What are SoundPals? 
Each Graham-Patten SoundPals module is essentially a digital audio building block that can be 
used independently, or interconnected to perform more advanced mixing and audio processing 
functions.   
SoundPals can be used in both standalone and system configurations: 
•  In a “standalone” configuration, each SoundPals module is designed to perform a specific 
audio processing function such as ADAT-to-Analog conversion.  In this way, each module 
functions as a perfect low-cost adjunct to larger mixing consoles (such as the Graham-
Patten D/ESAM series) — for single-purpose processing tasks.  
•  In a “system” configuration, SoundPals can be linked to form more comprehensive digital 
audio tools.  For field recording, studio applications, and workstation applications, 
SoundPals can be used to seamlessly perform functions that would otherwise require 
extensive peripheral gear.  Best of all, SoundPals “systems” can be re-configured quickly 
and easily — to suit your changing audio production requirements.  
All SoundPals modules are extremely compact, rugged, and identical in size for ease of 
installation, interconnection, and use.  In addition, SoundPals support AES3id.  This allows 
longer, more robust AES signal distribution using standard coaxial cable.  Error free distances of 
1000 feet can be attained using inexpensive coaxial cables.

Signals and Values 
Note the following important information regarding audio signal level: 
•  AES3 = Balanced output with 2 channels of digital audio (left and right) 
•  AES3id = Unbalanced output with 2 channels of digital audio (left and right)
