Input Modules

AES Digital (#300): The AES Digital module is the most
straightforward audio solution for facilities that route AES
audio and use house sync to time audio and video sources.
The incoming AES audio sample rate should be equal to
the internal sample rate selected for the mixer (48, 96 or
192kHz). The Module Menu in the 328 mixers allows many
of the AES channel status bits, as well as the lock and
error status, to be monitored at a glance.

Channels 8 (4 Pairs)

Format AES3id 75Ω unbalanced

Sample Rates 48KHz / 96kHz / 192kHz

Precision 24 bits

AES SRC Digital (#301): The AES SRC Digital module

upgrades the standard AES Digital module with the addition
of asynchronous sample rate converters on each input pair.
This module is recommended for applications where
unlocked sources such as CD players or equipment with
varying sample rates are used. A bypass mode─accessible
in the Module Menu of the 328 mixers─allows the sample
rate converter to be bypassed for locked inputs when
desired.

Channels 8 (4 Pairs)

Sample Rates 16kHz - 212kHz

Dynamic Range -140dBFS @ 0dBFS

(SRC active)

Analog Line (#302): Four balanced line level inputs and
high-quality Burr-Brown ADCs make this module a great
choice for analog input sources. The built-in analog gain
trims allow operating level to be reached with inputs as hot
as 28dBu to as low as -18dBu (peak). Input connections
are made on a 15-pin D-Sub connector. A rack-mount
external XLR connector bridge is available (see
Accessories) to simplify the installation process.

Nominal Gain Range −22dBu—+10dBu

Analog w/Mic (#303): The Analog w/Mic module uses the

same high-performance circuitry as the 4 Channel Analog
Input, and adds an additional two channels of balanced mic
input on standard XLR connectors. A phantom power
switch turns on or off 48V phantom power to both inputs,
and an external LED indicator lights to warn when phantom
power is active. On-board jumpers for the pin 1 connec­tions allow multiple grounding options and AES48 compli­ance.

SD/HD SDI De-embedder (#304): The SD/HD SDI De-

embedder possesses one input and one loop-through
output BNC connector for SD/HD SDI sources. SD or HD
format is detected automatically. Any two of the four SDI
4-channel groups may be selected from the SDI embed­ded audio stream using the Module Setup menu on the
328 Mixer display. Asynchronous sample rate converters
on the module permit unlocked SDI sources, alternate
embedded audio sampling rates, or higher audio mixer
internal sample rates to be used. The sample rate con­verters may be bypassed if both the mixer and the SDI
signal are locked to house sync allowing support for the
pass-through of non-audio data such as Dolby E.

328 I/O Modules

Output Modules

AES Digital (#310): The AES Digital output provides four
additional AES digital outputs that may be used to drive a
second record deck or for digital monitoring. A setup menu
on the 328 mixer display allows the outputs to be driven
from either the program bus, the monitor bus or the meter
bus. The outputs are locked to the mixer and operate at the
internal sampling rate of the mixer.

Channels 8 (4 Pairs)

Format AES3id 75Ω unbalanced

Sample Rates 48KHz / 96kHz / 192kHz

Precision 24 bits

Analog (#313): The analog output module adds an

additional 8 channels of highperformance analog audio
to the 328 mixer. Using audiophile quality chips and cir­cuit design, the analog output delivers an incredibly rich
and dynamic sound. Like all of the mixer outputs, the
analog output may be driven from either the program
bus, monitor bus or meter bus. A rackmount external
XLR connector bridge is available (see Accessories) to
simplify the installation process.

SD/HD SDI Embedder (#314): The SD/HD SDI

Embedder module embeds the 8 output channels of the
mixer into an SD/HD SDI video stream. The SDI format
(SD or HD) is detected automatically. Asynchronous
sample rate converters on the module permit unlocked
SDI sources or higher audio mixer internal sample rates
to be used without audio 'hits'. Alternatively, the sample
rate converters may be bypassed if the mixer is operat­ed at 48kHz and both the mixer and the SDI signal are
locked to house sync allowing support for the pass­through of non-audio data such as Dolby E.

GPI Module (#347): The GPI module is an affordable option that may be added to any of the 328 Series
mixers. It provides four additional GPI contacts allowing external equipment to monitor either program or
preview audio and recall register setups. (Gray|328 mixers come standard with one GPI for Transition Start.)
The GPI module option is installed at the factory and must be ordered with the initial mixer purchase.

Analog Output Converter (#344): The Analog Output Converter is a low-cost DB-25 (D-Sub) adapter that
converts the 8-channel analog outputs of the 328 Series mixers to the common Tascam pinout, allowing the
use of an off-the-shelf DB-25 to XLR snake cable available from a number of audio accessory resellers.
Fully shielded, the Analog Output Converter assures AES48 compliance by routing the cable harness shield
to the chassis ground of the mixer.

Cable Wrangler (#340):

The Cable Wrangler is a
1RU rack-mount panel that

can accommodate up to four
4-XLR input bridges, two 8-XLR output bridges, or one 8-XLR output and one or two
4-XLR input bridges. Each bridge comes with a 1 meter (3 feet) shielded audio cable
to make connections to the Renegade Labs analog audio input and output modules a
snap. Jumpers on each bridge allow a choice of pin 1 grounding configurations to
accommodate various grounding schemes and to allow AES48 compliance.
