 KEY FEATURES

 

The DUA II features a comprehensive list of features for the broadcast market, CD-R mastering, and audio post-production applications.

  • 4 analog line inputs (24 bit A/D)
  • 4 digital channels on 2 AES-EBU inputs (24 bit)
  • 4 analog line outputs (24 bit D/A)
  • 4 digital channels on 2 AES-EBU outputs (24 bit)
  • 2 monitoring analog line outputs, with headphone output and volume control, for stereo monitoring of any of the input or output channel pairs (24 bit D/A).

 

 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

 
  • Ideal I/O solution for mixed Analog/Digital requirements, as encountered in Broadcast production and Video/Film post-production environments.
  • Full 5.1 Surround monitoring system support.
  • Up to two units can be used in parallel for a 16 I/O solution, with Merging’s high performance audio boards such as Mykerinos.
  • Tested in such applications as SOFTIMAGE®|DS, Incite Studio, WaveFrame FrameWorks, etc...

 

 FEATURES

 
  • The signals from the 8 inputs are also fed to the optical lightpipes in ADAT-compatible format. This allows a direct connection to ADAT compatible multitrack devices and other equipment such as digital consoles. These optical lightpipe connectors support up to 8 channels of 24 bit digital audio on one single optical fiber with no risk at all of line hum or any other electromagnetic interference.
  • All audio connections are made using high-quality balanced XLR type connectors.
  • High quality 24 bit A/D and D/A using the latest generation in converter technology.
  • High common mode rejection balanced input circuitry on all analog input for optimum rejection of power line hum, RF interference, voltage drops and other externally-generated noise commonly encountered with long audio cable runs.
  • All analog balanced output circuitry incorporates the advanced "Twin Servo Drive" output stage for maximum output signal balance ratio performance, even under adverse asymmetrical loads.
  • Input and ouput level selection through DIP switches offers an over 18 dB range to accomodate all standard studio levels.
  • Very low jitter clock with high incoming reference jitter rejection.
  • Clear and easy to use front panel controls.
  • Very comprehensive choice of Synchronization Sources including ODI, AES/EBU and Wordclock.
  • Selectable stereo monitoring of all 8 inputs and outputs.
  • Local control from the front panel (in stand-alone mode).
  • Remote control from Pyramix Virtual Studio Software.
  • Rugged internal power supply. This unit accepts both 110 and 220 voltages for worldwide use.
  • Fully tested for CE compliance for guaranteed safety and stability.
  • Fits into standard 1U high 19" rack.
