Overview
Midas mic preamplifiers feed the converter sections of this rack unit, which talks to a recording system over ADAT lightpipe. The listing describes it as an A/D and D/A interface for a digital recording or mixing environment.
The reason to look at it is channel count: a full bank of mic preamps with conversion in one box lets a home studio record many sources at once. The limits are a modest sample rate and a listing that names no other computer connection.
Who it's for
A home or project studio that already has an ADAT input on its interface can expand to a drum kit or band recording. Someone starting from scratch with only a laptop needs an interface that names its computer connection.
Pros and cons
- Eight channels in one unit
- Midas mic preamplifiers with XLR inputs
- Converts both ways, A/D and D/A
- ADAT lightpipe link to a recording system
- Modest maximum sample rate
- Warranty terms point to an outside page
- Connection details beyond ADAT not listed
Performance notes
Each channel runs a mic preamp into an analog-to-digital converter, then the signal travels as a digital stream over the ADAT lightpipe to the host. The host or interface must read ADAT, so the unit works only as part of a system that does. Preamp gain staging and the maximum sample rate in the listing set the quality ceiling.
