NDR Hamburg installs 64 channels
of AX24 for new
high-end studio
Press release, May 2009
NDR
Hamburg has installed 12 DAD AX24 analog/digital audio
converters following the successful completion of
listening tests as part of the network's Broadcast
Sound Studio 1 project.
"This was, without exaggeration,
one of the best acoustics-related technical
decisions for the NDR I have been involved in
during the past few years," comments NDR sound
engineer Michael Plötz. "The digital audio world
now enjoys incomparably good sound thanks to
the use of the AX 24 in the production chain
of this studio. The combination of a DAD AX24
and the SSL Duality console places us in a new
'analog/digital world'".

The completely reworked
Studio 1 and Regie 1 at NDR Radio's Funkhaus
am Rothenbaum is designed primarily for recording
the NDR Bigband, one of the best finest bands
in Germany. Studio 1 is built around a 72 fader
SSL Duality and Sequoia digital audio workstation
software. Eight NTP DAD AX24 converters are
connected via MADI to the workstation.

Set-up
details
The AX24
converters are interfaced to the Sequoia workstation
via a daisy-chained MADI connection, which
is fully delay-compensated and phase-aligned.
Phase shift throughout all 64 channels is
less than ±0.6 degrees at 10 kHz. Two of the
AX24 converters are equipped with AES/EBU
digital inputs and outputs to serve as high-end
audio to digital and digital to audio conversion
for TC M6000 and Lexicon L960 processors.
The remaining two AX24 converters are being
used for high-quality classical and jazz recording
on location.
