Berhinger ULTRAGAIN DIGITAL ADA8200

ULTRAGAIN DIGITAL ADA8200

S/N: -

There are two ULTRAGAIN DIGITAL ADA8200 in the lab, one in the Stimulus cabinet (Unit A) and one in the MSR cabinet (Unit B). They are connected to each other via an 8-channel ADAT link.

Front Rear

Unit B receives input from the microphone via the Amplifier, sends the signal to Unit A which outputs it to the Speaker.

Unit A receives input from the Audio interface and sends the signal to unit B which outputs it to the MSR speakers amplifier.

Some notes of caution: - The ADAT units should never be touched by someone other than the NatMEG core team. - Phantom power should always be turned off (=green light). - Since the ADAT units are generally always on they tend to only last for a few years. No or cracking sound together with irregular light flashes generally means it is time to replace the unit.

Full Description

ADAT Digital Connectivity

Featuring innovative Cirrus Logic 24-bit A/D – D/A converters the ADA2800 can be used to achieve incredible audio/digital conversion with a detailed and pristine tone. The ADAT inputs and outputs can operated simultaneously or independently with a word clock and operate at either 44.1 or 48 kHz conversion rates both with full 24-bit resolution.
