The SPL converter module 2053 is exclusively offered as optional equipment for the SPL Channel One and SPL Kultube (8/2003).
In contrast to common digital outputs, the 2053 comprises separate A/D and D/A converter
stages. Using both converter stages offers two essential advantages:
High-quality monitoring in 24 Bit/96 kHz quality and simultaneous A/D conversion

Analog processing of a digital signal
The converter supports wordwidths up to 24 Bits and sample rates of up to 96 kHz.
The D/A converter processes up to 24 Bits automatically,as well as sample rates from 32 Bit to
96 kHz and is equipped with high-quality, balanced XLR outputs (+12 dBu).
The A/D converter supports 16 and 24 Bit formats.
Dithering is employed for the reduction from 24 Bit to 16 Bit „missing” lower 8 Bit is
not cut off, but rather „included” in the 16 Bit format. This ensures that quietest passages are preserved.

Internal Synchronization
The converter module allows to choose 5 different clock sources via the AD MODE switch. The
internal sample rates (96 kHz/48 kHz and 88.2 kHz/44.1 kHz) are quartz-generated.

External Synchronization
For synchronization with external sources, AESdata or Word-Clock signals can be used as sync
sources. Alternatively the A/D converter can be synchronized to the data adjacent to the D/A
converter.

A/D Converter features
▪ Wordwidth 24 Bit
▪ Reduced Wordwidth 16 Bit
▪ Dither triangular
▪ Internal sample rates 44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz
▪ External sample rates 32-96 kHz
▪ Sync sources AES11 or word clock
▪ THD+N @-1dBFs, 1kHz <-101 dB
▪ Dynamic range (A) 110 dB

D/A Converter features
▪ Wordwidth 24 Bit
▪ Sample rates 32-96 kHz
▪ THD+N (@-1dBFs, 1kHz) <-90 dB
▪ Dynamic range 105 dB (A, Q 96kHz)

Monitoring in 24Bit/ 96kHz
A high standard of monitoring is necessary for judging the recording quality.
The A/D converter stage is equipped with highquality components and ensures excellent tonal results.
We recommend using the SPL converter for high-quality monitoring.

Analog processing of a digital signal
Together with the converter module, Channel One and Kultube can entirely be inserted into a digital chain for highquality analog processings.
