, AES-3ID
Adjustable Audio Output Gain Trim
Dual-LED Audio Output Level VU Metering
The HR-DAC1 is an RDL HALF-RACK product, featuring an all metal chassis and the advanced circuitry for which RDL products are known. HALF-RACKs may be operated free-standing using the included feet or may be conveniently rack mounted using available rack-mount adapters.
APPLICATION: The HR-DAC1 is the ideal choice in installations requiring high quality analog audio from an AES/EBU, AES-3ID
or S/PDIF digital audio source. The HR-DAC1 automatically detects a valid input on any of the four input jacks: S/PDIF optical, S/PDIF coaxial, AES-3ID or AES/EBU. The AES/EBU input is 110 Ω terminated; the S/PDIF coaxial and AES-3ID jacks are 75 Ω terminated. A front-panel LOCK LED indicates the presence of a valid digital audio source without any phase-lock or bit errors. Sample rates from 32 kHz to 192 kHz are supported with front-panel LEDs to indicate standard digital audio rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz and 192 kHz.
The digital input is converted to stereo audio using high speed delta-sigma conversion, digital filtering and filtered wideband analog drivers. The high performance, low-noise converters are supplemented with digitally controlled analog gating to produce unparalleled performance. The LEFT and RIGHT output levels are individually adjustable using front-panel knobs. A dual-LED VU meter displays the output level of each channel to facilitate level adjustments. Balanced +4 dBu audio outputs are provided on a rear-panel detachable terminal block and on XLR jacks. Unbalanced -10 dBV outputs are provided on phono jacks. For installations requiring fixed, calibrated output levels, the HR-DAC1 front-panel knobs may be removed and replaced with security covers, available separately (RDL SC-2 Kit of two security caps with tightening tool).
The HR-DAC1 is powered from 24 Vdc, which may be connected through the detachable terminal block or through the dc power jack. A front-panel power switch is provided.
RDL’s proprietary bringing a high level of stability to digital to analog audio signal conversion under the variety of conditions encountered in professional environments.
Use the HR-DAC1 individually, or combine it with other RDL products as part of a complete audio/video system.

Typical Performance reflects product at publication time exclusive of EMC data, if any, supplied with product. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Connect 24 Vdc to either of the power inputs: DC Jack or Detachable terminal block
Connect one digital audio source to the appropriate input jack:
S/PDIF OPTICAL, S/PDIF COAXIAL, AES-3ID or AES/EBU
TERMINAL BLOCK WIRING
BALANCED
Output connections:
Connect balanced +4 dBu line-level output cables, left and right, to the XLR jacks.
Connect unbalanced -10 dBV line-level output cables, left and right, to the phono jacks.
For hard-wired installations, connect ba lanced (or unbalanced) audio cables to the detachable terminal block.
(Note: Unbalanced outputs connected to the terminal block will be fed at a
-2 dBu level for a front-panel dual-LED VU meter reading of +4 dBu. Use the phono jacks for standard -10 dBV output level.)
MOUNTING
For free-standing operation, use the four provided machine screws to mount the feet to the bottom of the module as shown.
Use the four provided machine screws to secure the module to an optional RDL mount, such as an HR-RA2 Rack Adapter.
