mAEStro® Audio Analog to Digital Converter

Please call for pricing

The mAEStro AADC-100 accepts balanced stereo analog audio inputs and converts them into a single digital bit stream in compliance with the AES/EBU (AES3) and S/PDIF digital audio standards. It generates 24-bit values and uses 128 times over-sampling for extremely accurate and linear analog to digital conversion, as well as offering a high dynamic range with exceptionally low total harmonic distortion and noise. The rugged self-contained metal enclosure has a number of mounting options from desktop, to rear side-rail rack mounting, to ganged front-side or rear-side rack mounting. This permits the unit to be mounted as close as possible to the audio source equipment while consuming minimal rack space.

  • Highest Precision (24-bit) analog-to-digital conversion in AES3 standard.
  • Exceptional dynamic range with extremely low distortion and crosstalk.
  • 28X oversampling at the ADC for best linearity and performance.
  • Reference input with automatic frame rate detection for locking to any AES3 source.
  • Front panel LED's for reference lock, and left and right channel overflow.
