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.
Analog Single-Ended Inputs – With a conversion cable, single-ended inputs can be used. The input impedance is 50 kOhms.
Input Levels – The ADC offers a high and low range input.
Low Gain Setting 0db: 26Vpp 9.28Vrms
High Gain Setting 0db: 13Vpp 4.64Vrms
Settable Gain: up to +60db (with plug-in)

Output Mixing - Each of the 10 output channels can be made up of any mix of the 8 input channels, at any levels. This allows multiple
mixes to be output simultaneously.
Balanced digital – The 4 AES/EBU Professional outputs provides 2 digital outputs from each XLR connector. The balanced nature of
this input allows great cable lengths as well as total noise immunity. Limited to 384 kHz, 24 bit data.
Single-ended digital – The Clock Output BNC connector can be set up as an additional digital output, giving you a 9th and 10th single-
ended digital channels. They are set up entirely independent of the other channels and are limited to 384 kHz, 24 bit data.
MSB Network – The MSB Network uses CAT-6 cabling. It provides an output for use with other MSB products. It can handle 8 channels
of data up to 384 kHz and 32 bits. It has an exact copy of what is output from the XLR outputs channels 1 to 8 except that it can handle
32 bit data.
RS-232 – The RS-232 interface is used for controlling the ADC using a remote system.
Clock Interface (advanced users)
Clock In – This clock input is for syncing to a studio system. It can be used with any of the standard clock rates. The input can be
configured to be either word clock, S/PDIF clock or a 512 times clock. The settings must match the clock provided. The 512 input
will determine if the output is a multiple of 44.1 or 48. The menu settings will determine which multiple is picked - 48, 96, etc.
512 times Clock - This clock is like a master clock. It is 512 times the frequency of the base or lowest sample rate. The following output
frequencies are made from each of two possible clocks as follows:
· 44.1, 88.2, 176.4 or 352.8 kHz sampling frequency source outputs or inputs a clock frequency of 22.5792 MHz
· 48, 96, 192 or 384 kHz sampling frequency source outputs or inputs a clock frequency of 24.576 MHz.
