UV22HR word length reduction technology. The converters sync to internal clocks or to an external Word Clock through the use of Apogee low jitter clock technology. Digital outputs are ADAT lightpipe as standard and can be configured to output Sonorus S/MUX protocol for sample-splitting high-resolution signals into optical interfaces.
Apogee AD-16 User’s Guide Channel 1-16 OVER LEDs These LEDs will illuminate when a digital OVER is sensed at the digital output for the respective channel. These can be set to automatically clear after 2 seconds or infinite hold with rear panel DIP switch #2. The number of consecutive samples containing “all ones”...
Apogee AD-16 User’s Guide AES Digital Pinout The AES output is delivered through a single, female DB25 connector. The AES I/O MALE DB25 pinout is similar to the “Yamaha” DB25 specification, except that all channel pairs are configured as outputs. The pinout is as follows:...
Apogee AD-16 User’s Guide Level Trim These multiturn trimmers adjust the level sensitivity of the individual A/D sections.
