7. FUTURE POSSIBLE OPTIONS
(Under Development Feasability)
We are investigating the possible development of a range of accessories, and options for the
IN5.
7.1 USBMOD S/PDIF DIGITAL OPTION MODULE
Information about the USBMOD S/PDIF Option board
The USBMOD is a 24-bit 96kHz digital option board for the SM IN5. It enables the IN5 to act as a
high quality analog to digital and digital to analog converter unit. This is an extremely valuable
tool for many applications in today’s studio.
This option board will offer excellent full duplex AD/DA conversion. In the world of digital record-
ings, it is extremely useful to have a level of connectivity that allows for high quality digital trans-
fer of audio signals between devices.
With the USBMOD option board, users can obtain full functionality of the IN5 with the added
bonus of full digital connectivity. A great example of the benefits of the USBMOD is when con-
necting directly to your computer sound cards digital I/O. This is far more desirable than using the
AD/DA converters within your computers case. You can eliminate many of problems of electrical
noise by removing the analog to digital conversion process from the intense environment of your
PC case.
Of course there are many other benefits of having a stand alone digital converter at hand. Need
to sample your voice directly to your sampler? Simply connect the digital out to your samplers
