Despite being over 30 years old, ADAT Lightpipe remains the number one way to add more inputs and outputs to your DAW.
This latest version of RME's award-winning ADI-2 Series A-D/ D-A converter boasts up to 768kHz operation, and is equipped with powerful dual headphone amplifiers capable of driving balanced headphones.
If a cable is long relative to the wavelength of the signal it is conveying it is said to behave as a 'transmission line' and the signal is passed as an eletromagnetic wave along the cable. In this condition, the cable itself has a 'characteristic impedance' which can be thought of as the impedance measured at the input if the cable is infinitely long, and it depends on the cable construction — the materials and their geometries — rather than the length. It is necesary to terminate each end of a transmission line with the same impedance as its characteristic impedance. if this is not done the propagating wave will be reflected from the ends of the cable, and the reflected energy can interfere with the source signals.
The characteristic impedance of typical coaxial video and S/PDIF digital cables is 75 Ohms, while AES3 and RJ45 Ethernet cables is around 110 Ohms.
Arturia have designed the AudioFuse 16Rig specifically to cater for electronic musicians. What does it offer that other interfaces don’t?
The MBOX Studio from Avid combines a 21 in / 22 out audio interface with monitor control, cue mixing facilities, DSP effects, and built-in re-amping functionality.
A hardware device which acts as the physical bridge between the computer’s workstation software and the recording environment. An audio interface may be connected to the computer (via USB, Thunderbolt, FireWire, Dante, AVB or other current communication protocols) to pass audio and MIDI data to and from the computer. Audio Interfaces are available with a wide variety of different facilities including microphone preamps, DI inputs, analogue line inputs, ADAT or S/PDIF digital inputs, analogue line and digital outputs, headphone outputs, and so on. The smallest audio interfaces provide just two channels in and out, while the largest may offer 30 or more.
The precise timing of digital audio samples is critical to the correct operation of interconnected digital audio equipment. The 'metronome' that governs sample timing is called the Word Clock (sometimes conjoined to 'Wordclock', or abbreviated to 'Wclk'). However, word clock does more than merely beat time; it also identifies the start and end of each digital word or sample, and which samples belong to the left or right channels. Digital interfaces such as the AES3 and S/PDIF embody clock signals within the data stream, but it is often necessary to convey a discrete word clock between equipment as a square wave signal running at the sampling rate. Dedicated word clock inputs and outputs on digital equipment generally use BNC connectors.
Building on Prism's high‑end converter range, the ADA‑128 caters for those working with high channel counts and multiple signal types.
