Weiss - ADC 2 Audio signal converter

There is nothing better when it comes to conversion. It is in excellent condition and perfectly functioning.

The Weiss ADC2 is the successor to the renowned two-channel A/D converter ADC1-MK2.

The ADC2 uses cutting-edge A/D chips in our proven configuration with 'correlation technique', which reduces converter imperfections.

The analog input stages are balanced from the input connectors through to the converter chips. A high-quality microphone preamplifier is built-in as standard.

The supported sampling frequencies are 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz.

The output formats are AES/EBU in a single- or two-wire configuration, S/PDIF, and FireWire for direct connection to computers.

Synchronization can be internal or external via AES/EBU or BNC (Wordclock).

The integrated digital peak limiter allows you to set generous headroom on the analog inputs and still achieve a full-scale signal at the converter output.

A wide bar chart shows the level at the A/D input, the output level, and the gain reduction of the limiter mentioned above.

The output word length can be reduced from 24 to 16 bits thanks to the built-in POW-R dithering. It is also possible to have a 24-bit output and another at 16 bits. This feature is useful when a backup copy is required, for example on a DAT.

The sensitivity of the analog input can be set in 6 dB steps via a relay-controlled attenuator. A further gain control is implemented in the DSP chip in the digital domain.

Both channel 1 and channel 2 are completely independent, except for the sampling rate and the dithering settings.

The AES/EBU sync input can be used as a digital audio input. This enables limiting and/or applying dithering to digital audio signals. The peak-hold function can be used to monitor a transfer and check for any overloads.
