Lavry Engineering AD 122 96K MKIII

AD 122 96K MKIII

The AD-122-96 MKIII is a mastering quality analog to digital converter that can receive balanced or unbalanced analog input signals. With the feature of adjustment pots on the front panel the individual left and right analog gain can be adjusted to what you want. Fine tuning of reference levels can be achieved by setting the front panel bar graph display (LED's) to “Fine” mode (reference meter bridge). The digital output is available at the AES/EBU output. The AES/EBU XLR output is compatible with coaxial SPDIF using a simple adapter or adapter cable.

The converter can operate with internal or external clock synchronisation. Available internal crystal frequencies are 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, or 96 kHz. For external synchronisation, a signal is applied to either the SYNC/WC XLR input or the Word Clock BNC input. The external synchronisation parameters are programmed into the converter according to desired frequency lock range and input type. The input types are digital audio (AES/EBU) or word clock signals. The desired frequency lock range settings are 44.1 kHz narrow lock range, 48 kHz narrow lock range, 40-50 kHz wide lock range, 88.2 kHz 2X sync rate).
