USER GUIDE |
ADB 100 is an additional, external audio module extending functionality of the Reckeen 3D and LITE Virtual
Studio. With its built-in Audio Link interfaces, this device can be installed directly in the studio as well as on

stream to greater distances (with a single RJ45 cable). This enables you to separate a recording studio
from a closed and acoustically insulated director’s room in which the Reckeen Studio 3D or Lite station
is installed. The sound transferred digitally from ADB 100 device through RJ 45 connector maintains
the highest quality and avoids noise. An advanced but easy-to-manage application integrated with the
Reckeen Virtual 3D Studio & Lite enables precise control over ADB 100 device. Intuitive operation and
signals routing make this preamp extremely flexible and performing well with many types of recordings
