The Cranborne Audio 500ADAT is the perfect tool to increase the number of inputs / outputs of any audio interface equipped with ADAT connection. This 8 in / 8 out ADAT interface combines a 500 format rack with high performance A / DN / A conversion and ADAT I / O to allow any engineer to integrate the 500 format into their studio using ADAT connections from its audio interface. The 500ADAT includes essential analog elements that unite digital and analog production workflows such as an 8-in-2 analog summing mixer, latency-free monitor mixer with 2 benchmark headphone outputs, and true ADAT and SMUXII transmission / IV to allow operation at sample rates up to 192 kHz.
ADAT 8 in / 8 out interface
By containing its own converters and using ADAT to transport audio to and from the 500 series format, the 500ADAT removes the analog cabling between your rack and the interface, while eliminating the worry of incompatible analog levels between 500 series interface inputs and module outputs. The 500ADAT is compatible with any session ranging from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz and can achieve 8 I / O expansion channels at 44.1 kHz and 96 kHz or 4 I / O expansion channels at 176.4 / 192 kHz.
The best of analog
Think of the 500ADAT as a bank of 8 external analog plug-ins. You can configure it according to your taste when it comes to analog flavor. By installing your favorite Rack500 modules in the 8 available slots, you create your ultimate analog kit that can be multitracked directly into your workstation. The possibilities are endless and your interface is unique. The integration of the 500 series modules into the workflow does not stop after registration. Dedicated module source switches for each 500 Series slot allow channels to be sent from your workstation to the 8 installed modules, and back to your workstation for registration (with this " analog "mojo" "applied).
The best of digital
In order to capture every subtle nuance of your analog signals, the 500ADAT features benchmark A / DN / A conversion with a dynamic range of 121 dB (A-weighted) and a THD + N of <0.00032% (@ -4dBFS, 1kHz, A-weighted), governed by an internal reference clock with only less than 0.5 picoseconds of jitter. The combination of a highly accurate, low jitter clock and high performance digital conversion ensures that all of the analog character will be captured in great detail.
Summing mixer
The 500ADAT's analog summation gives your mix the final analog character required for professional and refined sound results. Positioned after the 8 slots, you can insert saturation or subtle "" bus compression "" modules. The 500R8 summing mixer also has a dedicated converter that can be used to send your stereo mix to a line output with a huge dynamic range of + 24dBu.
Latency-free artist mixer
By using the Analog Summing Mixer, you can create latency-free fully analog mixes of live sources, which can be mixed with the USB channels and sent directly to musicians during recording via C.A.S.T. or local headphone outputs.
