OVERVIEW
The 896mk3 is a FireWire audio interface for Mac
and Windows that provides 28 separate inputs and
32 separate outputs (at 44.1 or 48kHz). Both
analog and digital I/O are offered at sample rates
up to 96 kHz, and analog recording and playback is
offered at rates up to 192 kHz. All inputs and
outputs can be accessed simultaneously. The
896mk3 consists of a standard 19-inch, double
space, rack-mountable I/O unit that connects
directly to a computer via a standard IEEE 1394
FireWire™ cable.
The 896mk3 offers the following main features:
■
Eight 24-bit XLR analog outputs
■
Eight 24-bit c analog inputs equipped with
XLR/TRS “combo” jacks
■
Eight mic preamps (one on each input)
■
Independent 48V phantom power and 20 dB
pad for each mic input
■
Independent front-panel trim for each input
■
Two extra XLR analog main outs
■
Operation on all analog I/O at standard sample
rates up to 192 kHz
■
Two banks of optical digital I/O that provide 16
channels of ADAT optical at 48 kHz, 8 channels of
S/MUX optical I/O at 96 kHz or two banks of
stereo TOSLINK at rates up to 96 kHz
■
AES/EBU digital I/O at samples rates up to
96 kHz with sample rate conversion
■
RCA S/PDIF at sample rates up to 96 kHz
■
Word clock input and output
■
On-board SMPTE synchronization via any
analog input and output
■
Two FireWire jacks for chaining multiple units
■
Foot switch input for hands-free punch-in/out
■
Two phone jacks with independent volume
control
■
Programmable master volume knob
■

and effects processing
■
Front-panel LCD programming for the mixer
and all other settings
■
Dedicated 10-segment LED level meters for all
eight analog inputs
■
Dedicated 10-segment level meters for main outs
■
Programmable 10-segment LED level meters
that display levels for any 8-channel input or output
bank, as well as AES/EBU or S/PDIF digital I/O
■
Auto-switching international power supply
■
Stand-alone operation
■
Mac and Windows drivers for multi-channel
operation and across-the-board compatibility with
any audio software on both platforms
