Stage Tec D/A-Converter Technology

›  Negligible converter inaccuracies  Stage Tec D/A converters produce a stable and almost perfect conversion curve, showing virtually no errors over the entire conversion range.

›  Ultra-Low THD  Stage Tec D/A converters offer ultra-low THD over a wide level range, making them ideally suited to applications such as monitoring, large sound-reinforcement systems, and high-quality analogue recording.

›  Homogenous Noise Spectrum  Stage Tec D/A converters have a homogenous noise spectrum over the entire conversion range. The intrinsic noise is practically imperceptible even at very low input levels.

›  Low Latencies  Thanks to the ultra-low latency, the HXDA board is ideally suited to live-sound applications.

Transformer-Insulated Output Stage

Thanks to an innovative and sophisticated design, all channels feature transformer-insulated output circuits. This provides the following benefits when compared with traditional switch-based solutions:

• Insusceptibility to magnetic fields
• Low THD&N at both low and high levels and even at low frequencies
• Low output impedance
• 
  Precision balancing
• Compact dimensions and low weight
  

RJ45 Ports

The HXDA is available with an RJ45 port. This provides for quick and economical wiring using standard S/STP lines particularly in static installations. The port wiring complies with the EN 50173 standard. The mounting width of the RJ45 version is just 4 HP on the Base Device.
The RJ 45-ADP adapter PCB is available for connecting signal sources requiring XLR ports. This allows an XLR extension to be accomplished via a multicore S/STP or UTP multicore (CAT5) cable. The RJ-45 wiring is the same as on the HXDA board.

Low Space Requirements

The HXDA requires just 4 HP in the Base Device.

Application Note

With regard to the common earth potential shared by the individual channel pairs, the outputs should not be connected to patchbays. Ground loops may occur when using single-channel output signals.
The HXDA is perfectly suited to stereo or multichannel applications.
