MUTEC MC-8 & MC8.1 Digital Multichannel Format & 8ch SRC
MC-8 & MC8.1 Digital Multichannel Audio Format & 8ch Sample Rate Converters
The MC-8 converts AES3 to AES3id, while the MC-8.1 converts AES3id to AES3, on 8 channels.
Features:
- Convert AES3 to AES3id (MC-8), or vice versa (MC-8.1), on 8 channels
- Works also as signal splitter or distributor
- Sampling rate conversions between 32.0 kHz and 192.0 kHz
- Extract and re-generates clock signals out of digital audio signals
- Improve audio quality of connected devices
- Accepts all Word Clock and AES11 clock references from 32.0 kHz to 192.0 kHz
- Separate AES11 reference clock input
- Various options for external synchronization
- Protect from reference signal dropouts and losses
- Supply interruption-free audio output signals in SRC mode
- Internal low-jitter reference clock (< 1 ppm), aligned to AES11, Grade 1
- Simple configuration
- User settings stored upon power off
- Compact format
- Built-in international power supply
- Made in Berlin, Germany
