Overview
The DAC-8418-A AES to Quad Analog Audio Converter is a broadcast quality modular product
used to convert two channels of 24-bit, unbalanced AES-3id signals to four channels of analog
audio. The DAC-8418-A supports audio sampling frequencies from 32kHz to 96kHz.
It converts the two incoming AES/EBU digital audio signals to two stereo analog audio signals
using 24bit conversion technology. Cable equalization and reclocking techniques enable the
DAC-8418-Ato recover the incoming digital audio signals reliably. The DAC-8418-A provides 2
analog outputs for each AES/EBU input and 2 reclocked copies of each AES/EBU input.
