Take the 2408mk3 Expansion I/O and add it to any PCI-424 compatible
"Core" system and you're adding more analog and digital inputs and
outputs than you can shake a stick at! The 2408 MK3 expansion I/O is
the very same interface that you get with the 2408 MK3 Core system
without the PCI-424 card.
Connect up to 4 2408mk3 interfaces for 96-channel I/O
A core 2408mk3 system provides 24 inputs and outputs, but it also
offers the most expansion ever offered in a single PCI card. Up to four
interfaces can be connected to the PCI-424 for up to 96 channels of
simultaneous input and output at sample rates up to 96kHz.
One interface provides 7 banks of I/O
The 1U rack-mountable 2408mk3 provides seven banks of I/O: one bank of
24-bit/96kHz analog on balanced TRS connectors, three banks of 96kHz
ADAT optical, three banks of 96kHz TASCAM TDIF, plus stereo S/PDIF. You
can choose any three banks (up to 24 channels) to be active at one
time. This means you can use each 2408mk3 hook up three ADATs, three
DA-88s, and eight analog devices all at the same time and access any
three banks - in any combination of formats. And you can freely switch
formats at any time.
Connect ADAT decks, DA-88s and analog simultaneously
Think about the possibilities: with the 2408mk3 you could connect 12
ADATs and 12 DA-88s to your computer, along with 32 channels of analog
I/O, and simultaneously record and play as many tracks of audio as your
computer allows. If you have a digital mixer, the 2408mk3 provides up
to 96 channels of digital I/O at 44.1 or 48kHz, and 48 channels at 88.2
or 96kHz.
