MUTEC MC-4

The MC-4 is a high performance digital multichannel audio format and sampling rate converter for ADAT™, AES3 and S/P-DIF.

ADAT™, AES/EBU and S/P-DIF interfaces working in one box
Format and sampling rate conversions up to 192.0 kHz
SMUX2 and SMUX4 support for ADAT™conversions
Signal improvement through audiophil-optimized PLL synthesizers
Extremely flexible synchronization options
Separate AES11 reference clock input for e.g. broadcast use
Converts standalone and bidirectionally with different sampling rates: X-SRC
16 channel sampling rate conversion engine (SRC) for bidirectional conversions
Continuous signal supply in absence of the reference audio or clock signal
Runs standalone in all SRC operation modes without needing an external master clock reference
AES11, Grade 1, internal reference clock (0.5 ppm)
Word Clock output useable as master clock reference
Easy configurable
User settings will be stored in FLASH memory after switching-off
Rack space saving ½ 19” case allowing for mounting two devices side by side in one rack unit
Built-in international power supply

Applications
Interconnection of consumer and professional digital audio devices
Audiophil clock recovery and signal regeneration
ADAT™ + SMUX2/4, AES3 and S/P-DIF format and sampling rate conversions
Integration of non-synchronizable devices, like musical instruments, DAT players, MD recorders or DAWs into digital studio environments
Realtime bidirectional signal transfers between sends/returns of digital mixing consoles and effect processors
Uni- and bidirectional interconnection of computerbased sound cards with professional digital audio equipment
