Digital Interfaces
ADAT
ADAT is probably the most common digital audio connection
used in multichannel interfaces. Since an ADAT cable can
transmit 8 channels only, the A16 AE has two pairs of this
interface. The number of available channels is only half or only
a quarter in case of higher frequencies:
Frequency
ADAT Channels
32kHz, 44,1kHz, 48kHz
2 x 8 channels
88,2kHz, 96kHz
2 x 4 channels
192kHz*
2 x 2 channels
* only supported with installed MADI option.
If you use ADAT for higher frequencies, the first 8 (or 4)
outputs will be used only. The remaining outputs will repeat
the signal of the first 8 (or 4) outputs. Only the first 8 (or 4)
channels will be used as analog inputs respectively.
Set the desired mode using the
SAMPLE RATE
button.
MADI (option)
MADI is a very popular audio interface offering 64 channels at
a maximum cable length of 2 kilometers!
Furthermore, when using more than one A16 AE, it is also
possible to
daisy chain
the MADI cable. In this case the
