TransAudio Group, a premier sales and marketing
representative for high-end audio equipment based in Las Vegas,
Nevada, has announced the availability of the Drawmer A2D2,
an AES Grade 1 dual stereo output analog-to-digital converter.
The stereo A/D converter offers dual
simultaneous stereo outputs, each with separately selectable
sample rates, and additionally provides three word clock outputs,
allowing the A2D2 to also act as a master clock generator.
For maximum flexibility, the stereo A/D converter in the A2D2
provides simultaneous dual stereo outputs that may each be
selected to different sample rates, including 44.1, 48, 88.2,
96, 176 and 192kHz. This permits, for example, the output
of a high-resolution 192kHz version with a
simultaneous lower resolution 44.1kHz version. Each digital
output has a selectable word length of 16 or 24 bits, with
automatic dither generation.
Level control of the dual Burr Brown analog input stages is
via fully variable front panel rotary controls, operating
over the range of -2dBu to +28dBu, or 24-turn precision presets
for a fully calibrated input. Accurate 24-segment peak reading
LED bar meters display incoming signal levels from -50dBfs
to 0dBfs and also include separate overload LED indicators.
The A2D2 incorporates an AES Grade 1 standard low jitter clock
generator and offers three word clock outputs to allow the
unit to act as master clock generator. An external clock input
allows the user to select an alternative
clock source without having to re-route clock cables. The
A2D2 uses a linear power supply to minimize interference with
the internal clocks.
Noted Brad Lunde, president of TransAudio Group, the US distributor
for Drawmer "A good sounding A to D converter that delivers
two different digital outputs at different sample rates is
unique. I don't know of another converter that delivers a
96 or 192 main output and a 44.1 copy at the same time."
