The latest generation of NEXUS A/D-converter boards now offer eight high-quality analogue inputs on a single board. The outstanding performance of Stage Tec’s 24-bit converter has been further improved and now provides an incredible 133 dB of dynamic range and THD&N is reduced to 0.001%. The converter is also incorporated in Stage Tec’s TrueMatch RMC stand-alone multichannel A/D converter. The converter board is not only available with combined XLR/1/4inch standard sockets but also with computer networking style RJ45 connectors. This provides for quick and economical wiring especially in fixed installations using standard CAT5/6 S/STP lines. The port wiring complies with the EN 50173 standard and due to excellent CMR performance even unshielded cables (UTP) can be used with no loss of quality. The XAD+ provides remarkable input density as the RJ45 version of the XAD+ requires only 4 DU (approx. 20mm/0.79") on a NEXUS base device, so a total of 160 analogue inputs can be provided by a single 3-U base device.
