Sound Blaster VIBRA 16
The Sound Blaster VIBRA 16 was released as a cost-reduced Sound Blaster 16 that supported Plug and Play for Microsoft Windows operating systems. It lacked separate bass and treble control, an ASP/CSP socket and Wave Blaster connector. Later, more integrated VIBRA chips featured a cost-reduced replacement for the OPL-3 FM support termed CQM synthesis, which largely emulated the features of the OPL-3 chip. However, as it was not a true OPL-3, its output tended to sound noticeably different from that of a real OPL-3, though it was still much more faithful-sounding than the wavetable-generated output of the later AudioPCI-based sound cards.
The following model numbers were assigned to the Sound Blaster VIBRA 16:
- CT12**: CT1260, CT1261, CT1262
- CT22**: CT2260
- CT28**: CT2800, CT2810, CT2860, CT2890
- CT29**: CT2900, CT2940, CT2941, CT2942, CT2943, CT2945, CT2950, CT2960, CT2970, CT2970, CT2980, CT2990
- CT41**: CT4100, CT4101, CT4102, CT4130, CT4131, CT4132, CT4150, CT4173, CT4180, CT4181, CT4182
Note: various PCBs with the same model number were shipped with a different configuration regarding CD-ROM interfaces and sockets.

Famous quotes containing the word sound:
“I’m no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system—that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.”
—Harper Lee (b. 1926)
