Description
Overview
The Hosa CDL-313 Digital Audio Interface is a professional hardware converter designed to bridge the gap between two of the most common digital audio standards: S/PDIF Coax and AES/EBU. This interface ensures that your digital signal remains intact and transparent when interconnecting gear with mismatched I/O formats, eliminating the need for costly equipment upgrades or compromising signal quality.
Key Details
- Bidirectional Conversion: Supports two channels of S/PDIF coax to AES/EBU and vice versa.
- Simultaneous Transfer: Capable of performing conversion in both directions at the same time if your workflow requires it.
- High-Resolution Audio: Full support for 24-bit/96 kHz S/PDIF audio, ensuring professional-grade fidelity for studio recording and playback.
- Complete Power Solution: Includes the necessary AC adapter for immediate deployment.
Use Cases
- Hybrid Studio Integration: Connect a digital audio workstation (DAW) or interface that only features RCA S/PDIF outputs to a professional preamp or converter that requires XLR AES/EBU inputs.
- Digital Gear Interconnectivity: Seamlessly link digital recorders, outboard processors, and mixers regardless of whether they use coaxial or balanced XLR digital connections.
- Professional Signal Routing: Ideal for project studios and professional rooms requiring a reliable, repeatable method for routing high-resolution digital audio between disparate hardware brands.
Installation
The Hosa CDL-313 is a hardware-based interface and does not require software drivers or computer installation. To set up:
- Connect the S/PDIF Coax (RCA) cable from your source device to the corresponding input on the CDL-313.
- Connect the AES/EBU (XLR) cable from the CDL-313 output to your destination device.
- Connect the included AC adapter to a power source.
- Ensure both connected devices are set to the same sample rate (up to 96 kHz) for synchronized audio transfer.
