INTRODUCTION

The D62-T or D62-A digital convertor module may be retrofitted to an analogue 1962
unit. This provides 16, 18, 20 or 24-bit wordlength outputs in both AES/EBU and S/PDIF
formats with user selectable dither. The D62-T also includes a Tascam™ T-DIF
interface while the D62-A has an integral ADAT™ optical interface. Word sync In and
Out is provided as standard and the user may select between 48kHz, 44.1kHz and
