Genelec AD9200A

Analog to Digital Converter

Description

The Genelec AD9200A is an eight-channel

analog to digital converter. It is designed

to complement Genelec’s DSP subwoof-

ers enabling their use with analog line level

signal sources.

The eight-channel balanced analog input

uses a 25-pin DB25 connector wired to the

Tascam/ProTools industry standard pinout.

The digital output consists of four male XLR

connectors. Each XLR output carries two

AES/EBU digital audio channels with 24 bit

word length and 192 kHz sample rate. The

AD9200A provides the same consistent high

quality found in Genelec DSP Series loud-

speakers and subwoofers.

Connecting the AD9200A

The rack mount ears on the AD9200A can

be attached to the front or the back of the

unit. This allows the AD9200A to be rack-

installed with the front plate or the connector

panel visible in the rack. The rack ears can be

removed for table-top operation. A Pozidrive

1 screwdriver is needed for this.

No signal cables or connectors are sup-

plied with AD9200A. A 5-meter 8 x XLR-to-

DB25 cable loom is available as an option

(order code 1550-105).

When choosing an analog input signal

cable, note that the DB25 input connector is

wired to the Tascam/ProTools industry stan-

dard pinout (see Picture 1). All Tascam/Pro-

Tools industry standard cables can be used.

The threads on the connector attachment

screw posts are metric (M2.5) according to

the Tascam standard. When making your

own cable make sure you use screws with

the correct thread.

Connect the provided FW74010/12 12 V

power supply cable to the AD9200A and the

power supply mains cable to a mains connec-

tor

.

Using the AD9200A

Allow the AD9200A to warm up for approxi-

mately two minutes after switching-on. Noise

level on the digital outputs can be higher

immedia tely aft er switch-on. Noise will

decrease and disappear during the warm-

ing-up period due to internal AD converter

circuit calibration.

The AD9200A is equipped with two indica-

tor LED lights on the front and back panels.

These show the same information. A green

light indicates a normal powered-on condi-

tion. Short flashes of red indicate analogue

input clipping. Reduce the input signal level

until the indicator LED light stays green.

Maintenance

No user serviceable parts are within the unit.

Any maintenance or repair of the AD9200A

should only be undertaken by qualified ser-

vice personnel.

Safety considerations

Although the AD9200A has been designed

in accordance with international safety stan-

dards, the following warnings and cautions

should be observed to ensure safe opera-

tion and to maintain the AD9200A under safe

operating conditions:

• Servicing and adjustment must only be

performed by qualified service personnel.

The unit must not be opened by the user.

• The AD9200A may only be used with the

FW74010/12 power supply it is delivered

with. No other types of power supply are

accepted.

• Do not expose the AD9200A or its power

supply to water or moisture. Do not place

any objects filled with liquid, such as

vases on or near them.

• Keep naked flame so ur ce s such as

candles away from the AD9200A and

its power supply.

• The space adjacent to the converter

must either be ventilated or sufficiently

large to dissipate heat so that the ambient

tempe rature does not rise above 35

degrees Celsius (95°F).

• Note that the AD9200A is not completely

disconnected from the AC mains service

unless mains plug or appliance coupler

of the power supply is disconnect ed

from the mains outlet. Ensure that the

plug or appliance coupler of the power

supply is readily operable and easily

accessible for doing this.

Guarantee

This product is guaranteed for a period of two

years against faults in materials or workman-

ship. Refer to supplier for full sales and guar-

antee terms.
