WTB: ADAT lightpipe interface... PCIe card... or something.

[Sammas]

Hey guys,

I need to get 16 channels of audio into and out of a mac pro reliably via lightpipe.

Anyone selling something that fits the bill? Motu 2408 perhaps? 828mk3? raydat card?

Drop me a PM if you do.

Hi Sammas

As in you have a Firewire ADAT interface and need analog to ADAT converters? Or you have the analog to ADAT converters and you are looking for the Firewire ADAT interface?

I have a good 8 channel analog ADAT converter, but I'm not sure if its what you want.

Hi!

I have the ADDA converters, I need a way of interfacing them with the computer.

M-audio firebridge might be your answer then

[Sammas]

They are certainly priced right! I've seen a lot of comments outlining its unreliability though.

Hopefully somewhere like sounddevices or turramusic have a decent return policy.

If you use an M-Audio lightbridge you most likely will need to get the recommended PCI card for it to run reliably (which it then will), so factor in another $80.

i;m running the adat from an isa428 with 828 card.
working really well.

using a tc fw interface - previously using an echo layla 3g. which is for sale

[Sammas]

I looked into the TC electronics stuff but it only supports 8 channels of I/O. Echo don't make an
interface with PCIe cards either. Why must they make it so hard.

ah youre right. its pci-x oopss
