About the ADC16
The Benchmark Media Systems ADC16 is a high-end 16-channel A/D converter that utilizes the same acclaimed analog and digital topology as the award-winning ADC1 two-channel converter. It features Benchmark's UltraLockDDS clocking technology for superior jitter rejection and low latency. The unit provides flexible digital connectivity including 16 channels of AES/EBU, coaxial SPDIF, and optical (ADAT/SPDIF) outputs, supporting sample rates from 44.1kHz to 192kHz and non-standard rates between 28kHz and 200kHz. It includes 16 nine-segment dual-range LED meters with peak hold, adjustable input gain trimpots, and an optional computer interface card for direct DAW integration like Pro Tools. Housed in a single rack space with transformerless balanced analog inputs via two DB25 connectors, it offers input levels from +8dBu to +28dBu for full-scale conversion. Originally priced at $3995 with shipping starting in 2010, it is now discontinued.
