The Lunatec V3 by Grace Design is
a portable, 2-channel microphone preamplifier and high-definition A/D converter
designed for audio professionals in the concert taping, music recording
and location sound markets.Based on the industry standard Lunatec V2, the
V3 represents significant enhancements that enable customers to directly
output digital audio signals to high bit depth and high sample rate recording
systems.
The Lunatec V3 key features:
•Includes the identical microphone preamplifiers
and feature set of the industry standard Lunatec V2.
•Ultra-low distortion, stereo, 24-bit A/D
conversion included as standard. Outputs include S/PDIF (RCA), TOSLINK
(must indicate when ordering) and two sets of AES3 (XLR). Sample rates
of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz are supported.
•Both single and dual-wire 176.4 and 192
kHz AES/EBU modes are provided via a pair of XLR connectors, which enable
connection to today's high sample rate dual-wire digital recording systems
as well as provision for single-wire systems that will likely become the
standard in the future.
•ANSR(TM), our unique new dither circuit,
can be applied for word-length reduction when sending signals to a 16-bit
digital recorder.
•The converter section can be disabled
to operate in analog-only mode, which provides system battery power conservation
of up to 40%.
•Dual, 8-segment dot mode LED
meters provide critical level information at a glance.
•All V3 controls are recessed for maximum
protection against rough handling while in the field. Rear panel-mounted
BNC connector provides Word Clock output.
•Operates on 6V DC and includes a locking
DC connector for confidence when operating in the field. Future expansion
capabilities allow for implementation of direct-to-computer connection
such as USB 2.x, Firewire, mLan etc.
•5 year, limited warranty on parts and
labor- MSRP $1,695.00
