The AD-24-200 Savitr provides improved quality, and ease of use for the most technically demanding recording and mastering studios.
This frankly astonishing converter outperforms our previous AD122 series converters across the board. The Savitr grants low distortion which redefines the industry standard. It extends the clock range to include 192 kHz, and automates the search for external clock signals.
*The Multiple WordClock configuration of the Savitr includes 4 additional WordClock outputs with termination sensing and indication LEDs. Proper termination reduces clock jitter, providing lower distortion. These outputs transform the Savitr into a superb masterclock for professional audio work.
