The RADAR approach to sound
While other systems focus on processing to compensate and for the sound of your tracks, RADAR takes a different approach. Our secret formula? Make sure the signal enters and leaves the machine with as few digital fingerprints as possible. Over 25 years of input from the industry’s most respected professionals tells us that our formula is working.
RADAR Converter Chassis
A new interface design that brings the sound of RADAR to modern studio and networked audio applications. Each Half-U frame can hold two Classic, Ultra-Nyquist or vintage sound cards for up to 16 I/O. Multiple frames can be connected together for up to 128 I/O at 48 kHz.
Connect using Dante Virtual Sound Card software, PCIeR cards, or HD bridge devices.
Compatible with 8 I/O cards from RADAR II, 24, V, 6, and Studio as well as both ADA models.
Features:
- A scalable interface that combines RADAR analog cards and Dante® connectivity.
- Each Half-U frame can hold two Classic, Ultra-Nyquist or vintage sound cards for up to 16 I/O. Additional units can be linked for up to 256 I/O.
- A single interface can be connected through a standard Ethernet port using Dante Virtual Soundcard software.
- For high channel counts, and lower latency, connect using third-party PCIeR cards, thunderbolt expansion boxes, or HD bridge devices.
- The sample rate and routing are set using Dante Controller software.
The Optional Cards
RADAR Classic 96 kHz Sound Card
RADAR Classic 96 analog cards maintain the high-quality, signature RADAR sound without compromising disk space. Never harsh or biting, Classic 96 converter cards are optimized to bring 8 I/O of clear, transparent sound to rock and live recording applications. The Classic 96 delivers the same warmth, bottom end, and performance characteristics as the historic Classic analog I/O cards, but with the sample rate range extended up to 96 kHz.
Dynamic Range: 24 bit mode 100.5 dB A-weighted, 16 bit mode, 96 dB A-weighted
THD+N @ 1 kHz: Less then .006% A-weighted
Frequency Response: 10-22kHz +/-.5 dB at 44.1 or 48 kHz, 10-45kHz +/-3 dB at 96 kHz
Sample Rates: 32, 44.056, 44.1, 47.952, 48, 64, 88.2, 96 kHz
RADAR Ultra-Nyquist 192 kHz Sound Card
Ultra-Nyquist analog cards deliver the most pristine and euphonic conversion of any 8 I/O card RADAR has ever produced. With lower noise and distortion than even the famed S-Nyquist (192 kHz) and Nyquist (96 kHz) designs, Ultra-Nyquist sound cards will lift the blanket off any mix. Characterized by rich, warm tones, incredible presence and crystal clear highs, the Ultra Nyquist converters preserve audio integrity by providing the highest fidelity conversion possible on any recording.
Dynamic Range: 24 bit mode 108 dB A-weighted, 16 bit mode 96 dB A-weighted
THD+N @ 1 kHz: 0.5 dB below full scale, less than .006% A-weighted
Frequency Response: 10-22kHz +/-.5 dB at 44.1 or 48 kHz, 10-45kHz +/-3 dB at 96 kHz, 10-80kHz +/-3 dB at 192 kHz
Sample Rates: 32, 44.056, 44.1, 47.952, 48, 64, 88.112, 88.2, 95.904, 96, 128, 176.224, 176.4, 191.808, 192 kHz
