Lucid AD9624/DA9624

Take your digital recording system to the next level with the addition of the AD9624 and DA9624, converters that bridge the gap between analog and digital equipment with true 24-bit resolution.  Both units support sample rates of 96kHz, 88.2kHz, 48kHz, 44.1kHz, and 32kHz. What’s more, the AD9624’s noise shaping function enhances the clarity of low-level material for superior imaging and realism when creating 16-bit masters.  The AD9624 accepts analog input via XLR connectors and outputs its digital bit stream simultaneously through AES/EBU and S/PDIF (coaxial and optical TOSLINK) connectors.

For maximum flexibility, the DA9624 receives input via these same three connector types, and it delivers analog output through XLR and 1/4'' connectors for interfacing with balanced or unbalanced equipment. A front panel headphone output provides a convenient way to monitor levels.  Easy-to-read, 20-segment LED ladders on both converters show you exactly where to set I/O controls for optimal A/D and D/A conversion. Rack the AD9624 next to the DA9624 using a Lucid RM-4 rack mount tray, or use either unit on its own for your specific interface requirements.

Lucid ADA8824

The Lucid ADA8824 is a leading-edge music production connection between your digital and analog gear. Versions are available for ADAT-optical lightpipe gear and SonicStudio workstations. Both units transfer eight channels of I/O simultaneously with 24-bit resolution digitally controlled attenuation of analog inputs and outputs with high-resolution LED metering help you realize your maximum dynamic range.

The ADA8824 turns your computer into a full-blown professional recording workstation, regardless of which console or recorder you use.  The ADA8824 provides eight channels of 24-bit A/D and D/A conversion, eight channels of AES/EBU I/O, and two channels of S/PDIF I/O. If you want more than eight channels of digital and analog I/O and you have the required software and computer speed, simply add more ADA8824s.  The ADA8824’s 24-bit resolution provides the utmost in quality and clarity. Its over-sampling 24-bit A/D technology produces 113dBu (A-weighted) of dynamic range, providing the sonic detail required by leading producers and engineers.

Your internal A/D sample rate can be set at either 48kHz or 44.1kHz. The ADA8824 can also be locked to an external AES reference signal or Word Clock. For D/A conversion, the ADA8824’s circuitry automatically locks to the sample rate of the incoming digital bit stream.  The ADA8824’s balanced connectors provide the immunity to RFI that professional’s demand. The analog and AES/EBU

connections both use XLR. In addition, you can drive analog inputs of any impedance using the balanced XLR output jacks.

Z-Systems Sample Rate Converters

The Z-2SRC Sample Rate Converter is an uncommonly good way to convert from one digital audio rate to another. The digital design provides the best audio conversion for CD to DAT, varispeed to 44.1, DAW to digital mixer, and other uses. Features include jitter reduction, format conversion, and external sync. Ins and outs are AES/EBU, S/PDIF, coax, optical, and XLR.

Get the same audio quality in a smaller, economical package with “Z-Link”.  It’s built on the analog devices AD1890 asynchronous chip and puts out 44.1 and 48kHz using precise crystal references.  You get switch-selectable AES/EBU and S/PDIF output flags on transformer-isolated RCA or BNC connectors, with 20-bit resolution, 120dB dynamic range, and -106dB THD+N. Yes the specs are impressive, and that’s what you want when your audio is at stake. The “plus” version adds AES sync input and loop-through for sync to other sample rates and sources.
