Technical Specifications
Here is the comprehensive set of 500ADAT’s technical specifications. We try to keep our
specifications as real-world measurements. Each test has been carried out in a particular way
to replicate how each element of 500ADAT would perform in day-to-day operation.
All specifications are typical performance unless otherwise noted. All specifications are subject to
change at any time. Tested with Audio Precision APx555 at 192 kHz internal sample rate and
internal clock. HF response of digital measurements will vary depending on sample rate selected
during recording.
