DAD-I/O modules

DAD-I/O Modules


The AX24, Axion, ADDA 2408 and ADDA 2408-r use DAD-I/O modules to provide a variety
of different digital interfaces for connecting multi channel digital audio signals.
The DAD-I/O modules connects to the A/D, D/A and D/D converters inside the AX24, Axion, ADDA 2408 and ADDA 2408-r through the internal DADBus interface.

    4 channel D/A converter:
    4 channel D/A converterThe 4 channel D/A converter module is able to output 4 balanced
    analog channels at line level. The maximum output level is adjustable
    between +12dB and +27 dB.
    Up to two modules can be installed in the AX24, Axion, ADDA 2408
    and ADDA 2408-r giving a total of 8 D/A channels.

    The 4 channel D/A converter module is available in two versions. One capable of PCM
    sample rates up-to 96 kHz for use in the ADDA2408 products. The other D/A module is
    capable of the PCM sample rates up-to 192 kHz, DSD and DXD. This module only oprates
    in Axion and AX24.

    When installed in the ADDA 2408 the 2 monitor D/A channels of the can be combined with
    4 channels of one D/A converter module for 6 channel surround monitoring.

    Dual AES3-S/PDIF digital I/O:
    8 channel AES3 digital I/OThe Dual AES3-S/PDIF I/O module is a 2-channel (stereo) module intended
    for interfacing stereo input and output channels of the AX24, ADDA 2408,
    ADDA 2408-r and Axion.
    The connection is made via XLR, optical S/PDIF and Coax RCA connectors.

    The Dual AES3-S/PDIF I/O module is able to interface stereo input and output channels at up to 96 kHz
    of sample rate in single wire format.
    The Dual AES3-S/PDIF I/O module is handy for easy interfacing to digital outboard equipment like DAT recorders, CD players and digital effect boxes.

    Specifications:

    Connectors
    XLR, optical TOS link and Coax RCA in/out
    Formats AES3, S/PDIF, 96 kHz single-wire
    Sample Rates 44.1 to 96 kHz
     

    8 channel AES3 digital I/O:
    8 channel AES3 digital I/OThe 8 channel AES3 I/O module is an 8-channel module intended for
    interfacing all 8 input and output channels of the ADDA 2408, ADDA 2408-r,
    Axion and AX24 according to AES3. The connection is made via a 25 pin
    female D-sub connector, and the pinning can be set for compliancance to
    3 different pin allocation formats.

    The AES3 I/O module is able to interface 4 input and output channels at 176,4 and 192 kHz as
    a dual wire format, and 2 input and output channels at 352,8 and 384 kHz as a quad wire format.
    Two AES3 I/O modules can be installed in the AX24, for a total of 8 176,4 and 192 kHz channels
    and 4 352,8 and 384 kHz channels.

    See the DAD-IO module description for information on the supported pin allocations:

    8 channel MADI digital I/O (AX24 & Axion only):
    8 channel MADI digital I/OThe 8 channel MADI module makes it possible to interface 8 channels of the
    up-to 64 channels, which is available in a standard BNC MADI input and output
    connector. The MADI module supports input and output all the PCM rates up-to
    192 kHz as well as DSD and DXD. The interface can be configured to operate
    in a daisy chain for connecting more converters to the same MADI link. The MADI
    interface can be set to access any of the up-to 64 MADI channels in any configuration in blocks of 8
    consecutive channels. All "unused" channels are linked trough the interface with very low latency of
    only a few samples.
