Herbert Verdino Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hi all, I am searching for an (not so expensive) format converter from 8 channel AES to USB, or 8 channel AES to ADAT. The only thing I found in www is from RME. http://www.rme-audio.de/products_adi_192_dd.php but this thing costs about 1.200€ ... I wana use my Aaton Cantar for computer recording and use it as an AD converter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Thomas Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 If you don't need SRC or 192kHz, RME do a cheaper converter (which will work off DC): http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_adi_4_dd.php You'll need an interface card with ADAT to run it though There's a few AES PCIe cards available too, no USB though (that I know of). Metric Halo's LIO-8 will go to firewire but it's US$4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Visser Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I've got 3 of the Alesis AI4 units. Want one? $150 ea + shipping. It will not do SRC, but does have a WC input. http://www.alesis.com/ai4 ah, just noticed your in Austria. Maybe you can buy all 3 for $350 to make the shipping worthwhile.

api Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I've been searching high and low for 6 channel AES out via USB, but RMEs ADI-4 DD with Fireface UC is the only affordable solution I have found so far. As far as I know, for external audio interfaces on the Mac Metric Halo's LIO-8 is the next step up and it only does Firewire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Thomas Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 has ADAT in only and is fairly cheap. RME Babyface and MOTU Track 16 will also do ADAT I/O and are cheaper than the UC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbert Verdino Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thank you tom, but I think sending me this thing from Honoulu to Austria isn`t worth it. But thank you veary much. I will try to find one here in EU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
