16 channels of ADAT in 1U new
      #128231 - 12/05/05 12:29 PM
Just noticed this - 16 channels of ADAT I/O in a 1U Rack package with all the cabling on the back of the unit.

http://www.cwaudio.de/index.php?seite=a16overview&lang=en

Anybody using one ? Looks like a good space saver over the Behringer/Alesis 8channel/1U solutions

But can it handle full duplex (16 D/A conversions simultaneously with 16 A/D convertions?

Quote creamware:

16 high-quality 24-bit/96 kHz AD/DA converters




They don't say 32 converters. By the looks of this spec, they use 16 hybrid converters that can do either AD or DA.

If you look at the images of the unit, it's clearly 16 inputs and 16 outputs, there would be no point in this unless the device is full duplex!

It's clearly a 16 in 16 out ADAT converter, the equivalent of 2 ADA8000's together. Looks great, the only question is the s/n specs aren't quoted, so I wonder if it's better or equivalent to the Behringers.

Yeah... Hans Zimmer! In the SOS feature you will see several in his racks.

Can't be bad, if he's using them!

the creamware converters are quite decent, a step or two above behringer.
