Lavry Engineering Blue 4496-21 2-Channel AD/DA Converter and Microphone Preamp Details.

The Lavry Engineering Blue 4496-21 world class 2 channel AD/DA plus MicPre. This unit includes the M.AD824 2 channel A/D converter, M.DA824 2 channel D/A converter, M.SYNC Master clock sync board, and 2 channel Microphone Preamplifier.

The LavryBlue M∙AD824 AD converter module and M.SYNC board

Features

2 channels of sonically transparent Lavry A-to-D conversion
Ultra-stable internal crystal operation at 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz
Narrow external lock for ultra-stable operation at 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz
Wide lock mode for non-standard sample rates or vari-speed operation
24 bit, 16 bit and 16 bit plus dither and ácoustic âit Correction™ noise shaping.
Analog and Digital Saturation modes allow hotter recording levels
Digital level metering with “clipping” indicators and peak hold
Reference mode for calibration to studio standard levels
SPDIF compatible AES/XLR digital output

The LavryBlue M∙DA824 DA module converter Features

2 channels of sonically transparent Lavry D-to-A conversion
CrystalLock™ mode eliminates the effects of source jitter on conversion
CrystalLock™ and Narrow modes operate at 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz
Wide mode accommodates non-standard sample rates and vari-speed
Clocking from AES/SPDIF input requires no user settings when changing sample rates and allows the DA module to operate asynchronously and at different sample rates than the AD converter. For example: monitor 44.1 kHz CD and record 96 kHz simultaneously with one 4496 rack.

The LavryBlue Microphone Preamplifier module Features

Two channels of professional microphone preamplification
Impedance matching for Condenser, Dynamic, and Ribbon mic’s
Super-low noise and distortion over a wide input and gain range
Transformerless electronically balanced inputs and outputs
Precision Gain setting 21-70 dB’s in 1dB steps
48V Phantom power with internal disable for vintage condenser microphones

The MicPre provides state of the art noise performance that accommodates even the weakest microphone signals, and a wide input range for the strongest mic signals. Ultra-low distortions across the complete audio frequency band insure maximum signal transparency at all gain settings.

The MicPre is designed to yield a superior dynamic range even for high source impedance microphones. The transformer free input provides pure and transparent bass, while featuring state of the art in common mode rejection exceeding transformer based units (for elimination of hum and interference pickup). Phantom power per channel is ultra-low noise double shunt regulated for minimum noise and channel separation.

Outside, the no-nonsense controls are extremely user friendly. Each channel is equipped with a 2-digit gain setting display and up/down switch. These individual controls accommodate 21-70dB of gain in 1dB steps. A Gain Pad switch (per stereo pair) changes the gain range to 11-60dB, for higher level inputs or to feed lower voltage analog interfaces. The last gain settings are stored and will reappear at next use.

Each stereo pair has a microphone selection switch (Condenser, Dynamic or Ribbon), for microphone load optimization. Setting to “condenser” activates the phantom power. Internal jumpers allow change from balanced to unbalanced outputs, and for disabling the phantom power when using self-powered vintage mic’s.

This unit operates with AC power from 90 - 264 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
