About Prism Sound 8C-AES

Are you in search of a durable and high-quality digital audio input and output solution for your ADA-8XR audio interface Look no further than the 8C-AES 8-Channel AES3 Digital I/O Module with AES Breakout Loom. This innovative and advanced module offers eight channels of digital audio input and output, operating on four AES3 carriers in each direction, making it an ideal choice for larger audio setups and projects that require multiple input sources.

The 8C-AES module is designed with complete independence between the input and output sections. This means they can be assigned to different paths with varying sample rates, sync sources, and other options, offering you unparalleled flexibility and control over your audio setup. Essentially, the AES3 I/O module functions as two modules in one - an input module and an output module.

This reliable module is capable of accommodating extended sample rates of up to 192kHz in Split96 (two-wire) or high-speed (one-wire) modes. It can output both consumer and professional Channel Status, ensuring it meets the needs of a wide range of professional audio and video applications, from recording studios to live sound events and post-production facilities.

The 8C-AES module also offers the flexibility of jumpered inputs and outputs, allowing it to comply with either AES3 or S/PDIF carrier voltage levels and impedances. This ensures seamless integration and compatibility with your ADA-8XR audio interface and other audio devices, such as microphones, preamplifiers, and mixers.

In conclusion, the 8C-AES 8-Channel AES3 Digital I/O Module with AES Breakout Loom is a robust, versatile, and high-performance solution for your professional audio needs.
