Product Description
The LavryBlack AD11 is a stereo Analog to digital converter that accepts either line level analog inputs or microphone inputs and outputs stereo digital audio via XLR, RCA, and USB. The Line input and Microphone input stages are completely separate and relay bypassed; so there is no compromise to the performance in either mode.

Connections
- Line inputs
The AD11 has "Combo connectors" that can accept XLR or 1/4" T.R.S. or T.S. phone plugs for balanced or unbalanced sources.
The 1/4" input is wired in a standard manner so the tip is the "+" signal conductor for either T.R.S. or T.S. connections. The sleeve is the "-" signal conductor for T.R.S. connections and would be grounded by the sleeve in T.S. connections.
The XLR input is Pin 2 "+" and Pin 3 "-" for normal signal polarity. Thus, for unbalanced XLR connections, the "hot" signal conductor would be connected to Pin 2 and the signal return would be connected to Pin 3.
- Digital outputs
The digital outputs consist of (1) male XLR and (1) Toslink optical connector.
The included XLR to RCA adapter can be used to feed a standard RCA to RCA 75 Ohm coaxial "SPDIF" cable for connection to RCA input SPDIF equipment. In the vast majority of cases, the RCA SPDIF input will be compatible with the output of the AD10 without the use of an impedance matching transformer, if cable length conforms to recommendation for coaxial SPDIF connections (<3 meters).
