192 I/O
World-Class 24-Bit/192 kHz Multi-Channel Audio Interface
The 192 I/O is a 16 channel,
high-definition, 24-bit/192
kHz, digital audio interface
specifically designed to take full
advantage of the increased
fidelity and dynamic range
capabilities available within
the Pro Tools|HD environment. The 192 I/O features support for up to 16 simultaneous channels of inputs and outputs
based on a wide range of available analog and digital interfaces including: 8 channels of high-definition, pristine quality
analog I/O; 8 channels of AES/EBU; eight channels of TDIF; 16 channels of ADAT; and 2 additional channels of AES/EBU
and S/PDIF digital I/O. Aside from its
outstanding sonic specs, 192 I/O fea-
tures the most flexible architecture ever
offered in a Digidesign audio interface.
With an I/O expansion bay, 192 I/O
allows you to expand I/O options with
one of three available expansion cards.Whether you want more analog inputs than outputs or more digital I/O. 192 I/O is
the best sounding audio interface ever offered by Digidesign, rivaling interfaces costing more than twice its price.

Multi-Channel I/O
◆ 16 simultaneous discrete channels of high-
definition I/O with Pro Tools|HD derived
from 50 possible inputs and outputs.
◆ Eight channels of 24-bit A-to-D and D-to-
A converters for superior analog input and
output at sampling rates of 44.1,48, 88.2,
96, 176.4, and 192 kHz.
◆ Eight channels of 24-bit AES/EBU digital
I/O on a DB-25 connector with support
for sampling rates of up to 192 kHz.
◆ An eight channel TDIF digital I/O port is
provided on a DB–25 connector.
◆ Sixteen channels of optical I/O via two sets
of eight channel ADAT Lightpipe I/O con-
nectors. One optical pair can be switched
to two channels of optical S/PDIF I/O.
◆ An additional AES/EBU digital I/O, using
XLR conectors,is provided with support
for sampling rates up to 96 kHz.
◆ 24-bit-capable coaxial S/PDIF digital I/O
supporting sample rates of up to 96 kHz.
◆ Switchable, real-time sample rate conver-
sion on the multi-channel digital inputs
allows easy streaming of digital signals at
any sample rate.
◆ Wo rd Clock input and output for synchro-
nizing 192 I/O with external Word Clock
or 256x (Slave Clock) devices.
Metering
◆ 4-segment LED Meters to monitor input
and output on each of the 16 channels.
Expansion
◆ Simultaneous use of up to eight 192 I/O
units is supported, for a maximum of 96
channels of I/O at 96 kHz.
◆ An DigiLink Expansion Port is provided
for direct connection of an additional 192
I/O or 96 I/O.
◆ Optional addition of cards to expand ana-
log or digital I/O.
◆ A Legacy Port is included for Digidesign
MIX-series audio interfaces.
Soft Clip Limiting
◆ When using the A-to-D converters, a
switchable Soft-Clip Limiter algorithm
allows you to achieve higher signal levels to
disk helping eliminate clipping transients
that can cause digital distortion while the
same time offering the warmth and com-
pression characteristics of analog tape sat-
uration.
◆ With Soft Clip enabled,the 192 I/O sup-
ports an additional 4 dB of headroom by
rounding off the top 4 dB to the clip point.
DigiLink Cables
◆ A 1.5´ DigiLink cable and 1.5´ BNC cable is
included with each interface.
