ADB 100 is a professional
audio standard in your
Reckeen Studio!

USER GUIDE |
ADB 100 is an additional, external audio module extending functionality of the Reckeen 3D and LITE Virtual
Studio. With its built-in Audio Link interfaces, this device can be installed directly in the studio as well as on
the stage. The use of RJ 45 cable and Audio Link technology enables transferring all inputs and outputs
stream to greater distances (with a single RJ45 cable). This enables you to separate a recording studio
from a closed and acoustically insulated director’s room in which the Reckeen Studio 3D or Lite station
is installed. The sound transferred digitally from ADB 100 device through RJ 45 connector maintains
the highest quality and avoids noise. An advanced but easy-to-manage application integrated with the
Reckeen Virtual 3D Studio & Lite enables precise control over ADB 100 device. Intuitive operation and
signals routing make this preamp extremely flexible and performing well with many types of recordings
ADB 100 module is designed for professional producers, yet it maintains a size of 1U and a price at a
reasonable level. The device is equipped with professional inputs and connections with the highest AES
/ EBU signal quality (AES3), used mainly in studio technology.
ADB 100 works well at home, in the director’s room, in the studio, in the transmission car as well as
on the stage. The richness of various analog and digital interfaces provides maximum flexibility and
supports user productivity in the studio. With ADB 100 your Reckeen Studio is enriched with the highest
professional sound quality without any distortions.
Its main features are:
• Area in a Rack type housing: 1U
• 12V power supply
• 4 x XLR four channels –professional balanced analogue audio two stereo differential output
• 4 x XLR four channels –professional balanced analogue audio two stereo differential input
• High - quality headphones output
• Digital outputs : 2 x AES/EBU, (AES3)
• Digital inputs : 2 x AES/EBU, (AES3)
• Audio Link (using RJ45 cable up to 50 m ) galvanic isolation
• 4 8 V voltage at the microphone input,
• Professional balanced analogue audio stereo differential input ,dynamic and condenser microphone
input ¼”
• Control over signal routing via dedicated software integrated with the Reckeen Studio 3D & Lite
application
• Selectable reference level (-10dBV, or 4dBu)

You can adjust the sound in the range of -40 to +10 dB, where the 0 level (Analog In 1, Analog In 2)
corresponds to -10 dBV (-7.8 dBu or 0.316 V RMS) in the case of a consumer level, or 4dBu (1.78 dBV or
=1.23 volts RMS) in the case of a professional level analog inputs/outputs on ADB -100 panel. It depends
on audio level settings in Conguration Window: Audio Tab. Picture below.
Analog In 1 input on the XLR connector (left and right channel).Picture below.
Analog In 2 input on the XLR connector (left and right channel).Picture below.

MIC input Jack 6,3 mm stereo. Picture below.
In Conguration Window you can nd Microphone settings for the microphone connected to AUDIO
BOX panel (ADB -100).Picture below. There are two operating modes: a None mode with a dynamic
microphone, for which you can set the Gain value with a slider, and a Phantom mode with a condenser
microphone. When you switch to the Phantom mode, you will be warned that a voltage of 48 V will be
applied to the speech insert. A red LED lights up on the ADB 100.
Warning ! It is recommended not to connect or disconnect a microphone to the ADB-100 during the time
the red LED is lit up. You can safely connect a microphone only in NONE mode.
Headphone output Picture below.
Headphone connector is Jack 6,3 mm stereo. The Mute function works for each input source and the
master output. Selected sources are mixed, and create a Master Out signal. On the Headphones you can
hear the signal from any input or Master Out output. In this case, the Mute function will not work for the
Headphones, despite the checkboxes are on . You can listen any channel on the Headphones with Mute
function enabled. Picture below.
