Universal Audio 2192

The Universal Audio 2192 Master Digital Audio Interface is the first product to combine Universal Audio's long history of creating high-quality, vintage analog gear with its advanced digital technology. While features like sample rates up to 192K, real-time transcoding between AES/EBU, S/PDIF and ADAT and support for single and dual-wire AES modes are sure to impress, what really sets the 2192 apart is its Class-A analog circuitry, which provides luscious detail and clarity while retaining the warmth and character of the original source - features not typically found in digital units.

The 2192 offers tremendous flexibility in signal routing and monitoring. You can, for example, run signal into the analog inputs at sample rates ranging from 44.1K to 192K and simultaneously output it to AES/EBU (single or dual-wire), S/PDIF and ADAT (with industry standard S-MUX interleaving for sample rates above 48kHz). The selectable output monitor allows you to monitor any of the digital inputs or the analog input with no interruption of the transcoding.

The UA 2192 also serves as an extremely high-quality digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converter. If, for example, you're working on a digital console or workstation that utilizes higher sample rates, the 2192 can dramatically improve your monitoring environment and/or the quality of your analog masters. As a front-end for a native workstation, the 2192 provides two channels of sterling sound quality for tracking, monitoring and mastering.

Now you don't have to choose between advanced digital features and old world analog quality... the 2192 delivers both.
