The Swissonic AD96 is a professional 4 channel A/D converter. It supports 16, 18, 20 and 24-bit digital output with dithering and psycho-acoustic noise shaping for the lower resolutions. The 4 high CMR analog inputs are fully balanced and have class-A biased multipath input buffers. The digital output signal is provided by two AES/EBU outputs as well as an ADAT optical (ADAT lightpipe) output supporting sample and bit multiplexing for recording super audio on conventional ADAT machines. Sampling Ratesof 44,1 / 48 / 88 / 96 kHz are provided. The Units can be master or slaved to Wordclock or Superclock.
