Designed for the rigors and complexities of today's hi-definition digital recording systems, the Lucid 88192 A/D and D/A Converter guarantees excellence in audio conversion and management for recording, post-production, and broadcast environments.

This multi-format audio converter provides 8 channels of AES/EBU and 8 channels of SMUX2 ADAT digital audio, to and from the host, at sample rates up to 192 kHz and faithfully converts analog signals to digital information, and vice versa, with the highest fidelity and accuracy. Adjustable gain and clip limiting on the analog input stage optimizes levels under a variety of circumstances. The staightforward user interface is designed for quick, efficient operation of all functions.

Extremely low distortion and jitter, coupled with wide frequency response, translates into clean, quiet, accurate, and stunning recordings.
