Digital Audio Denmark AX32 - 8 AES3 I/O Card w. SRC and LFH60 connector

AX32-CARD-M8

Flexible AD/DA interface configuration, with mic-pre option.

AX32 allows you to configure the number of AD Line and Mic channels and DA channels that you need. Analogue input and output channels can be configured in groups of eight for a total of 32 combined input and output channels. All input channels can be installed with mic-pres in pairs of two. The AX32 can be configured as only DA or AD or a combination here of.

The AX32 mic-pres has an outstanding performance with an equivalent input noise below -133 dB, and gain steps circuitry with relays ensuring that no un-linearly distortion is added to the sensitive microphone signal when amplified.

The AX32 DA converter provides high-performance output level and gain control. With a level steps

circuitry using relays the outputs can directly drive a monitoring system, ensuring high dynamic range and no disturbing clicks when changing formats or powering down.

Versatile digital interface structure.

AX32 has a fixed configuration of digital interfaces for connecting via AES/EBU, S/PDIF, MADI, Pro Tools® and IP Ethernet audio compliant to Dante. One additional card slot is available for other interfaces which can be optionally installed. Currently this slot can hold an optical MADI or S/PDIF TosLink interface .

Sync interfaces via word clock, AES11, Video, and all digital signal inputs. Sample rate can be set to internal or external, The sample rate can be set via all external devices.
