ADAT Optical Converter For Eurorack

Optx v2 ADAT lightpipe converter for eurorack modular synthesizers.

PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT

The DC-coupled module can encode and decode audio signals with extremely low noise, and CV signals with near-zero offset. Additionally, on-board sample clock allows for one-way ADAT output and the ability to be used standalone to interconnect eurorack systems.

Many computer audio interfaces are equipped with one or more pairs of ADAT expansion ports allowing for additional input and output channels. Optx v2 takes full advantage of these often unused ports, providing multi-channel connections directly to and from eurorack systems.

The module accepts any 8-channel ADAT encoded digital signal at the Rx TOSLINK jack (via lightpipe optical cable) and converts it into 8 discrete analog signals. Conversely, Optx v2 accepts 8 discrete analog signals and converts them into an 8-channel ADAT encoded digital signal available at the Tx jack.

When used in conjunction with software such as Bitwig Studio or Ableton CV Tools, Optx v2 is an excellent interface not just for audio, but also control voltages like 1V/oct pitch and gate signals, or LFOs, ADSRs and other modulators. 

• Bi-directional ADAT lightpipe encoding/decoding of 8 analog inputs/outputs
• Switchable input mode (in pairs) powered by high-performance Cirrus Logic converters
• AUDIO input mode ensures the highest fidelity possible with ultra-low noise
• Self-calibrating CV input mode provides exceptional accuracy and near-zero offset (DC-coupled) 
• Precision DC-coupled outputs support both audio and CV signals
• Internal sample clock permits one-way operation without ADAT input and standalone interconnection of two Optx modules
• Dual LEDs on each output indicate signal strength and polarity
