Mic pre with analog gain in 3 dB steps and digital gain with 0.25 dB accuracy is available for AX24 providing a sonically very transparent integrated Mic pre and ADC design.  The Dynamic range is between 118 & 121 dB and the Mic pre equivalent noise floor is at -130 dB. AX24 offers an impressive dynamic range , making it the quietest and most transparent converter on the market.

Full remote controllable via USB or Ethernet.  AX24 is ideally suited for stage box applications or machine room environment, due to the powerful remote control.  The remote control interface is RS-422 nad can be adapted to USB, Ethernet or other data formats providing a very flexible control structure.

The DADI/O-PHD module can be installed in an existing AX24 converter system unit.  Additionally the two internal Firmware EPROM's of the AX24 basis unit have to be changed to version 2.20 in order to recognize the card.

This function is available to secure that the whole recording system is synchronised.  The function can be turned off in the system menu.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.
