The AFI1 is a 24 channel Firewire Interface with 8 channels of bidirectional AES/EBU interfaces and 16 channels of bidirectional ADAT interfaces.

The AFI1 simultaneously supports the following conversions:

• Firewire to AES/EBU (8 channels)
• AES/EBU to Firewire (8 channels)
• Firewire to ADAT ( 16 channels max.)
• ADAT to Firewire ( 16 channels max.)

Features of the AFI1:

Inputs: Digital Audio inputs on Firewire (two connectors), XLR (AES/EBU), Toslink (ADAT, two connectors). AES/EBU switchable to dual wire operation for sampling rates of 176.4 or 192 kHz.

Outputs: Digital Audio outputs on Firewire (two connectors), XLR (AES/EBU), Toslink (ADAT, two connectors). AES/EBU switchable to dual wire operation for sampling rates of 176.4 or 192 kHz.

Sampling Rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz. Number of ADAT channels at 44.1/48: 16, at 88.2/96: 8, at 176.4/192: 4.

Synchronization: Internal or external via wordsync I/O on BNC connectors.

Software: Drivers for Windows™ and OSX™ operating systems.

Power Supply: Supply range: 100..240V. Power consumption 10VA max.

System requirements:
