Sonorus announces MODULAR/8
New York, NY - Sonorus, Inc. today announced the release of the Modular/8 the latest product in their AUDI/O series. This unit is a high quality, professional modular audio interface for those demanding the highest possible audio quality and is the first product resulting from Sonorus' strategic alliance with Swiss company Merging Technologies (makers of the PyramixTM editing system). "Modular/8 is the ultimate conversion system," says President Marc Lindahl. "I'm also excited about working with the Merging team and look forward to collaborating with them on future projects."
The Modular/8 is a 19" 2U rack mount unit housing eight channels configurable with any combination of 24 bit/48k ADC & DAC modules, 24 bit/96k ADC & DAC modules, and 48k or 96k AES/EBU digital in/out modules. ADAT lightpipe in/out is also included to connect the Modular/8 to the award winning STUDI/O® digital audio interface, including support for 96kHz sample rates via the S/MUXTM protocol. The Modular/8 can be remotely controlled by STUDI/O or can be used as a stand-alone unit.

Other features include video/wordclock in/out/loop, S/PDIF I/O, and an AES/EBU reference input usable when the Modular/8 is placed into external AES/EBU synchronization mode. You can also use this input to dictate your sample frequency for real-time sample rate conversion as well as the wordclock input.
