    44,1 kHz 48 kHz, 64 kHz, 88,2 kHz to 96 kHz, and convert between the professional and the consumer AES/EBU format. ADDA 2402 has high precision internal oscillators with a stability of +/- 5 parts per million (PPM) controlling the sample-rates. The ADDA2402 can also be synchronised to an external reference signal complying with AES 11 Please refer to section 5, references for an explanation of AES 3.

    Connecting the analog audio cabels After you have turned down the level on your sound system, you can rig the ADDA 2402’s analog audio cables. You will find two balanced XLR input connectors marked L-Analog in-R. On The right side of the XLR input connectors you will find two Jack input connectors marked L/R for unbalanced input.

    After start-up the ADDA 2402 has to calibrate for about 20 seconds. It is recommended to leave the ADDA 2402 on for approximately 5 minutes in order to warm up, and then activate the sample-rate selection or digital input source switch. This will cause the converter to recalibrate, and improve the dynamic range in a region of 1 to 2 dB.

    By pressing the Power Button in stand-by mode, the converter re-enters the operation mode, with all power restored. If the main switch on the rear panel is switched off there will be no power on the ADDA 2402. The Peak Meter The ADDA 2402 is equipped with a very precise Fast Peak Programme Meter (PPM) for monitoring the level of the analog input signal.

    DITHER The dither of the ADDA 2402 is implemented by using a psychoacoustic noise shaping filter for truncating the 24 bit audio word to 16, 18 or 20 bits, while the 24 bit sound quality is preserved. A detailed description of the dither algorithm can be found in the AES paper: “Psychoacoustically Optimal Noise Shaping”...
  • Page 23 ABSTRACT When converting audio between the analog and digital audio domains, the well-known effects from alias signals have to be taken into consideration. Generally, audio converters do not have adequate filtering to eliminate this kind of spectral distortion. During recent works it has been concluded that the sound quality of digital recordings can be drastically improved when applying efficient stop-band filtering.

    INTERMODULATION DISTORTION Nyquist Frequency Intermodulation distortion is a type of distortion 44.1 kHz sample rate where non-linearities in the signal path generate modulation between all the frequency components of the signal. The primary source for IM distortion in the audio signal path is the loudspeaker. This is due to the non-linear behaviour of the speaker cone, which of course depends on the loudspeaker type and quality.
