This used Digidesign 96 IO Pro Tools Audio Interface comes with a Power Cable. ConditionThis interface is in very good condition with normal cosmetic wear, has been fully tested and works great. Please see pictures for details on item condition - only what is pictured is included. We recommend checking with the manufacturer for the latest operating system and hardware compatibility before purchasing this item. Product Details The Digidesign 96 I/O is a 16-channel digital audio interface featuring 24-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) converters, and supports sample rates of up to 96 kHz. Analog Inputs - The 96 I/O has eight balanced, 1/4-inch TRS connectors for analog audio input connections. These inputs feature 24-bit A/D converters. Analog Outputs - The 96 I/O has eight balanced/unbalanced, 1/4-inch TRS connectors for analog audio output connections. These outputs feature 24-bit D/A converters. Unbalanced connections are supported with the use of standard 1/4-inch mono phone plugs. AES/EBU Digital In and Out - These are balanced, three-conductor XLR connectors that accept and output a stereo, 24-bit AES/EBU digital data stream. These two ports support up to 96 kHz sample rates. S/PDIF Digital In and Out - These are unbalanced RCA jacks that accept and output a stereo S/PDIF digital data stream. S/PDIF supports up to 24-bit audio, at sample rates up to 96 kHz. Loop Sync In and Out - Loop Sync is a dedicated clock signal for synchronizing multiple Pro Tools|HD peripherals together. Loop Sync uses a Word clock signal based on sample rates of either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. As sample rate increases in the system, Loop Sync continues to operate at a base rate of 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, depending upon the higher rate. Optical (ADAT) In and Out - The Optical ports accept up to eight channels of Optical (ADAT) input and output, or two channels (stereo) optical S/PDIF input and output. Optical (ADAT) mode supports sample rates up to 48 kHz. In TOS-Link mode, the 96 I/O supports two-channel Optical input and output at sample rates up to 96 kHz. EXT. CLOCK In and Out - The External Clock In and Out ports are standard BNC connectors that receive and output a Word clock signal. These ports can be used to synchronize the 96 I/O to any device that requires (or provides) word clock. Primary Port - The Primary Port is used to connect the 96 I/O to your Pro Tools|HD cards, or to another Pro Tools|HD audio interface, using a DigiLink cable. Expansion Port - The Expansion Port is used to connect an additional Pro Tools|HD I/O to the 96 I/O. This port is only available when the 96 I/O is connected to a Pro Tools|HD card (it is not available when the 96 I/O is connected to the Expansion Port on another audio interface). Legacy Port - The Legacy Port is used to connect qualified Pro Tools|24 MIX-series Digidesign audio interfaces to the 96 I/O. You can connect two eight channel interfaces (such as the 888|24 I/O or 882|20 I/O) or a single sixteen-channel interface (1622 I/O or 24-bit ADAT Bridge I/O) for expanded input and output options, using their original cables. Please Note:The Digidesign 96 I/O requires a Digidesign qualified Pro Tools|HD system. The 96 I/O can be used as the only audio interface in a Pro Tools|HD system (no other audio interface present), or as an expansion I/O when combined with a 192 I/O, 192 Digital I/O, 96i I/O, or other 96 I/O audio interface.
