Apogee PSX-100

AD/DA 96k converter

The PSX-100 includes built-in interfaces for ADAT, TDIF, S/PDIF coax and optical plus multiple AES/EBU.

Other features include Apogee’s newly- enhanced UV22HR word-length reduction sys- tem (which can be applied to either the A/D or the D/A) and Soft Limit for maximum A/D level without overs. An auxiliary AES output allows a full-resolution output to be supplied, even when UV22HR is in use on the main outputs. The wide range of standard interfaces provided, including multiple AES I/O ports, allows the unit to be used for signal distribution and format conversion as well as for A/D and D/A applications. The inclusion of 88.2 and 96kHz sample rates makes the PSX-100 ideal for such applications as mastering high-resolution CDs uti- lizing 88.2kHz sampling, or for DVD-Audio masters sampled at 96kHz with 24-bit resolution. Meanwhile, the inclusion of UV22 to reduce the word length from 24 to 20 or 16 bits makes the unit equally suitable for traditional 16-bit CD mastering or for DVD-Video soundtracks requiring 20-bit signals sampled at 48 kHz.High Resolution on your MDM Built-in Apogee Bit-Splitting (ABS) modes allow the two-channel 24-bit signal from the PSX-100 to be recorded and replayed using pairs of tracks of a 16-bit 44.1/48kHz sampling recorder, via ADAT, TDIF or AES/EBU. With Apogee’s new ABS-96 mode, you can even record stereo at 96kHz sampling on your existing 16-bit 8-track! An optional video sync card allows the PSX to lock to NTSC/PAL color and monochrome video.
