Lectrosonics SRDB25AES Superslot/Unislot Digital Output Adapter for SR Series Slot Receivers

Lectrosonics SRDB25AES Overview

The Lectrosonics SRDB25AES Superslot/Unislot Digital Output Adapter mounts onto any Digital Hybrid Wireless SR Series 2-channel slot receiver and converts the analog audio outputs from the receiver to AES3 digital at 48 kHz. This adapter is especially useful when pairing an older unit like an SRc in a slot dock with a new receiver like a DSR4, thus allowing all channels from both receivers to enter through the slot in digital format.

The SRDB25AES is taller than most other SR-Series bottom plates. It adds a little over a 1/4" to the receiver case length. When installed on a unit, the resulting height is identical to a DSR4 mounted with a DSR4DB25 bottom plate. In other words, when a DSR4 is slotted next to an SRC with one of these adapters on it, both receivers will be the same height while in the dock. The adapter is retained by two screws through the side panel of the housing, making it easy to install.

Using the SRDB25AES with SR Series Receivers

• SRb and older SR receivers can be used with this adapter for audio and power, while no data connection is present so all receiver settings need to be made via the receiver front panels.
• The SRc has a data connection and all previous functions are retained in terms of receiver control through the slot interface. SRb receivers with the FM01 update (an updated audio board) also have this data connection.

Using the SRDB25AES with a Sound Devices Mixer/Recorder

• Add an SR Series receiver to your SL-2 setup: the SRDB25AES enables you to deliver AES digital audio into a Sound Devices SL-2 dock that is integrated with a mixer/recorder.
• The unit will convert at 48 kHz and allow for re-sampling in the mixer/recorder if needed.
• Note: Sound Devices 8-Series firmware must be v9.50 or higher for this adapter to work properly in an SL-2. The Sound Devices SL-6 will not recognize this adapter.

DB25 Connector

• The DB25 connector, with SuperSlot-compliant pin configuration converts from analog to AES3 at 48 kHz from receivers with only analog outputs (SRb, SRc).
• The control lines for UART connections on pins 22 and 23 for modified SRb and all SRc receivers allows for data connection for docks and cameras with this feature.

Other Compatible Devices

The SRDB25AES adapter is compatible with:

• Octopack, Quadpack, Duopack
• Cameras with Unislot connection
• SuperSlot
