This module can be mounted in a GeckoFlex
frame when ordered with the 8900A-R GeckoFlex
Audio Rear module.
8921DAC
Four-channel audio digital-to-analog converter with
delay
8900-A-CBL (Gecko Frames only)
Package of four three-terminal to dual BNC cables,
used for unbalanced outputs on modules in a Gecko
frame
8900-GFA-CBL (GeckoFlex Frames only)
Package of four three-terminal to dual BNC cables,
used for unbalanced outputs on 8900A-R modules in
a GeckoFlex frame
The 8921DAC provides conversion of two
digital audio streams, either balanced or
unbalanced, to four analog audio outputs.
In addition to digital to analog conversion, it
offers per-channel independent delay with up
to 5 seconds per channel. Its various modes
enable modification of the outgoing analog
signal, such as channel gain, swapping,
channel summing, phase inversion, and
more. Many adjustments to this card can be
performed directly on the module’s card-edge
controls while a few of the more complex
adjustments require the Web-based interface
or the Newton control panel.
