Announcement and pre-order campaign: AmiGUS sound card
After 1 year of development time, we are proud to announce a new and exciting piece of hardware for the Amiga in 2025: the AmiGUS soundcard.

AmiGUS

Oliver Achten is responsible for the hardware development of the card. He developed the card with passion and attention to detail and also perfected the drivers in collaboration with his software team. Alinea Computer will be responsible for the production and support of the card.

GUS stands for "Great Unbelievable Sound", and that is exactly what we will be offering - a quantum leap in quality for Amiga sound cards.

No less than 24-bit, 192kHz is the premise here, and the good news is that this quality can be achieved on any Amiga, thanks to a fully featured hardware synth and mixing engine and CODEC chip for compressed sound formats.

Our goal is to bring high quality music production and reproduction back to the Amiga, making it an enjoyable experience for everyone.
