The LavryBlue 4496 is a modular system that can house stereo AD, DA, and MicPre modules. There are four "slots" available in each 4496 chassis, and multiple chassis can be used together for additional channels in multi-track applications. Each converter module occupies one slot and each MicPre module occupies two slots. The 4496 can be ordered with as few as one module or up to eight channels of conversion. The MSYNC module provides clock and external synchronization to all AD modules in a chassis, as well as a BNC Word Clock output.
Clocking (MSYNC)
Multichannel clock synchronization
Ultra-stable crystal-referenced internal or external sync operation at 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz
Wide lock mode is available for non-standard sample rates or vari-speed operation
One M•SYNC provides clocking and synchronization for all M•AD824 AD converter modules contained in the same 4496 chassis
Word Clock out to synch other units
Digital to Analog (MDA-824)
2 channels of sonically transparent Lavry D-to-A conversion
CrystalLock™ mode option eliminates the effects of source jitter on conversion accuracy.
Preamplification (MicPre)
2 channels of professional micpre
Impedance matching for Condenser, Dynamic, and Ribbon mic’s
Super-low noise and distortion over a wide input and gain range
Transformerless electronically balanced inputs and outputs provide sonic transparency with excellent channel matching.
