For those that have always wanted to get the most from their audio
interface. Now you can finally maximise it to the fullest with the OST-8
adat. After listening to our customers requests we have decided to
respond to their needs. Many people rely on the ADAT format and almost
every serious sound card includes an ADAT connection. Therefore,
incorporating an ADAT output is simply a logical progression for our
designs. Now, with the OST-8 adat we´ve introduced an 8 slot 500 series
enclosure with its own built-in premium converter to make capturing,
processing and digitalizing signals at the highest quality possible a
reality and easy as can be.
Once again Heritage Audio has relied on its tried and tested On
Slot Technology to guarantee the cleanest, most protected environment
for your valuable 500 series modules. Not only offering unmatched
filtering and isolation for each slot, but you can also be sure that
you´ll be getting the absolute best performance as each and every module
is individually regulated basically providing them their own power
supply and guaranteeing they receive all the juice they could possibly
ask for.
There are even two indicator lights for each slot confirming that the correct voltage (±16 V) is been used.
The OST-8 adat incorporates a high quality premium 24Bit/192 kHz
ADC that can operate as a MASTER unit or SLAVE to another with a BNC
connector to sync to WordClock to assure a stable conversion. Right out
of the box you already have a top-of-the-line 8 channel converter ready
to use with the possibility to gradually add special 500 series modules
to complete your own, unique recording or mixing rig.
Now, what must
be one of the coolest features is that it´s possible to select
individually, per channel, the input routed to the ADC. This means one
can choose between the signal directly from the INPUT, the signal after
going through the 500 module or an ADC EXTERNAL IN signal. This last
option is very attractive as it gives you even more processing
possibilities for your signal before the conversion stage.
You can
count on the OST-8 adat being sturdily built just like all of our
Heritage Audio products and includes quality gold plated XLR connectors
as well as the Inputs and Outputs duplicated on DB25 connectors for
further convenience.
Then there´s the ´LINK´ button on the back
that has turned into a must have as it permits you to internally connect
one module´s output to the next, adjacent module´s input with the no
need to use patch cables.
