The module has been completely redesigned from the ground up for the best overall performance possible in 10 HP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOptx v2 is a pro-quality ADAT lightpipe converter for eurorack modular synthesizers. The DC-coupled module can encode and decode audio signals with extremely low noise, and CV signals with near-zero offset. Additionally, on-board sample clock allows for one-way ADAT output and the ability to be used standalone to interconnect eurorack systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eADAT Encoding \u0026amp; Decoding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMany computer audio interfaces are equipped with one or more pairs of ADAT expansion ports allowing for additional input and output channels. Optx v2 takes full advantage of these often unused ports, providing multi-channel connections directly to and from eurorack systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe module accepts any 8-channel ADAT encoded digital signal at the Rx TOSLINK jack (via lightpipe optical cable) and converts it into 8 discrete analog signals. Conversely, Optx v2 accepts 8 discrete analog signals and converts them into an 8-channel ADAT encoded digital signal available at the Tx jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhen used in conjunction with software such as Bitwig Studio or Ableton CV Tools, Optx v2 is an excellent interface not just for audio, but also control voltages like 1V\/oct pitch and gate signals, or LFOs, ADSRs and other modulators.Precision and Performance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOptx v2 has been fitted with high-performance op amp input buffers and professional-grade Cirrus Logic analog-to-digital converters with extremely low noise and distortion, maximum dynamic range, and excellent overall detail. The inputs and outputs have very precise level scaling with a range of 20 Vpp (±10 V). Thus a typical eurorack audio signal of 10 Vpp will translate to exactly -6 dBFS, while maintaining an equal amount of headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe module’s high-quality analog outputs, OUT 1-8, are DC-coupled and support both audio and CV (control voltage) signals at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe module’s analog inputs, IN 1-8, also accept both audio and CV signals. To ensure the best possible quality and precision, each pair of inputs has a front-panel switch that selects the conversion mode appropriate for each of these two signal types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn AUDIO mode, the selected input pair is AC-coupled by enabling high-pass filters within the ADC. This guarantees that the audio signals are converted with no DC offset and the best possible signal-to-noise ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn CV mode, the selected input pair is DC-coupled, and CV signals are converted with accuracy and precision. When switched into CV mode, the input pair undergoes a self-calibration period of 5 seconds to detect and then actively correct any inherent DC offset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNote: For critical CV input signals such as 1V\/oct pitch, re-calibrating after warm-up (25 minutes) can yield even better accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOn-board Sample Clock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSample clock synchronization is essential for high-quality digital conversion that is accurate and free from jitter. Like its predecessor, Optx v2 can either sync to an external sample clock via ADAT input, or produce its own stable clock so that other devices can instead sync to the module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere are two settings for sample clock sync selectable using dip switches on the back of the module. The first switch, SYNC, selects whether Optx v2 syncs to an external sample clock (EXT) or to its own (INT). The second switch, RATE, determines the sample rate of the on-board sample clock (44.1 or 48 kHz).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor a typical two-way ADAT connection with an audio interface, it is recommended to sync Optx v2 to the external clock of the interface by setting the SYNC switch to EXT. This requires a valid ADAT signal at the Tx jack, and is acknowledged by the blue LED labled EXT SYNC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIf the audio interface does not have an ADAT output port, Optx v2 can provide sample clock to the interface by setting the SYNC switch to INT and choosing the desired sample rate with the RATE switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt is also possible to directly interconnect two Optx modules (v1 or v2). This is similar to the two-way connection with an audio interface. In this case, one Optx must be set to internal sample clock sync (INT) and the other to external sync (EXT).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNote: For users of Push 3, the simplest configuration is to set Optx v2 to EXT and ensure Push 3 is set to Internal sample clock sync of either 44.1 or 48 kHz. The blue LED should illuminate indicating proper sync.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSignal LEDs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOptx v2 also provides visual signal indication of the 8 decoded ADAT channels feeding the OUT 1-8 jacks. Each pair of WHITE LEDs indicates the polarity (-Ve left, +Ve right) and relative strength of the signal (±10 V).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAudio-rate signals will generally light both LEDs continuously, whereas LFOs will alternate more apparently between the two. Gates, triggers and positive-going envelopes will generally light only the right LED (+Ve).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e+5 V Power Source\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSome of the circuitry within Optx v2 requires a +5 V power source. This source can be selected using a jumper on the back of the module. When set to OPTX, the module will create +5 V from the +12 V power rail. When set to CASE, the module will use +5 V supplied by the PSU in the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBi-directional ADAT lightpipe encoding\/decoding of 8 analog inputs\/outputs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSwitchable input mode (in pairs) powered by high-performance Cirrus Logic converters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAUDIO input mode ensures the highest fidelity possible with ultra-low noise\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSelf-calibrating CV input mode provides exceptional accuracy and near-zero offset (DC-coupled) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrecision DC-coupled outputs support both audio and CV signals\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInternal sample clock permits one-way operation without ADAT input and standalone interconnection of two Optx modules\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDual LEDs on each output indicate signal strength and polarity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTechnical Specs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e· Width: 10 HP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e· Depth: 1.5 in (38 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e· Weight: 4 oz (113 g)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e· Resolution: 24 bit, 44.1\/48 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e· Max I\/O Level: ±10 V (20 Vpp)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e· Input impedance: 50 kΩ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e· Power (1): +12 V 260 mA, -12 V 130 mA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e· Power (2): +12 V 130 mA, -12 V 130 mA, +5 V 270 mA\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boredbrain Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44477858480317,"sku":"1042078","price":509.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/4175\/9421\/files\/Boredbrain-Optx-v2-ADAT-Optical-Converter.jpg?v=1725372062"}],"url":"https:\/\/fr.moogaudio.com\/collections\/direct-i-o-modular.oembed","provider":"Moog Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
