AD824 & DA824 Converters
AD824
The Yamaha AD824 is a
high-performance
8-channel analog-to-digi-
tal converter that has
been designed primarily
for use with the DME32
Digital Mixing Engine. The AD824 features 24-bit linear analog-to-digital converters
and 128-times oversampling, offering a typical dynamic range of 110 dB. Optional
mini YGDAI cards offer a variety of digital output interfaces, with support for all the
popular digital audio interconnect formats, including AES/EBU, ADAT, and Tascam
TDIF-1. Analog inputs feature electronically balanced XLRs.
In addition, AD824 input channels feature electronically balanced analog insert points
on two 1/4" TRS phone jacks, high-quality mic preamps, independently switchable
48-volt phantom powering, and rotary gain adjustment.
By connecting the DME32 COM port, shown here, to the
AD824 COM PC/RS422 port with a 9-pin serial cable, remote
and recallable control of the AD824 is possible from DME Man-
ager.
The COM PC/RS422 switch on the AD824 should be set to
RS422 when connecting a DME32 or another AD824.
DME Manager features Gain Trimmer components especially for use with the AD824.
