Focusrite Pro has announced three ISA range interfaces for Dante Audio-over-IP networking – the eight-channel ISA 828 MkII microphone preamp, and the ADN8 and ADN2192kHz, 24-bit A/D cards.
The ISA 828 MkII features the same transformer-based input stage and Lundahl LL1538 transformer, as its predecessor. New, however, is compatibility with Dante Audio-over-IP networks, facilitated by the optional ISA ADN8 A-D card.
Also new is an updated power supply that allows for more efficient power consumption, a reduction in heat generation, and extremely reliable operation. The front panel remains unchanged, with six-step metering on each channel, and front-panel instrument inputs for Channels 1-4.
The Focusrite ISA ADN8 is an optional A/D card for the ISA 828 MkII and ISA 428 MkII. It provides Adat Optical, AES3 and Dante connectivity at rates up to 192kHz and 24 bits. The card offers primary and secondary RJ45 Dante output ports, an AES59-configured DB25 connector for AES3 output, and a pair of TOSLink connectors for Adat output. Word Clock I/O on BNC connectors allows synchronisation with many external devices.
The ISA ADN2, an optional two-channel 192kHz, 24-bit A/D card that provides high-quality analogue-to-digital conversion for the ISA One mic preamp and DI. The card offers primary and secondary RJ45 Dante output ports, an XLR connector for AES3 output, a TOSLink connector for Adat output and RCA connector for S/PDIF output. Word Clock I/O on BNC connectors allows synchronisation with many external devices.
