INTRODUCTIONSECTION 1
The Lucid AD9624 24-bit A/D Converter and DA9624 24-bit D/A Converter each provide
24-bit conversion for recording, mastering or post production systems. Both two-channel units
also offer 96kHz conversion for maximum sampling bandwidth.
The AD9624 accepts two balanced or unbalanced analog audio signals and delivers 24-bit
digital audio via AES/EBU, TOSLINK, or S/PDIF digital outputs. The internally generated
sample rates are: 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, and 96kHz. The AD9624 also provides
optional 16-bit noise shaping on all outputs. Two twenty-segment LED meters allow easy yet
accurate level setting. The AD9624 is intended for use in +4dBu signal level systems.
The DA9624 accepts one AES/EBU, TOSLINK, or S/PDIF 24-bit digital input and delivers
two balanced or unbalanced analog outputs. The DA9624 provides digital-to-analog conversion
at sample rates of 96kHz, 88.2kHz, 48kHz, 44.1kHz, and 32kHz. An independent headphone
output allows instant monitoring. Two twenty-segment LED ladders guide you through output
level setting. The analog output signals appear on XLR-3 and u-inch TRS connectors for easy
connection to both balanced and unbalanced systems. The DA9624 operates at +4dBu signal
levels.
Both converters are housed in a half-rack sized chassis. The RM-4 rack mount tray (not sup-
plied) mounts any two 9624 series modules in one unit of rack space.
Both converters require an external power supply, the Lucid PS-3 or Lucid PS-3E (export). One
supply is required for each converter.
This manual covers both products. We recommend that you read this manual from cover to
cover. Somewhere between the confines of the two covers you should find the answers to most
(98%) of your questions, both technical as well as musical. Please feel free to contact us if you
have additional questions, comments or suggestions.
