At the heart of the Dream ADA-128 Modular High-Quality Audio Conversion System, the Prism Sound Dream ADA-128 32Ch Analog Dante I/Ois a 2 RU chassis that can accommodate up to 20 plug-in modules. Four of the slots can accommodate a range of 64-channel Host Modules including Pro Tools HDX, Dante, and MADI Host Modules. Sixteen slots can accommodate 8-channel analog A/D line-in and D/A line-out cards. As well as being able to route analog and AES3 I/O to and from Host media, full routing flexibility allows analog to/from AES3 routing without use of Host slots, and Host-to-Host bridging.

The Dream ADA-128 contains four independent clock generators, each of which can run at different sample rates and with different sync sources. The ADA-128's Host and I/O Modules can be dynamically assigned to these Clock Domains, allowing multiple workflows (such as separate project studios or ingest stations) to simultaneously share the resources of a single ADA-128's resources.

• The Dream ADA-128 can be controlled from the front-panel touchscreen or over IP using a browser-based control panel, which has been optimized for computer, phone, and tablet screens. Every accessible element of the unit is only a touch away. Swift and intuitive navigation has been developed for those working in the most pressured environments.
• The Dream ADA-128 control software runs in an onboard CPU module, on a quad-core ARM processor. Intuitive control software allows you to manage every element of the unit, delivering a fast, smooth, and efficient workflow, based on a high-quality graphical representation of every feature.

• The four independently synchronized clock domains allow for the Dream ADA-128 system to run at 4 different sample rates, allowing a single unit to deliver independent configurations for up to four recording and playback systems.

• With A.D.R.A., the ADA-128 delivers flexible interconnectivity both internally and externally allowing point-to-point routing throughout its modular configuration.

• Developed to meet the needs of audio archiving clients, where even the most minute, inaudible error is completely unacceptable, Verifile's radical proprietary technology, exclusive to Prism Sound, allows computer audio streams and recorded files to be checked for a wide range of clicks, errors, and dropouts, without any compromise in the audio content or any additional metadata.
• The Verifile process is entirely invisible and inaudible

The Dream ADA-128 redefines flexibility, capacity, and performance standards in professional audio conversion. In creating it, the company ripped up the rule book and started again, using all its 30+ years of ADC and DAC development experience. Building on the legacy of the Prism Sound Dream ADA-8XR, the resulting Dream ADA-128 architecture is set to meet the needs of the most demanding facilities for years to come.

Applications:

• Multiroom facility
• Pro-Tools recording
• Dolby Atmos
• Audio archiving

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I have three, independent stereo systems in my home, and ethernet ports near each of them. Can I use this equipment so I can play the same music on each of these systems at the same time? I.e. output from one system and input to the other two systems, using each separate pre-amp/power amp (or receiver) to power each separate pair of speakers?

A: No because the Audinate Dante AVIO 2-Channel Analog Input Adapter for Dante Audio Network is only compatible with other devices that have Dante connectivity.

Q: 2. What speakers can I connect to this and with what connector?

A: Powered monitors via a 3-pin female XLR connector.

Q: 3. Can the input / output version of these units be used together?

A: It would be helpful to have more details about the application you would be using this for as well as what you are connecting to and from. Please email us at audio@bhphotovideo.com with the information so we can best assist you..

Q: 4. Can the input version and output version of these units be used together as a standalone 2 channel dante system?

A: Yes you can, however you would need a switch as well.

Q: 5. Does this AVIO support phantom power to a condenser mic?

A: This device does not support phantom power.

Q: 6. Would this be the correct adapter to add an intercom system to my Dante Network? I'm looking to integrate a Clear-Comm FSII Base

A: No, the Audinate Dante AVIO 2-Channel XLR Analog Output Adapter for Dante Audio Network would not be the correct adapter to use with your Clear-Comm FSII Base; it would work for output only. Instead, I would recommend using one B&H # AUADPDAOAU1 for output from the Dante system to the program input on your intercom base, and one B&H # AUADPDAIAU1 for the stage announce output of your intercom base into the Dante network.

Q: 7. Will the AVIO 1 Input adapter except a 25 volt or 70 volt audio signal or does it need to be adapted to a line level first?

A: The Audinate Dante AVIO 1-Channel Analog Input Adapter for Dante Audio Network is intended for a balanced, line-level input signal.

Q: 8. Can I use Dante AVIO 2-Channle Analog "Input" Adapter to connect legacy analog speakers?

A: This is not the correct Dante adapter to output audio signals from a Dante network into your speakers. Audinate Dante AVIO 2-Channel XLR Analog Output Adapter for Dante Audio Network, BH #AUADPDAOAU2 would be the appropriate Dante adapter. The ouput adapter's male XLR connectors would go into the input of your legacy speakers.

Q: 9. Will this adapter work with analog microphones and supply phantom?

A: No, the Audinate Dante AVIO 2-Channel Analog Input Adapter for Dante Audio Network will not accept a microphone signal or supply phantom power. This adapter will integrate analog line level signals into a Dante Audio Network.

Q: 10. Can you recommend a PoE injector to use with this adapter?

A: An injector such as B&H # UBUPOEAT would be suitable to use with the Audinate Dante AVIO 1-Channel XLR Analog Output Adapter for Dante Audio Network.
