Knobcon 2024: Boredbrain Debuts Optx v2 ADAT Interface For Eurorack Synthesizers
At Knobcon 2024, Boredbrain introduced the Optx v2 – ADAT Optical Converter, a pro-quality ADAT lightpipe converter for Eurorack modular synthesizers.
The DC-coupled module can encode and decode 8 analog inputs/outputs 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.
So this can be used both a high-end audio interface and as a way to route multichannel audio between Eurorack cases without running a bunch of patch cables between systems.
Features:
- 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
The Boredbrain Optx v2 ADAT Interface is available now to pre-order, with shipping targeted for Oct 17, 2024.
