Prism Sound 8C-AES

The Prism Sound 8C-AES is an 8-channel AES I/O module offering flexible digital input and output configurations for producers, musicians, and audio engineers using a Prism Sound Dream ADA-8XR audio interface in a variety of studio environments. It supports resolutions up to 24-bit / 192 kHz, AES3 and S/PDIF channel status, and one- and two-wire modes. One transformer-coupled DB25 connector accommodates eight channels in and out and can be wired to XLR-equipped gear via the supplied 4.9′ DB25 to XLR breakout cable.

The input and output sections are independent, which allows them to operate at different sample rates, sync to different clock sources, and utilize different impedances. The 8C-AES easily installs into the upper or lower digital I/O slot of a Dream ADA-8XR (available separately).

Eight channels of digital audio I/O on four AES3 carriers in each direction

Input and output sections are independent and may be assigned to different paths with different sample rates, sync sources, and more

Accommodates sample rates up to 192 kHz in Split96 (two-wire) or high-speed (one-wire) mode, and can output consumer (S/PDIF) or professional (AES3) channel status

Inputs and outputs can be jumpered to comply with AES3 or S/PDIF carrier voltage levels and impedances

Supplied breakout cable features a DB25 male connector on one end and eight XLR connectors (four female and four male) on the other

Easily installs in an ADA-8XR upper slot (DIO1) if no workstation I/O card is fitted, or in the lower slot (DIO2) if a workstation card is fitted
