Overview
The RAVENNA ASIO Driver is intended for owners of Horus hardware using Windows 7 who wish to work in ASIO
RAVENNA mode.
ASIO
Steinberg's Audio Stream Input/Output (ASIO) provides audio stream connectivity between software applications
and audio hardware on Windows.
System Requirements
Wintel platforms tend to increase in number of cores, speed and performance at a tremendous rate. New and
faster processors are released almost on a monthly basis.
We maintain a list of up to date PC configurations in the Support Section of our website at:

Certified PC Operating Systems (OS)
We recommend installing the ASIO driver under Windows 7 Professional 32 bit or 64 bit.

tions of Windows 7 (32-bit). The ASIO driver is NOT supported under XP or Vista.
Warning: NEVER attempt to install the Driver on Windows NT Server
The ASIO Driver has been tested and qualified on Windows 7 Professional 32 bit and 64 bit

• The RAVENNA ASIO driver supports up to 4fs (192kHz)
• Windows 7 - 32bit & 64bit (make sure that you download the correct installer)
