Expand Your Studio, Expand Your Sound
Connect the
500ADAT from
Cranborne Audio to the ADAT expansion ports on your audio interface and incorporate 500 series modules into your studio's tracking and mixing capabilities. The versatile unit functions as an 8-slot 500 series rack, 8-channel ADAT expander, analog summing mixer, and zero-latency artist mixer built into a 4 RU chassis.
ADAT Simplicity, 500 Series Possibilities
- Transform your ADAT-equipped audio interface into an analog powerhouse by adding 8 channels of expansion at up to 96 kHz or 4 channels of expansion at 192 kHz.
- The 500ADAT combines a high-current 8-slot 500 series chassis with digital conversion and ADAT, a powerful and accessible way to get your favorite 500 series modules into your tracking and mixing digital workflow.
- The unit features essential functions that unite digital and analog production workflows, such as an 8-into-2 analog summing mixer, zero-latency artist mixer with 2 reference-quality headphone outputs, and true ADAT & SMUXII/IV transmission.
Beyond ADAT
Seriously High-Powered Headphone Amps
Drive your headphones with 500ADAT's reference-quality headphone amplifier with enough power to drive low-impedance headphones with plenty of headroom and a linear frequency response to below 1 Hz. The two headphone outputs feature independent blend and level controls.
Zero-Latency Artist Mixer
Get your hands back onto the mix by using 500ADAT's two aux busses to create pristine-sounding analog artist mixes that can be blended with DAW playback, and sent to your musicians with zero-latency, physical level/pan controls per channel, and aux input blend controls.
Discrete Summing Mixer
Give your mix the final bit of analog character and send instrument groups and stems back-through your 500 series modules and into the discrete analog summing mixer to be sent back into your DAW.
Deep 500 Series Integration
Configurable Front End
Mix and match your 500 series modules to find the best combinations during recording, and mixing to help create your own signature analog sound.
Enough I/O for Any Hardware
The 500ADAT is designed to integrate with all of your analog and digital hardware. Patch in the 500ADAT with your own converter or integrate your 19" rack gear with dedicated TRS insert jacks per slot.
Source Select
Re-patch your 500ADAT at a flick of a switch. Dedicated source select switches for each 500 series slot adjusts the signal routing to send analog, C.A.S.T. or USB sources through each of your modules.
No Modules? No Problem
Bypass unused 500 series slots using 500ADAT's dedicated slot-bypass switch and you can use all of the available analog paths for recording whilst you continue to build your 500 series collection.
Expandable with 500R8
More Recording Channels
- When you want more 500 series connectivity, you can use up to two 500ADATs with some interfaces or pair the 500ADAT with the 500R8 (available separately). Connect the 500R8 and 500ADAT together via ADAT, and now you have 16 channels of 500 series modules to work with during recording and mixing. Whilst 500ADAT offers the same performance as 500R8, any third-party ADAT expander is also compatible.
- Play back instrument groups/stems into all 16 available 500 series slots for summing using the C.A.S.T. link connector.
