Description

Sonifex PC-DIG4 Digitorc 4, 4 Stereo AES-3 I/O PCIe Sound Card

On the card is implemented both a single lane bus-master PCIe interface and four x 24-bit AES-3 codecs. Independent asynchronous sampling rate conversion on the inputs supports rates from 32kHz to 96kHz, while the output rate can be configured as 96kHz, 88.2kHz, 48kHz, 44.1kHz or 32kHz, either free-running or locked to an AES3 or AES11 reference on any of the inputs. When used with an internet time standard (e.g.ntp.org), a very precise sampling rate can be achieved.

Software sampling rate conversion is automatically inserted by Windows when the application rate does not match the hardware rate, ensuring that files of any sample rate can be played. Extended software bit depths of 32 and 24 bits are supported as well as 16 and 8 bits for playback and recording.

The playback topology consists of a master output level, mute control and peak meter, a wave level and mute control, and input monitor level and mute controls for each of the line inputs. The record topology consists of a master input level, mute control and peak meter, line input level controls for each of the physical inputs and a digital loopback level control and mute. The range on the input and output master controls is -96dB to 6dB, while the individual line controls range from -96dB to 0dB. The mixer functions allow inputs to be mixed back into each output, while a digital loopback is available from each playback channel into its corresponding record channel.

High quality electrostatically-shielded transformers are used on all the inputs and outputs to give superb performance.
Multiple cards may be installed in a single PC.

A 25-pin D-type connector to 8 x XLR breakout lead is offered as an option.

Sonifex  Sonifex at Pro FM Broadcast

Sonifex is a Private Limited Company owned by the Directors, which manufactures broadcast audio equipment for the radio, TV, security and telecommunications industries. This is a family business, started as a partnership in 1969 by Paul and Dorothy Brooke, which has had a steady turnover of trading, and has established a recognised position in the radio broadcasting industry. The company became a limited company in 1983 and the operation moved to new purpose built premises at Irthlingborough, Northamptonshire, during 1986. In 1987, the size of the premises was doubled to 11,000 square feet of production space with excellent working conditions and facilities for recreation. An extension was completed in February 1998, adding another 7,000 ft² of engineering and storage space. Over 90% of British radio broadcast studios have in the past used some form of Sonifex equipment and the company exports on average 50% of its products. Sonifex supplies equipment to over 60 countries world-wide and is recognised for the quality and reliability of its designs and finished equipment.
