ADX-32B / ADX-64B-PRO
3. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
3.1. Cat5 connections
Use the Cat5 cable ONLY between ADX devices.
NEVER connect an ADAT Multicore Extender to any Ethernet networking device (PC, Switch, other
network equipment)! The ADX device and/or the networking device may be DAMAGED!
4. INTRODUCTION
4.1. Features
The ADAT Multicore Extender (ADX) allows you to extend and bundle several ADAT connections into standard
Cat5 cable, covering up to 100m (330ft) in distance. One Cat5 cable carries up to four ADAT connections (32
channels), one channel of MIDI data, and a wordclock signal.
This makes the ADX a perfect cost-effective digital snake system. It seamlessly integrates with industry standard
ADAT equipment and provides a lightweight replacement for bulky and heavy analog multicores.
Thanks to its daisy-chain capability, it can also serve as distribution backbone for monitoring or recording.
The ADX system is superior to an analog snake in many ways:
Improved sound quality and reliability

No noise, hum, crackling etc. thanks to digital transmission and galvanic isolation

Very low latency (<1µs)

Redundant power supply (optional)

Precision clock recovery for best jitter performance

Quality product „Made in Switzerland“
Versatile connectivity

Up to 8 ADAT connections for the transmission 64 channels

Direction can be set individually for every ADAT connection

Daisy-chaining possible for easy signal splitting and distribution

Local loop-back duplicates inputs on the outputs, no splitters needed

Bi-directional MIDI transmission (two bi-directional channels in the ADX-64B-PRO)

Wordclock distribution over CAT5

Wordclock signal extraction from ADAT derives a coaxial wordclock signal from any ADAT data stream.
This is especially useful if your master clock has no BNC output
