ISA ADN8

Description

With the introduction of the ISA ADN8, the classic ISA mic preamp can now be integrated directly into a Dante network, bringing console-quality preamps to the most advanced audio networks. The ISA ADN8 is an optional eight-channel A-D card that provides high-quality and precise analog-to-digital conversion for the Focusrite ISA 428 MK2 and ISA 828 MK2 mic preamps. With Dante, AES3, and ADAT connectivity, the card supports sample rates of up to 24-bit/192 kHz.

The card features a familiar set of professional-standard connectors, including primary and secondary Dante RJ45 output ports, an AES59 DB25 connector for AES3 output, and a pair of TOSLINK connectors for ADAT output. Word Clock I/O on BNC connectors allows synchronization with a wide range of external devices.

The ISA ADN8’s Dante outputs provide network connectivity for the ISA 428 MK2 and ISA 828 MK2 with all Focusrite RedNet devices and Red interfaces, as well as any other Dante-enabled devices from hundreds of manufacturers. Metering and settings are accessible via RedNet Control, and routing is managed through Dante Controller. RedNet Control software is included.
