ADAT Optical Converter

Next generation ADAT conversion

Optx v2 is a pro-quality ADAT lightpipe converter for eurorack systems. The bidirectional module can encode/decode audio signals with extremely low noise, and incorporates a unique self-calibrating DC-coupled input mode to convert CV signals with near-zero offset. Additionally, on-board sample clock allows for one-way ADAT output and the ability to be used standalone to interconnect eurorack systems.

Features:

• Bidirectional ADAT lightpipe encoding/decoding of 8 analog inputs/outputs
• Switchable input mode (in pairs) powered by high-performance Cirrus Logic A/D converters
• Audio input mode ensures the highest fidelity possible with ultra-low noise
• Self-calibrating CV input mode provides exceptional accuracy and near-zero offset (DC-coupled)
• Precision DC-coupled outputs support both audio and CV signals
• Internal sample clock permits one-way operation without ADAT input and standalone interconnection of two Optx modules
• Dual LEDs on each output indicate signal strength and polarity
