Merging Technologies ADA8V3S

The ADA8V3S is a complex input and output card for the Merging audio mainframe Hapi Mk III. With eight inputs and eight outputs, it offers two-way audio conversion: analog to digital and digital to analog. These remote controlled Mic/Line Input and Output cards feature 3rd generation Dual Gain topology, inspired by the exceptional Anubis preamps, for highest audio quality without compromise. With two ADA8V3S 8-channel Mic/Line In and Line Out Cards you can configure Hapi Mk III for up to 16 analog I/O channels. The ADA8V3S supports sample rates of up to 192 kHz.

- 8 exceptionally transparent, Swiss designed preamplifiers plus 8 outputs

- Dynamic range of 139 dB (A-weighted, typ.) on the line inputs

- Preamps offer up to 78 dB of gain (with Boost)

- Full remote access for all parameter changes

- Dynamic range of 124 dB (A-weighted, typ.) on the line outputs

- Phantom power/polarity invert/low cut/impedance switchable per channel

- Switch to line level on a per channel basis via display or remotely via browser

- Auto-mute circuitry for "no-pop" power cycling

- Digitally controlled output trims for line-up procedures

- 2x 25-pin Sub D connector

- Sample rates up to 192 kHz"
