LP32 alternatives?

Post by dgatwood »

After almost three months of waiting, I just got the dreaded email from Adorama that my LP32 order has been cancelled because the product is discontinued. So at this point, I'm starting to look for alternatives. My requirements are:

1. Minimum four ADAT inputs (16 channels at 96 kHz)
2. Minimum four ADAT outputs (16 channels at 96 kHz)
3. AVB (*not* Dante — DVC is limited to 32 channels at 96 kHz, and I want more flexibility than that, and I refuse to consider subscription software like their Pro DVC)

Any ideas? I thought about the M64, but I can't find a way to convert ADAT to MADI, and the M64 also appears to be unavailable everywhere.

No AVB but these can be used as expanders.

You’ll probably have to check the manual to see if this Klark Technique unit supports 96k ADAT

Same with the RME Digiface

Digiface USB does 16@24/96khz and 8@24/192khz, I'd assume the rest of the lot with ADAT I/O would do the same. That's the only one with 4 ADAT I/O though. They have a couple of MADIFace interfaces but those get up there price wise.
