AD10

Product Description

The LavryBlack AD10 is a stereo Analog to digital converter that accepts line level analog inputs and outputs stereo digital audio in XLR and optical formats. An XLR to RCA adpapter is included for connection to RCA/SPDIF inputs.

Connections

1.) Line inputs The AD10 has "Combo connectors" that can accept XLR or 1/4" T.R.S. or T.S. phone plugs for balanced or unbalanced sources.

The 1/4" input is wired in a standard manner so the tip is the "+" signal conductor for either T.R.S. or T.S. connections. The sleeve is the "-" signal conductor for T.R.S. connections and would be grounded by the sleeve in T.S. connections.

The XLR input is Pin 2 "+" and Pin 3 "-" for normal signal polarity. Thus, for unbalanced XLR connections, the "hot" signal conductor would be connected to Pin 2 and the signal return would be connected to Pin 3.

2.) Digital outputs The digital outputs consist of (1) male XLR and (1) Toslink optical connector.

The included XLR to RCA adapter can be used to feed a standard RCA to RCA 75 Ohm coaxial "SPDIF" cable for connection to RCA input SPDIF equipment. In the vast majority of cases, the RCA SPDIF input will be compatible with the output of the AD10 without the use of an impedance matching transformer, if cable length conforms to recommendation for coaxial SPDIF connections (<3 meters).
