Prism Sound ADA-8XR Overview

The Prism Sound ADA-8XR Audio Interface with 16-Channel A/D & FireWire is a 24-bit / 192 kHz modular audio interface offering flexible inputs and outputs, versatile clocking, and configurable routing for demanding music and film production scenarios. It includes two I/O modules, a FireWire interface card, a utility module for 16 balanced analog line-level inputs via XLR 3-pin jacks, eight channels of digital I/O via two FireWire 400 ports, a 1/4" stereo headphone output, and more. With selectable input limiters, adjustable levels, and low distortion and noise, it delivers high-quality audio performance that is easily customized using the onboard display and comprehensive controls.

Prism Sound ADA-8XR Frame Audio Interface Chassis (No I/O Modules)

The Prism Sound ADA-8XR Frame is a rack-mountable 2 RU audio interface chassis designed to deliver versatile clocking and configurability for producers, musicians, and audio engineers in home, project, and commercial studios. Its modular design yields flexible I/O arrangements thanks to four I/O module slotstwo analog and two digital. A variety of modules (available separately) can be installed for access to multichannel analog/digital inputs and outputs as well as Pro Tools or FireWire workstation connectivity.

The ADA-8XR Frame supports resolutions up to 24-bit/192 kHz, and can clock internally or to external AES3, AES11, word clock, or Pro Tools Loop Sync. The built-in Utility Module provides stereo analog RCA and digital BNC audio outputs, BNC word clock and XLR AES11 sync I/O, and a DB9 serial communications port. Additionally, the front panel has a 1/4" stereo headphone output along with assignable 8-channel bargraph meters. An onboard display and comprehensive controls enable efficient adjustment of parameters, which can be quickly stored and recalled via factory and user presets. The ADA-8XR Frame comes with no I/O modules, ready for custom configurations.

Modular architecture accommodates special configurations and provides future-proofing with individually upgradeable A/D conversion, D/A conversion, DSP, digital interfacing, and utility hardware

Prism Sound 8C-AD 8-Channel A/D Module for ADA-8XR Interface

The Prism Sound 8C-AD is an 8-channel A/D module offering uncompromising analog-to-digital conversion for producers, musicians, and audio engineers using a Prism Sound Dream ADA-8XR audio interface in a variety of studio environments. Exhibiting low noise, minimal distortion, and high dynamic range, it features eight balanced XLR 3-pin female inputs, which accept line-level signals and feed them to 24-bit/192 kHz A/D converters.

Input level and trim are adjustable per channel for precise calibration and gain optimization. Prism Sound s Overkiller limiters are individually selectable for each of the eight inputs, allowing protection against clipping on a channel-by-channel basis. The 8C-AD easily installs into an analog I/O slot of a Dream ADA-8XR (available separately).

Adds eight analog line-level inputs to your Prism Sound Dream ADA-8XR audio interface

Supports resolutions up to 24-bit/192 kHz

Selectable per-channel Overkiller limiters utilize automatic threshold configuration according to the specified input level, and catch fast transients to minimize A/D clipping

Input level (0.5 dBu increments) and trim (0.05 dBu increments) are adjustable via the host ADA-8XR s menu system

Eight balanced XLR 3-pin female input jacks

Prism Sound 8C-FW 8-Channel FireWire I/O Module for ADA-8XR Interface

The Prism Sound 8C-FW is an 8-channel FireWire 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. With selectable configurations, it supports up to eight channels of I/O at up to 96 kHz or up to four channels of I/O at 176.4 kHz or 192 kHz. Two 6-pin FireWire 400 (1394a) ports enable proper connectivity with computers equipped with 4- or 6-pin FireWire 400. The 8C-FW easily installs into the upper or lower digital I/O slot of a Dream ADA-8XR (available separately) and is compatible with Mac OS X and Windows systems.

Eight channels of digital audio I/O at sample rates up to 96 kHz

Four channels of digital audio I/O at 176.4 kHz or 192 kHz

Functions as a Core Audio device under Mac OS X (multiple FireWire modules are not supported by Mac OS X)

Functions as a WDM and ASIO compliant device under Windows XP and later (multiple FireWire modules are supported by Windows)

Compatible with 4- or 6-pin FireWire 400 (1394a) ports

Supports multiple I/O configurations8-in / 8-out, 2-in / 8-out, 8-in / 2-out, or 4-in / 4-out

Easily installs in either digital I/O slot (DIO1 or DIO2) of an ADA-8XR (available separately)
