop setups.

48 KHz 16-bit 98 dB audio specification

The adapter supports a maximum sample rate of 48 KHz with 16-bit depth and a signal-to-noise ratio of 98 decibels, defining the fidelity ceiling for both playback and recording. USB 2.0 Hi-Speed operation ensures sufficient bandwidth while remaining backward compatible with USB 1.1 ports. These figures determine whether the device meets the quality requirements for voice chat, casual listening or basic content creation.

Two-foot extension cable included

The bundled USB extension cable lets the adapter clear crowded port clusters or reach a more convenient position without stressing the host connector. No software disc or configuration utility is supplied, reinforcing the driver-free experience across supported operating systems. The package contains only the adapter and the extension cable.
