Product Description
AES & SPDIF DIGITAL AUDIO DEMODULATOR
Murraypro offers this attractive, elegant, compact and cost effective solution to the problem of demodulating and monitoring
monitoring AES/SPDIF digitally encoded audio.
Cat: 390A, AES card only Option, for inclusion within existing equipment.
Cat: 390S, SPDIF card only Option, for inclusion within existing equipment.
The Cat: 390A/S demodulator has been designed to be fitted within analogue audio equipment that lacks a dedicated AES/EBU
digital input, providing a transparent interface with the external digital input. Two channels are housed on the compact card only 80 x
50 mm, each furnishing a balanced audio OP. The modest +12Vpower requirements of the card are usually drawn from the host
equipment, removing the requirement for a separate external power supply.
The Cat 330A-2 fully conforms with the input requirements of the AES 3: 1992, Specification, requiring that equipment inputs are
wired as a single, dc blocked, transformer coupled, 110 ohm load.
The card automatically adjusts internal parameters to enable locking to the 44.1 or 48KHz standardised sampling frequencies.
Output drives are available for LED indicators.
The Cat 390* provides better than "CD quality" low distortion demodulated audio, with low background noise, that is suitable for
loudspeaker monitoring, headphone monitoring or meter driving. Whilst working in a natural 18 bit environment, the system
automatically adjusts to accept up to 24 bit resolution input signals.
The Murraypro card is normally supplied so that the EBU Standard level of -18dBFS corresponding with a Peak Program Meter
deflection to "4" = 0.775V RMS, 0dBV.7, 0dBU
To accommodate operation with systems using SMPTE digital modulation levels, on board adjustment is provided to ensure that
their Reference level of -20dBFS may be correctly displayed.
Naturally, the Cat 390* will handle the maximum 0dB FS level, without clipping.
The card is also available, to special Order, housed in stand alone case or rack mounted.
