The ADA8V3S is a complex input and output card for the Merging audio mainframe Hapi Mk III. With eight inputs and eight outputs, it offers two-way audio conversion: analog to digital and digital to analog.
These remote controlled Mic/Line Input and Output cards feature 3rd generation Dual Gain topology, inspired by the exceptional Anubis preamps, for highest audio quality without compromise.
With two ADA8V3S 8-channel Mic/Line In and Line Out Cards you can configure Hapi Mk III for up to 16 analog I/O channels.
The ADA8V3S supports sample rates of up to 192 kHz.
 

Features:

  • 8 exceptionally transparent, Swiss designed preamplifiers plus 8 outputs
  • Dynamic range of 139 dB (A-weighted, typ.) on the line inputs
  • Preamps offer up to 78 dB of gain (with Boost)
  • Full remote access for all parameter changes
  • Dynamic range of 124 dB (A-weighted, typ.) on the line outputs
  • Phantom power/polarity invert/low cut/impedance switchable per channel
  • Switch to line level on a per channel basis via display or remotely via browser
  • Auto-mute circuitry for “no-pop” power cycling
  • Digitally controlled output trims for line-up procedures
  • 2x 25-pin Sub D connector
  • Sample rates up to 192 kHz
