828M Anaconda 64
Channel Bi-Directional Digital Audio Snake System
The
828M supercedes the 828.
Building on the wide acceptance of the original
Anaconda, Aphex new Model 828M is a point-to-point 64 channel bi-directional
snake designed to easily and cost effectively connect digital or analog audio
systems as a mic snake or a drive snake for industry standard preamplifiers, consoles,
DAWs and recorders.
The new Anaconda Model 828M features
two MADI outputs as well as pass-through for digital audio at 96kHz sample rate
via SMUX protocol.
The Anaconda Model 828M is comprised of two
identical units on either end of a long distance optical fiber run. There are
eight ADAT optical inputs and outputs on each unit for local interfacing. Word
clock is generated by an ultra-precision voltage-controlled crystal; external
word clock is fed through one BNC terminated with 75 W;
word clock distribution through eight BNCs; and one RJ-45 for control and metering/status
feedback for products such as the Aphex 188 and 1788A mic preamplifiers.
Each unit has two fiber transceivers with
automatic failure switching for redundancy. The transceivers use industry standard
SC connectors for use with low cost, readily available multimode fiber. Two internal
power supplies automatically switch if one fails. The units are designed to be
mounted in the rear of a rack for ease of connection and space efficiency.
