«  Good converter studio and live »

Published on 03/26/14 at 09:03
Value For Money : Correct
8 digital channels with XLR Mic and Line sub-D25 + 1x8 ADAT outputs 44.1 kHz channels and 2x4 channels 88 and 96 Khz - Analog Converter

UTILIZATION

Fairly easy to implement, ideal for extending the number of entries in your console or sound card.
But beware!
-> Use good ADAT cables and synchronize WORDCLOCK to ensure stability with your sync master (sound card or console)

SOUND QUALITY

Used IN LINE: direct outputs connected to the Focusrite in SUB-D25 analog console, the dynamic is perfect, the sound is clear, almost transparent compared to the console preamps, compression turns discreet and efficient, no breath of conversion, no problem saturation preamp position Unity, saturation output almost impossible :) Red-power!

Focusrite quality, nothing to do with the Yamaha conversion!

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 6 years in the studio, these convertos were a perfect partner for our TL Audio M4 tube ;)

I had the opportunity to use many converters have been representative for a large catalog French and Focus conversion I really liked. Value honest although a D / A conversion would have been very significant ... now Apogee not offered either on its Rosetta at that time it was therefore a more economical purchase than Apogee and welcome over quality, even if it is not quite comparable, of course ;)

I would do this choice without hesitation.
