DAC-6880 AES/EBU Digital
Audio to Analog Audio Converter
Overview
The DAC-6880 Digital Audio to Analog Audio Converter converts a
standard 20-bit AES3-1992 digital signal to its analog equivalent. The
unit is available with a 110
Ω
balanced input or 75
Ω
coaxial input.
Accepting data at 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz, the DAC-6880 is a
complete digital audio to stereo analog audio converter. The module
receives and decodes data according to the AES3-1992 standard and will
identify a loss of input or clock with a card front error LED. The D/A
converter utilizes a 128X oversampled delta-sigma modulator and
filtering to provide high quality interpretation of 20 bit data.
Converted data is distributed to dual analog stereo outputs (two left, two
right). Full-scale analog output level is jumper-selectable for 18
dBu or +24 dBu with ± 6 dB card front adjustment.
Outputs are subject to Leitch’s high broadcast quality standards. The
module is available for use in all 6800 and 7000 series frames, providing
an economical standalone unit, as well as a system unit.
Specifications and designs are subject to change without notice.
The maximum analog output
level is +28 dBu.
