Be at the forefront of audio recording and processing with the ADA-8XR Audio Interface, a sophisticated and advanced piece of equipment from the reputable Prism Sound. This high-quality, professional audio interface is the epitome of British engineering and design, boasting over two decades of industry presence.
The ADA-8XR Audio Interface is a modular AD/DA converter, renowned for its ultra-detailed A/D and D/A conversion. This innovative feature ensures absolute sound focus, eliminating any distractions caused by coloration and allowing every subtle detail of a performance to be captured.
This audio interface is not just about superior sound quality, it's also about flexibility. Its modular design allows for an 8 input/8 output, 16 input, or 16 output converter, with digital I/O cards for AES. This makes it an ideal choice for systems requiring a larger number of channels, whether for a few high-quality conversions or a large multi-track setup.
The ADA-8XR Audio Interface also excels in clocking and synchronization. It can flawlessly serve as a master clock for your entire system, providing rock-solid stability and jitter rejection for crystal clear imaging. No external clock source can enhance the performance of the ADA-8XR.
The 8C-AD 8-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, preventing the A/D converter from reaching full-scale.
The 8C-DA 8-Channel Analogue Line Output Module offers eight electronically-balanced analogue output channels, with variable output line-up level for each channel.
The 8C-AES 8-Channel AES3 Digital I/O Module provides eight channels of digital audio input and output, accommodating extended sample rates in Split96 or high-speed modes.
Ideal for producers, engineers, and songwriters, the ADA-8XR Audio Interface is perfect for recording vocals, single instruments, drums, or orchestras. It's equally adept at providing multiple outputs for external analogue summing. This audio interface is a staple in top studios worldwide and has been used in numerous film soundtracks.
In conclusion, the ADA-8XR Audio Interface is a testament to Prism Sound's no-compromise approach to audio. It's a modular, multi-channel, 24-bit 192kHz-capable format that delivers your recordings with perfect transparency. It's compatible with both Mac and PC, and its multiple input and output channels, including BNC word clock, RCA, and XLR, make it a versatile choice for any professional setting.
