Soundcraft 5019847 AES/EBU IN-OUT Board 1-16 CH

Soundcraft 5019847 AES/EBU IN-OUT Board 1-16 CH

The Soundcraft 5019847 is a professional-grade digital audio interface card designed for integrating AES/EBU signals into large-format mixing consoles and compatible Soundcraft platforms. This is essential infrastructure for studios and facilities that demand transparent, clock-locked digital audio distribution across multiple channels without latency or signal degradation. Setup and configuration are straightforward via jumper-based settings, making integration reliable and repeatable across complex system installations.

Digital I/O Architecture

This board provides 16 channels of AES/EBU input and 16 channels of AES/EBU output, enabling bidirectional digital audio transport at professional sample rates. The onboard Sample Rate Converters (SRCs) automatically detect and adapt to incoming AES/EBU signal clock rates, eliminating sync errors and the need for manual clock management when tracking, mixing, or interfacing with external mastering-chain devices and multi-device sessions.

Recording & Mix Integration

Output dither is selectable on every AES/EBU output channel, allowing you to optimize resolution at 24-bit, 20-bit, 18-bit, or 16-bit depths depending on your recording format, archive standard, or downstream processing chains. Jumper-based settings provide secure, non-volatile configuration that persists across power cycles, essential for session-to-session recall and maintaining consistent digital workflows in the studio.

Key Features

• 16 channels of AES/EBU digital audio input
