Optocore has developed a new AES3 (AES/EBU) I/O card for its X6R 16-channel converters.
The new card provides 16 AES channels, with the ability to change the Inputs or Outputs in groups of eight. Complementing the existing Mic/Line conversion cards, the AES3 offers a number of new device options.
The user-configurable architecture will bring benefits to the pro audio community. For example devices equipped with an AES3 Card and an 8-channel analogue converter card will allow the user to decide whether he wants to use 16 AES channels (I/O switchable in groups of eight) or use the eight analogue channels combined with eight AES3 channels.
