  • Page 2 ADC Users Manual Unique Product - a Long History The Platinum ADC has grown out of over 20 years of DAC development. Analog-to-Digital-Converters, ADCs, like DACs are generally designed with a chip from someone like Analog Devices or Burr Brown and simply put in a box. As a result, all which use the same chip sound about the same.
  • Page 3 Presets for Quick setup In each of these preset modes, the input pairs are mapped directly to the output pairs. So in the 8 channel ADC, each pair of analog inputs creates a stereo digi- tal output on each of the 4 digital outputs. In the Stereo ADC, the same input pair is duplicated on each of the 2 digital outputs as a stereo pair.
  • Page 4 Rear Panel Analog Details - 8 CH MODEL 8 Balanced Inputs – Each input is entirely independent, although input adjustments are grouped into pairs. So things like input gain can only be set separately for each pair of inputs. Output gain and mixing levels can be set for each channel. The input impedance is 100 kOhms.
  • Page 5 Rear Panel Analog Details - 2 CH MODEL 2 Balanced Inputs – All input and conversion settings are applied to both inputs. Only the output gain of each input channel and mixing levels can be set for each of the 4 output channels. The input impedance is 25 kOhms. Analog Single-Ended Inputs –...
  • Page 6: Front Panel Controls

    Power Power Input – This product must be plugged into a Signature or Diamond MSB power base with both analog and digital supplies. Power Base Connection Diagram Features and Controls This A/D is fully configurable with word lengths and bit depth adjustable up to with 32-bit output resolution, and sample rates up to 384 kHz.
  • Page 7 Global Menu Options The high level menu options have to do with global settings. They are settings that impact directly all the conversion parameters and all the output channels. Parameters that impact individual output channels are in the next section. See the Menu tree for details. Presets - Two basic presets are provided.
  • Page 8 Multichannel ADC Mixing Ground Gain Chart Input 1 Lift Pair 1 Ground Gain Input 2 Lift This chart shows how all inputs can be level adjusted and Ground Gain mixed into any number of output Input 3 Lift Pair 2 channels.
