what type of soundcard is in the s4?
Hi all i was wondering if the s4 has the old audio 4 dj sound card in it. Or a updated one to work better with the new TP2?
Think you should read here

still doesn’t say if its a audio 2 or 4 Dj?
It’s technically not either. They have said it’s basically like an audio 4. The sound quality is said to be the same, I guess they both use the same chip set. Audio 4 has 2 stereo input channels and 2 stereo output channels. The S4 has 2 stereo inputs and 1 stereo output channel. The S4 also has a mic input and has the option of using either balanced TRS 1/4" main outs or RCA main outs, A4 doesn’t have any balanced outputs. I think these are the main differences between the 2.
I’m not sure any of NI’s soundcards are really going to work better than others w/ TP2. The newer A6 and A10 are obviously going to give you more input and output routing options, but whos to say wether or not they perform better considering neither the software or new soundcards are out yet.
I would say that the sound card in the S4 is more like an Audio 8. Why? 2 stereo in’s + mic (stereo?), 4 outs + headphone out + midi in/out. Heck maybe a Audio 6 with midi.
I agree, probably more like a 6 I think. But it’s not like you can pull it out and use it on it’s own.
Let’s all put in $20 to buy an S4 and donate it to one of those tech web sites that completely disassembles things and shares the inner workings/chipsets/etc!
no midi or mic on a audio 6 thats why i said audio 8
just curious thats all, dont get me wrong i still LOOOOOOVE my S4 and will never part with it…
untill something newer comes out 
Don’t argue with me. Go to your room!! 
no
