MC-6 Digital Multichannel Format & 4ch Sampling Rate Converter

 

A high-performance digital audio format and 4 channel sampling rate converter for AES3, AES3id and S/P-DIF.

 

 

Features:

  • AES/EBU, AES/EBUid and S/P-DIF interfaces all in one box
  • Format and sampling rate conversions up to 192.0 kHz
  • Signal improvement through audiophile-optimized PLL synthesizers
  • Extremely flexible synchronization options
  • Separate AES11 reference clock input for e.g. broadcast use
  • Converts standalone and bidirectionally with different sampling rates: X-SRC
  • 4 channel sampling rate conversion engine (SRC) for bi-directional conversions
  • Continuous clock signal supply in absence of the reference audio or clock signal
  • Runs standalone in all SRC operation modes without needing an external master clock reference
  • AES11, Grade 1, internal reference clock (0.5 ppm)
  • Word Clock output usable as master clock reference
  • Straightforward configuration
  • User setting stored upon power off
  • Compact format
  • Built-in international power supply
  • Made in Berlin, Germany
