Mungo Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Hi, does anybody know a 2ch, small, portable, light and battery supplied AES-3 to analogue line level converter? I'm looking for something to make some line inputs suitable for occasional use with AES signals. Any ideas? I go mad since I don't find any device like that.

Jay Rose Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 There are plenty of pocket s/pdif to RCA analog converters. They come with wall warts, but easy enough to replace with batteries... it's not like they draw much current. (I use ones from Gefen... AFAIK, the same guys who used to sell sound effects!) AES3 to s/pdif in is just a couple of resistors. RCA -10 dBV unbalanced analog out depends on your line inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungo Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 That's indeed worth trying out, thank you. There may be issues with the unbalanced audio when powered through the same battery as the mixer (5 volt converter), but I'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPSharman Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 What are you plugging into what? I am looking for ways of cleverly increasing track count using my 788T to feed extra channels into my 664. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can build a workable PSU that uses 4 AA batteries and it will run for many hours. I've sent it digital audio from various Sound Devices recorders and it worked just fine. Consumer level out.

Coleman Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi, this is a discontinued item, but perhaps Denecke still has some in stock? Might be worth a phone call. Well that is if this is even suitable for your application. Good luck Coleman http://www.denecke.com/Support/Documents/AD20 2007.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 The OP was asking about a DAC, this is an ADC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Yeah this was just an old memory. Shot in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Rose Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Philip, thanks. That's the Gefen I was referring to. I've use a bunch of 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to use wireless receivers with AES out (Sennheiser EK 6042 and Sony DWR-S02DN) on the inputs 4-6 on the 633 and 7-12 on the 664. The analogue output level of these receivers is too low and I've made thoughts trying a different way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
