PECIFICATION
Mechanism type
TEAC Esoteric VRDS NEO
®
VMK3 dual laser CD/SACD mechanism.
Digital outputs
Dual AES interface on 2x 3-pin male XLR connectors (
AES1+2
).
While an SACD is playing, the interface outputs encrypted DSD data.
While a CD is playing, the
Settings > Upsample Mode
menu page sets the
interface to output either encrypted
DSD
data (1 bit at 2.822MS/s) or
DXD
data (24 bits at 352.8kS/s).
AES/EBU on 3-pin male XLR connector (
AES3
). Outputs 16/44.1 data,
whether a CD or SACD is playing.
2x SPDIF on 1x RCA Phono and 1x BNC connectors. Each outputs 16/44.1
data, whether a CD or SACD is playing.
1x SDIF-2 interface on 2x BNC connectors, outputs 16/44.1 data, whether a
CD or SACD is playing.
Clocking
Word Clock Out
put on 1x BNC connector. With the transport in Master
mode, a TTL-compatible 44.1kHz word clock derived from the internal crystal
oscillator is available on this output. The calibration accuracy when shipped is
+/-10ppm, not temperature compensated. Calibration usually remains stable
for several years.
Word Clock In
put on 1x BNC connector, accepts standard word clock at
44.1, 88.2 or 176.4kHz. Sensitive to TTL levels. Lock range is +/-300ppm.
Size and weight
444mm (17.5”) long x 435mm (17.2”) deep x 196mm (7.8”) high. Allow extra
depth for cable connectors. Allow space for air flow around the unit.
23.2kg (51.1lbs).
Power requirements
Internally set to either 100, 115/120, 220 or 230/240V AC, 49 – 62Hz.
Power consumption: 28W typical, 40W maximum.
Consumes less than 0.5W when powered down from the front panel.
These specifications are subject to change without notice.
