MOTU HD192 high-definition 192-kHz audio interface

Beschrijving

Incl. PCI-424 interface & audiodesk software.

The MOTU HD192 high- definition 192-kHz audio interface is designed
for those who demand the very best audio quality available. Equipped
with the latest generation 24-bit, enhanced multi-bit 128x oversampling
192-kHz converters, the HD192 achieves a remarkable A-weighted
signal-to-noise ratio of 120 dB with balanced XLR connectors
throughout. Ideal for surround applications, the HD192’s 12 inputs and
12 outputs can support two simultaneous 5.1 mixes. And the HD192 is
full of advanced features, like AES/EBU I/O with sample rate conversion
both in and out.

The most important link in the digital recording chain is the A/D
converter. It is the critical component that converts your analog input
signal into digital information. The higher the quality of the A/D
converter, the better your recordings will sound.
The 192-kHz converters in the HD192 are the very same used in
more expensive HD systems. With 120dB A-weighted dynamic range and a
THD+N of 0.0005%, the HD192 is simply the best sounding front end you
can buy for your digital audio workstation.

Metering

The HD192’s front panel provides dedicated 19-segment level meters
for all 12 inputs and outputs. Two over meters are included, a
temporary over meter and an over/hold meter that is resettable via
software. Comprehensive clock status LEDs are also included so you can
see at a glance the current sampling rate and clock source.

Front Panel Power Switch

Useful in the unlikely event you wish to turn off your HD192. An
interesting fact about MOTU Audio interfaces is that they are hot
swappable. This means you can power off, plug-in, add and remove
interfaces without turning your computer off or restarting.

24-bit, 192-kHz analog XLR Input and Output

All 12 analog inputs and outputs of the HD192 are professional-grade XLR connectors operating at +4 dB.

AES/EBU

The HD192 features stereo AES/EBU digital I/O with built in sample
rate conversion. This gives you the ability to integrate external
digital audio sources, no matter what the sample rate, while recording
audio at higher sample rates on the analog I/O of the HD192. For
example, you can still take advantage of the 96-kHz digital I/O on your
favorite outboard reverb, while recording audio at 192-kHz.

Word Clock I/O

The HD192 audio interface provides industry standard word clock
input and output. The word clock input allows the HD192 to synchronize
smoothly with today’s digital audio studio. The word clock output can
be used as a master clock to drive other digital devices in your
studio, such as a digital mixer. The AES digital I/O can be driven
separately via a dedicated word clock input. You can even slave to a
48kHz clock source, even when the HD192 is operating at 192-kHz.

Audio Wire

The HD192 uses the second generation Audio Wire we introduced with
the 2408mk3. It is a high-bandwidth digital audio format capable of
carrying up to 24 channels of 96-kHz or 12 channels of 192-kHz digital
audio in and out of the computer at the same time.

Power Supply

Like all MOTU hardware products, the HD192 comes with an internal
power supply and standard detachable IEC power cable. No wall warts or
line lumps.

The HD192 uses the same PCI-424 card as the 2408mk3. You can
connect up to four audio interfaces to a PCI-424 in any combination to
create a system that fits your needs.

The PCI-424 card included with HD192 core systems is fully
compatible with legacy MOTU interfaces originally designed for the
PCI-324 card. Connect any MOTU PCI interface, including the 2408mk3,
2408mkII, 2408, 1296, 1224, 1296, and 308. Mix and match new and legacy
interfaces as you please. All connected interfaces can take full
advantage of the PCI-424’s CueMix DSP features.

The PCI-424 card features CuemixDSP?, a powerful processor
dedicated to creating a custom tailored monitor mix of up to 96
channels of audio.div>
