Prism Sound 8C-AES Module

The Prism Sound 8C-AES AES3 I/O Module provides eight bidirectional channels of AES3 digital audio for the ADA-8XR mainframe

The 8C-AES AES3 I/O Module transmits eight channels of digital audio input and output for the ADA-8XR on four AES3 carriers in each direction. The input and output sections of the module are completely independent, which means they can be assigned to different paths* with different sample rates, sync sources, and other options. The AES3 I/O module can be thought of as two modules in one; one input module and one output module. 

Prism Sound 8C-AES - Just the Facts:

• Eight bi-directional channels of AES3 digital audio
• Accommodates up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution
• Independent input and output sections can support different sample rates and sync
• Functions like two modules in one
• Single- and dual-wire operation

Prism Sound 8C-AES - Under the Hood

The module can accommodate extended sample rates (up to 192kHz) in Split96 (two-wire) or high-speed (one-wire) modes, and can output consumer or professional Channel Status. Inputs and outputs may be connected via jumper to comply with either AES3 or S/PDIF carrier voltage levels and impedance. 

*The Prism Sound ADA-8XR has dual-path architecture, which allows independent operation of two 8-channel paths
