Applications
The Turtle Beach Santa Cruz was a well-regarded PCI sound card targeting PC enthusiasts and home studio users in the late 1990s and early 2000s, competing with Creative's Sound Blaster Live! series. It uses the Crystal CS4630 chipset, which supported hardware-accelerated DirectSound3D and EAX environmental audio for gaming, as well as clean stereo analog output favored in light music production and home recording setups. The Santa Cruz is commonly sought today for retro/vintage PC builds running Windows 98, 2000, or XP, where its driver compatibility and analog audio quality make it a popular alternative to the more ubiquitous Creative cards. The DB15 gameport is useful in legacy systems needing analog joystick or MIDI keyboard input. This card fits any desktop PC with a standard PCI slot.
This Turtle Beach Santa Cruz TB400-2541-02 PCI Sound Card has been tested and is in good working condition. The board is clean with normal handling wear consistent with prior use. The color-coded audio jacks and DB15 gameport connector are present and intact. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
