Product Overview
The dCS 904 ADC (Analogue to Digital Converter) is a high performance
converter designed for studio and live recording applications. It is designed to
produce very high standard digital output (for example, 192 kS/s or DSD) that
may be used directly or archived. If these formats are used, lower resolution
formats (for example Red Book CD) may produced by subsequent
downsampling. AES3, SPDIF, SDIF-2 PCM formats and several DSD formats
are all supported. Multiple units may be slaved together for stable multi-channel
operation.

The unit is mains powered and is housed in a 1U (1.75”) high 19” rack mounting
case. It may be controlled either from its front panel, or from a software based
remote control running on a PC via a com port. The unit’s last setting is
automatically stored on power down, so that fixed installations may be set up at
leisure, installed and then left alone. Unauthorised alterations to settings may
be prevented by a “panel lock out” feature.
