AMS Neve 8816ADC Digital Output Option Card

The 8816ADC is a high-quality stereo analog-to-digital converter option card for the AMS Neve 8816 summing mixer that supports PCM sample rates up to 192kHz plus DSD, with sync inputs on AES3 and word clock The standard M.O. for hybrid analog/digital studios is to output from a multi-channel converter into an analog summing mixer and record the 2-track master back into the DAW project through a separate high-quality, stereo A-to-D converter.

On the other hand, if you've chosen the AMS Neve 8816 summing mixer for your OTB mixing, for around one-third the price of a high-quality stereo A-D, you can fit it with the 8816ADC digital option card, which you can control from the front panel of the 8816 summing mixer.
