Compellor with Digital I/O. May be used as D/A or A/D converter, too --- analog or digital in, analog and digital out!
Dual Mono or Stereo
The 320D converts between acting as two independent mono processors
and one linked stereo processor by front panel selection. This is true
with both analog and digital I/O.
Analog or Digital in, Analog and Digital Out!
The 320D serves as a fine A to D converter with processing. When you
use the analog input, the digital output contains the Compellor's
processing and is therefore ready for use in almost any application.
Conversely, the 320D serves as a fine D to A converter. When you use
the digital input, the analog output contains the Compellor's
processing, and is properly levelled and packaged.
Analog and Digital Audio Interfaces
The professional analog audio inputs and outputs are fully balanced
and adapt to consumer or professional operating levels at the touch of
a button. Analog or digital source selection is made at the rear panel.
For digital interfacing, the 320D contains a high quality 24 bit low
noise codec to receive digital audio and transmit digital audio. Once
the incoming digital audio is converted by the DAC section, it passes
through the compellor as normal audio. The audio output is then
converted back to digital by the ADC section of the codec.
The rear panel AES3 jacks are standard professional 110 ohm
interfaces. There is no word clock input or output. Synchronizing is
done from the AES3 input signal or an internal clock. When a digital
input is present, the output is synchronized to the input sample rate.
If no digital input is present, the digital output automatically locks
to the internal default sample clock. The user can specify the sample
rate by changing the internal crystal. Spare crystals for 32kHz,
44.1kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz are supplied with the unit free of charge.
The model 320D codec translates the -20dBfs level of the digital
audio source to the 0dB reference within the Compellor circuits. The
average output levels will target around -20dBfs. The selectable peak
limiter's threshold translates to -6dBfs. Thus, no digital audio output
peaks will rise above -6dBfs when the limiter is on. The combination of
averaging the level around -20dBfs and holding peaks below -6dBfs
packages the audio perfectly for natural sound quality and for most
transfer or transmission purposes. For example, the digital audio would
be ready for direct input toan MP3 encoder, HD recorder, Broadcast
digital STL, .wav file, etc.
