The DAD AX24 Converter System is Musical, Correct, and Flexible
AX24 allows you to config the number of line and Mic channels that you
need at the sample rate currently used. Analog in and output channels
can be expanded in pairs of two. Especially configurations like 2 or 4
analog input channels and 6 analog output channels are very suitable for
mastering or multi-track productions where only few analog input
channels are used simultaneously but monitoring in 5.1. is essential.
Features
Fully Modular - 224 different configurations
Sample rates and I/O structure can be upgraded
From 2 to 8 analog Line or Mic input channels
From 2 to 8 analog output channels
24 bit PCM sample rates up to 384 kHz
DXD sample-rate: 352.8 kHz
DSD sample rates: 64fs & 128 fs
Digital I/O: MADI, AES3, TDIF, and ProTools
Digital DSD formats compatible with MADI and SDIF-3
Integrated Mic pre with analog gain
Full remote controllable via RS-422, USB or Ethernet
Mic pre controls can be represented on the channel strip of major consoles and work stations
24 bit PCM sample rates up to 384 kHz, DXD and DSD AX24 is based on the Digital Audio Denmark high quality multi bit
converter and modulator design, using a 5 bit delta sigma modulator.
AX24 offers A/D and D/A conversion in PCM up-tp 384 kHz, DSD at 64fs or
128fs and DXD at a sample-rate of 352.8 kHz. AX24 covers applications
for music recording as well as mastering and monitoring in DSD.
Mic pre with analog gain
in 3 dB steps and digital gain with 0.25 dB accuracy is available for
AX24 providing a sonically very transparent integrated Mic pre and ADC
design. The Dynamic range is between 118 & 121 dB and the Mic pre
equivalent noise floor is at -130 dB. AX24 offers an impressive dynamic
range , making it the quietest and most transparent converter on the
market.
Full remote controllable via USB or Ethernet AX24 is ideally suited for stage box applications or machine room
environment, due to the powerful remote control. The remote control
interface is RS-422 and can be adapted to USB, Ethernet or other data
formats providing a very flexible control structure.
The DADman control utilities, provides various control interfaces for MAC and PC This enables the Mic pre controls can be represented on the
channel strip of major consoles, and various DAW including ProTools HD
Modular Interface structure
All DAD-I/O modules are available for AX24 providing interfacing for the
most used PCM formats up-to 96 kHz. Additionally the 8 channel AES3
module can interface 192 kHz and 384 kHz on a multiple wire interface.
The MADI interface
Supports all the sampling formats of the AX24, and is an extremely
powerful and capable interface MADI which 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 and the converter 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.
External synchronization to AES 11, Word Clock, Super clock or video (PAL, NTSC, SECAM)
The built-in PLL circuit is able to correct for minor variations in the
external sync clock signal, giving a very stable adaptation to the
external synchronization signal.
Sync alarm
If a digital output is chosen with the DA source button, and the digital
input for some reason is out of synchronization, the red Sync alarm LED
will blink. This function is available to secure that the whole
recording system is synchronized. The function can be turned off in the
system menu.
