A16 XLR

Post by enumeratus »

Looking at the newest (black) A16 ultra AD/DA converter box by SonicCore:
Wouldn't it be cool to have the same device with XLR connectors?

well, combo sockets. and since you would need at least 2U for it anyway, a balanced/unbalanced switch per socket would be nice... :)

that'd require a 3 space chassis...
it WOULD be nice, but soldering a trs end is pretty easy....

well, a version with DB25 breakout connectors comes to my mind :)
(and corresponding patch bays or whips)

It seems someone at SC listened to your prayers... just saw this on their website.


Enjoy

Good move, they're really gorgeous. :)

you know, it's amazing what a difference a good design decision can make to the desirability of a product...

well both the white and black design looks way better.

And while it is only a cosmetical thing, it looks more seriously and so fits better to the scope product portfolio .... :wink:

Well i can't really understand this move.
A16 could already handle both unbalanced and balanced signals.
I could understand the move if it could replace a 16 channel preamp (phantom power, gain etc).
Is there something i don't see?

I was wondering the same thing. If it isn't a mic preamp box, what good is it, being XLR?

well, there is a lot of outboard gear delivering balanced I/O as XLR, so it's the easiest way to take a mic cable instead of a XLR to TRS whip. yes, you can use a TRS to TRS cable for gear that has combo sockets, too, but that's not always the case.

equipping balanced outputs with TRS sockets seems to have established as a workaround in situations where high port density is desired only.
