This is the new ultra low-latency 24bit/192kHz A/D converter module option for the m201 mic preamplifier - a combination designed to capture a new level of sonic clarity, detail and nuance. The A/D module is available on new m201 preamplifiers from the factory or is available as a factory upgrade to existing units.

With the A/D converter module installed, the microphone preamplifier section or the M+S matrix can be routed to the A/D converter input directly for standard recording applications. Or, with the additional analog line inputs on the A/D converter module, the mic preamplifier and A/D converter sections can be used separately, which allows for external processing to be inserted between the mic amp and the A/D converter.

With the growing popularity of passive summing networks for 'out of the box' mixing, the m201 with AD converter makes a perfect transparent make up gain amplifier with the option to insert your favorite analog EQ or compressor in the path before the A/D converter. Or, simply use the A/D converter standalone for mixing, transferring, or recording from whatever source you choose.

External synchronization to word clock or Digidesign LoopSync is available, and features our proprietary dual stage PPL with s-Lock for extremely low jitter and rock solid digital stability without the use of sample rate conversion.

The m201 A/D converter module also features two independent A/D sensitivity configurations. From the front panel interface, the user can easily switch between two calibrated settings (A) and (B), each of which can be configured to one of four provided standard A/D sensitivities.

The m201 mic preamplifier is the ultimate high fidelity 2 channel mic preamplifier. With the new A/D converter module, it becomes a powerful, flexible recording tool for any audio production environment.
