RME ADI-4 DD PRODUCT FEATURES:
The device basically consists of two converters: four AES-3 inputs to double ADAT outputs, and double ADAT inputs to four AES-3 outputs. The double ADAT ports enable full 8 channel support, from 32 kHz up to 96 kHz (S/MUX). The unit provides one XLR I/O directly. A DB-25 connector allows for a use of industry standard AES-3 I/O breakout cables. Setting an internal connector easily changes the DB-25 connector to meet the pinout of Tascam (Digidesign), Yamaha and Euphonix cables.

Application examples:
AES/EBU frontend for RME's digital I/O cards (ADAT optical I/O)
Serves as 8-Channel AES and ADAT I/O for all digital mixing desks with ADAT or AES ports
Allows to operate up to 4 SPDIF or AES devices
Converts between AES-3, SPDIF and SPDIF optical
Removes jitter from AES-3 and ADAT signals

Conversion modes (selection):
8-Channel AES to ADAT optical converter (96 kHz)
2-Channel AES to 8-Channel ADAT splitter (96 kHz)
8-Channel ADAT to AES converter (96 kHz)
2-Channel AES to 8-Channel AES splitter (96 kHz)
4-Channel AES Double Wire to AES Single Wire converter (96 kHz)
4-Channel AES Single Wire to AES Double Wire converter (96 kHz)

All in all the ADI-4 DD shows an unsurpassed flexibility together with a sensational price point. It is a perfect interface solution in all areas, from home user up to broadcast applications.
