Digital Interfaces

ADAT

ADAT is probably the most common digital audio connection

used in multichannel interfaces. Since an ADAT cable can

transmit 8 channels only, the A16 AE has two pairs of this

interface. The number of available channels is only half or only

a quarter in case of higher frequencies:

Frequency

ADAT Channels

32kHz, 44,1kHz, 48kHz

2 x 8 channels

88,2kHz, 96kHz

2 x 4 channels

192kHz*

2 x 2 channels

* only supported with installed MADI option.

If you use ADAT for higher frequencies, the first 8 (or 4)

outputs will be used only. The remaining outputs will repeat

the signal of the first 8 (or 4) outputs. Only the first 8 (or 4)

channels will be used as analog inputs respectively.

Set the desired mode using the SAMPLE RATE button.

MADI (option)

MADI is a very popular audio interface offering 64 channels at

a maximum cable length of 2 kilometers!

Furthermore, when using more than one A16 AE, it is also

possible to daisy chain the MADI cable. In this case the

Page 3: Introduction
Introduction introduction thank you very much for choosing to purchase this product. The a16 ae can convert simultaneously, 16 audio channels from digital to analogue (da) and 16 audio channels from analogue to digital (ad). You can use adat as digital interface, or madi (optional). The two tft scre...
Page 4: Operation
Operation operation the a16 ae can be controlled via three front panel buttons sample rate, synchronization and menu. Alternatively, you can use your pc to remote control the a16 ae using the midi interface. In the main screen the frequency and synchronization can be set using the corresponding butt...
Page 5: Digital Interfaces
Digital interfaces digital interfaces every digital device requires a sampling rate for proper operation. The a16 ae can either generate such sampling rate itself (master) or receive it from another device (slave). It is important that all devices within a digital domain work with the same sampling ...

Digital interfaces device's output will be connected to the next device's input. Hence you can connect, for example, four a16 ae in a row in order to use the maximum number of 64 madi channels. For more information concerning the madi upgrade please visit our website: www.Ferrofish.De/upgrade wordcl...
Page 8: Analog Interface
Analog interface analog interface all analog in-/outputs are balanced and can be adjusted to levels from -10dbu (“consumer”) to +4dbu (“professional”). If you adjust the output, for example to +4dbu, you should set the corresponding input to -4dbu in order to balance the amplification one by one. In...
Page 9: Level And Gain Screen
Analog interface level and gain screen all analog levels and gains can be adjusted independent of each other in steps of 0.5db. Please press menu and then select level or gain. Now you see a fader for each of the 16 channels (depending on the selection either the input channels or the output channel...
