The
function of a converter is to take your analogue
signal and convert it into a digital signal that
your computer can read. This is one of the most
important components in the chain and it is worth
spending a little more on this.
The
Behringer Converter is a state-of-the-art 8-channel
converter with built-in phantom-powered Invisible
Microphone Preamplification (IMP) mic preamps.
You can connect analog audio signals directly
to a multitrack recorder or similar equipment
via the integrated ADAT interface and it takes
up only one rackspace. It will even connect the
digital signal of a multitracker via ADAT to the
8 line outputs of the DA8000. Selectable signal
conversion allows processing at 44.1kHz or 48kHz
with 24-bit resolution. The ADAT I/O can be operated
independently with an identical word clock signal.
The
Lucid AD 9624 A/D Converter is packed with features:
Stereo 24-bit, precision A/D conversion. Internally
generated sample rates of 96kHz, 88.2kHz, 48kHz,
44.1kHz, and 32kHz. External sync via cord clock.
User-selectable, 16-bit noise shaping. Simultaneous
AES/EBU (XLR) and S/PDIF (coaxial and TOSLINK)
digital outputs. 20 segment input level LED ladders
with peak hold and clip indicator.
