Because the ADA-8XR Audio Interface is a sophisticated and advanced piece of audio equipment, it's the preferred choice for professionals seeking high-quality and reliable audio conversion. This legendary modular AD/DA converter, designed and engineered in Britain, has been the backbone of audio performance in world-renowned recording facilities like Metropolis and British Grove. It has also been instrumental in high-profile projects such as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.
The ADA-8XR Audio Interface offers ultra-detailed A/D and D/A conversion, ensuring accurate and focused sound. This allows every nuance of a performance to be heard without any distracting coloration. Its modular design provides the flexibility of having either an 8 input/8 output, 16 input, or 16 output converter, complete with digital I/O cards for Pro Tools HDX.
As a master clock, the ADA-8XR Audio Interface provides rock-solid stability and jitter rejection, ensuring crystal clear imaging. Its multi-sample rate compatibility allows for different sample rates to be sent and received simultaneously. This modular system offers great flexibility when creating systems with larger numbers of channels, making it the natural choice for both small and large multi-track setups.
The ADA-8XR Audio Interface is the industry's converter of choice for the most exacting applications in music and sound recording, mastering, broadcast, and post-production. It's ideal for producers, engineers, and songwriters seeking the best results when recording, tracking & overdubbing, mixing to stereo or surround, mastering, and monitoring.
The 8C-AD 16-Channel Analogue Line Input Module provides eight electronically-balanced analogue input channels, with variable input line-up level for each channel. Each channel also features a Prism Sound Overkiller progressive limiter capability, preventing the A/D converter from reaching full-scale.
The 8C-PTHDX 8-Channel Pro Tools HDX I/O Module provides eight channels of digital audio input and output, compatible with Avid Pro Tools|HDX workstations. This module enables the ADA-8XR to replace Avid HD I/O interfaces, offering superior audio performance and additional features.
In summary, the ADA-8XR Audio Interface is a versatile, high-quality audio converter that offers unparalleled performance and sound quality, making it a staple in professional recording studios worldwide.
