The D|9 MultiDAC Basics

The Dl9 llultiDAC is an 8 channel digital to analog converter with Hixllonitor
function. It is packed into one I9" rack unit and contains 8 independent
23 bit D/A high performance converters. Rather than just having simple D/A
converter functions. a monitoring facility named Hixlfonitor has been included.

The l-luliiDAC enhances the DI? Series. building a complement to the already
established D|9 MicAD preamplifier. but also can be used on its own and as
a system component.

The MixMonitot Feature - a nice Touch

The MixMonitor function allows front panel listening to any of the outputs in
mono or stereo for easy and quick control of any of the channels. In
addition, any combination of the output channels can be mixed to the
monitor output in mono or stereo for listening to
up to ll channels! The llixMonitor controls are situated
on the right hand side of the front panel and
comprise a headphone jack, a 5-pin balanced line
level XLR output and a volume control. So. the
MultiDAC is not only a high quality D/A converter.
but is also a 8 channel mixer. '"W
In other words. the mixing is independent of the
main channel outputs and can also be used in
applications where fixed and calibrated analog outputs are required without
the danger of inadvertently changing the main output levels.

Audio Connections 8: Options

The MuluDAC is delivered with 4 AES/EBU inputs as standard. Optionally. a
selection of input modules can be added for either of the following formats:
° ADAT'" 8 channel optical digital input module

° TDIF-lm 8 channel digital input module

This enables direct connection of the popular 8 channel modular digital
multitrack recorders. Any channel pair can be selected to take its signal
either from the AES/EBU inputs or from the corresponding channel of the
multichannel card. The selection is indicated on the front panel.

The B analog outputs are transformer balanced and have XLR connectors.
The output level can be set to a predefined value in the calibrated mode, or

In the calibrated mode the line outputs are in calibrated position and the
channel potentiometers only influence the monitor mix.

Digital Synchronization

The eight individual D/A converters can operate from a wide range of
sampling frequencies. There is no need for an external sync signal because
each D/A converter is equipped with a sampling frequency converter and
will synchronize to the incoming signals. Each input can work with a
different sampling rate if needed. Alternatively the MultiDAC can be internally
set to use one of the inputs (any AES or MCH) as a reference for all D/A
converters.

Application Field

The Dl9 lfultiDAC can be used for a variety of applications such as:

° Professional Studio- used as a universal building block, e.g. with other
products from the DIS? Series

- Systems & Projects - System component for STUDERs 0940/D94I digital
mixers, MADI Router and other products

- Stereo Mastering 7 used as the ultimate D/A converter for analog masters

- Direct~to-Disc Recordingiused as the perfect back end with direct
digital inputs

' Project Studios. Musicians 7 perfect back end for ADATWDABB'" or other
modular recorders
