Merging Technologies 8ch Mic/Line A/D & D/A V3 Expansion Card 192 kHz

About: Merging Technologies 8ch Mic/Line A/D & D/A V3 Expansion Card 192 kHz

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.
