The 4496-6 is the 6-Channel ADC configuration of the LavryBlue™ System.

The LavryBlue System is a modular design which allows the end user to populate the 1U 19" chassis with stereo modules that provide a variety of functions. Each unit may hold up to 4 channels of microphone preamplification, up to 8 channels of analog to digital conversion (ADC) or 8 channels of digital to analog conversion (DAC); or a combination of these functions. Each module has two channels and fills either 1 or 2 of the 4 available module slots in the chassis. Basic systems can be ordered with a minimum of one stereo module, allowing user installation of additional modules at a later date.

MODULES AVAILABLE FOR THE 4496 CHASSIS:
  • LavryBlue M-AD 824: a 2-channel ADC module requiring 1 module slot.
  • LavryBlue M-DA 824: a 2-channel DAC module requiring 1 module slot.
  • LavryBlue MicPre Module: a 2-channel microphone preamplification module requiring 2 module slots.

In addition to these modules, any chassis which includes any ADC channels will also include a LavryBlue M-Sync.

This multichannel clock synchronization module features ultra-stable crystal-referenced internal or external sync operation at 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz. Wide lock mode is available for non-standard sample rates or vari-speed operation.

One M∙SYNC is required to provide clocking and synchronization for all M∙AD824 AD converter modules contained in the same 4496 chassis; This module also provides Word Clock out to synch other units and allow multiple racks of LavryBlue to function as one system.

 ADVANTAGES OF THE MODULAR DESIGN:
  • Ideal for multi-channel systems.
  • Independent operation of the AD and DA converter clocking. Each M∙DA824 stereo DA converter module clocks from the incoming digital audio steam. This allows recording and playback at different sample rates with devices that are not synchronized; for example- record to a DAW at 96kHz while playing back a CD from a stand-alone CD player. Multiple M∙DA’s can also operate either independently for playback of unsynchronized sources at different sample rates, or sample-accurately in multi-channel systems.
  • Minimal systems can contain one AD, one DA, or one of each for stereo applications. Another popular configuration is one AD and two DA modules for “looping” a signal out of a DAW and monitoring the re-encoded signal; as in Mastering systems with analog and digital processing.
  • Microphone preamplifiers can be used independently of the converters, or with analog processing inserted between the MicPre and AD input.
  • Digital AES/XLR inputs and outputs are compatible with most SPDIF/RCA I/O using simple adapters or adapter cables.  
  • Field expandability allows the system to grow as your needs change or budget allows.

LAVRYBLUE 4496 CHASSIS SPECIFICATIONS

  • The 4496 Chassis is a standard 1U 19”rack unit.
  • Input Voltage-
    • “Universal” input accepts inputs of 90-264VAC, 47-63Hz, Internally fused 2.5A
  • Current Consumption @120VAC-
    • Steady-state: Typically less than 0.5A (Varies with configuration/number of modules).
    • Steady-state Maximum: 1A
  • Dimensions:
    • 19” wide x 11.5”deep x 1.75” high (Enclosure minus clearance for switches and connectors measures 10.5” deep)
  • Approximate Weight-
    • ~ 9 lbs (Varies with configuration/number of modules).

M-SYNC SPECIFICATIONS

  • INTERNAL CLOCK ACCURACY:
    • +/- 25 ppm (parts per million)
  • NARROW MODE LOCK RANGE:
    • +/- 150 PPM for standard sample rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, & 96 kHz.
  • WIDE MODE LOCK RANGE:
    • 42-50 kHz range in “LOW” 
    • 84-100 kHz range in “HIGH”
  • SYNC INPUT:
    • The unit accepts an input sync signal at the rear panel BNC labeled “SYNC IN.”
    • This can be either a standard: Sample rate WORD CLOCK “5V TTL level” (2.5V-5V amplitude) or an AES SYNC SIGNAL (2.5V-5V amplitude).
    • The input IS NOT internally terminated.
  • SYNC OUTPUT:
    • The unit provides an output sync signal at the rear panel BNC labeled “SYNC OUT.” The signal is useful for driving another LavryBlue 4496 system (for example a multi-channel application requiring more than 8 channels of A-to-D).  The output clock is a 75-ohm back terminated 3V signal (compatible with the BNC input of the next 4496 chassis and standard WORD CLOCK inputs).
