The DN9630 greatly simplifies the connection of computers to AES50 audio
networks to provide simultaneous multi-channel computer audio recording and
playback, making it ideal for use with MIDAS digital consoles and other AES50
equipped products. The single USB 2.0 interface connects directly to a
Windows PC or Apple Mac and features a very high channel count, offering up
to 48 bidirectional channels at 48 kHz and 24 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz
sample rates.
Digital Audio Networking
Our SuperMAC (AES50-Compliant) digital audio networking technology
simultaneously provides: high channel counts; ultra low and deterministic
latencies; sample-synchronous and phase-aligned networked clock distribution;
error detection and correction; network redundancy; and ease of deployment and
use – to meet the demanding requirements of live concert touring. The DN9630
is fully compatible with all MIDAS digital consoles, audio system engines,
digital I/O units, as well as all other AES50-equipped devices.
Dual Sample Rate Support
A dedicated slide switch is provided for either 48 or 96 kHz sample rates,
allowing the DN9630 to work with either AES50 network’s incoming source clock
for flawless synchronization.
Bus Powered
Operating power for the DN9630 is provided by the host computer’s USB 2.0 port
via a single USB cable that simplifies set up – and helps keep your workspace
clutter-free.
Drivers
DN9630 utilises dedicated audio software drivers for Windows PC operation
(free of charge download at klarkteknik.com), and supports the high channel
counts offered via USB 2.0. Apple Mac OS X provides native Core Audio driver
support for the DN9630
Built for the Road
Featuring a tough aluminium extrusion with durable protective silicone rubber
corner bumpers, the DN9630 is designed to handle the rigours of live concert
touring. A premium Neutrik etherCON connector ensures reliable AES50 network
connection, night after night.
