Eight channel AD Converter for 24bit / 96kHz
Introduction
The Fostex Model AC2496 is a 24 bit/96kHz compatible (compatible only to S/P DIF)
professional-use 8 channel A/D converter that converts analog input signals to digital
signals (adat or S/P DIF). It can be utilized to increase the number of inputs of Fostex
digital multirecorders D1624/D2424 and for substituting inputs of digital mixers and
personal computers.
Functions of the Model AC2496 can be extended according to the application by em-
ploying an optional Model 8355 (AES/EBU card) and Model 5045 (8 channel AD card).
When the 8355 is installed in an AC2496, it is possible to transmit 24 bit/96kHz digital
signals (8 channels) which is otherwise impossible to transmit in ADAT IN/OUT.
If a 5045 is installed, the 8 channel analog inputs of the AC2496 can be extended to 16
channels.
