Benchmark ADC16 A/D Audio Converter at a Glance:

• Flexible I/O
  
• Ready to integrate with your DAW
  
• Consistent performance

Flexible I/O
A large selection of I/O makes the Benchmark ADC16 perfect for studio use. Dual DB-25 inputs give you 16-channels of analog audio input. Optical, AES, and coax gives you up to 16 channels of digital inputs. The optical outputs can be operated in S/PDIF or ADAT modes with sample rates up to 192kHz.

Ready to integrate with your DAW
Benchmark designed the ADC16 to be ready for any DAW. With a selection of AES, coaxial, and optical inputs the ADC16 is compatible with most interfaces on the market. You can even use optical ADAT and coaxial inputs with the ADC16. An optional FireWire card lets you use the Benchmark ADC16 directly, eliminating the need for other hardware.

Consistent performance
The Benchmark ADC16's UltraLockDDS clock system utilizes the latest low-jitter clock technology. Jitter-induced artifacts and distortion are well below listening ranges thanks to the rock-solid clock.
