Prism Sound Dream ADA-128 Audio Conversion System

The Prism Sound Dream ADA-128 is a state-of-the-art modular audio conversion system that sets new benchmarks in flexibility, capacity, and performance for professional audio environments. Building upon over three decades of Prism Sound’s expertise and the legacy of the renowned ADA-8XR, the ADA-128 is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern studios and production facilities.

Prism Sound Dream ADA-128 Key Features:

• Modular Design: Housed in a compact 2U chassis, the ADA-128 supports up to 20 plug-in modules, including eight-channel analog input and output modules, as well as eight-channel AES3 modules. It features four slots designed for 64-channel host modules, such as Pro Tools HDX and Dante, providing unparalleled scalability to accommodate various studio requirements.
• Advanced Digital Routing Architecture (A.D.R.A.): The system offers comprehensive internal and external connectivity, enabling seamless point-to-point routing across its modular setup. This architecture facilitates direct analog-to-AES3 routing without occupying host slots and supports host-to-host bridging, enhancing workflow efficiency.
• QClocks Technology: Equipped with four independent clock generators, each capable of operating at different sample rates and sync sources, the ADA-128 allows simultaneous multi-rate operations. This feature supports concurrent workflows, enabling separate studios or ingest stations to share the ADA-128’s resources without interference.
• Verifile Technology: Prism Sound’s proprietary Verifile technology embeds imperceptible metadata into the dither signal of each ADC. This allows downstream processes to verify the integrity of every sample, significantly reducing the need for exhaustive listening tests to detect errors in digital recordings or transmissions.
• Dedicated DSP Capability: Each I/O module and the internal routing module are equipped with dedicated DSP resources, paving the way for future enhancements and functionalities through simple software updates, ensuring the system remains at the forefront of audio technology.
