AD-24 ANALOG
INPUT RACK BOX
OVERVIEW
FEATURE
TRS and DB-25 input
format with pass through
48 kHz / 24bit digital to
analog conversion
Simple front panel setup
LED VU indicators
If you have an analog based system, the AD-24 Analog Input
Rack Box is the unit that will take your analog signals and
convert them to digital for use in the Livemix system. It is a
single rack space box that will most likely live somewhere near
the analog source. If this is your mixer’s Direct Outs or Inserts,
then the AD-24 will be near the mixer. If you use a snake with
mic preamps, it might be near the snake.
The AD-24 can take your input signal via TRS or DB-25. The
inputs are pass through so you can patch your analog signal out
of the AD-24 if required.
