As the popularity of the ADAT optical 8-channel digital interface has grown, PCI soundcards have appeared to transfer this audio into and out of computers. However, Sonorus's STUDI/O has two optical connectors, permitting 16-channel operation. MARTIN WALKER makes light work of his optical cables.

Many manufacturers are adopting the ADAT-style digital interface as an ideal way to move multiple channels of audio around the studio, primarily because it allows eight channels of simultaneous audio to travel down a single optical cable (and also completely removes any possibility of hum loops). Computer soundcards are ideal candidates for this, but if you already have an ADAT machine, there are more benefits to be had. The beauty of partnering a soundcard with an ADAT machine is that not only can you transfer multichannel tape recordings 'en masse' to the computer, but the overall cost of the soundcard is kept down by using the existing eight sets of ADAT A-D and D-A converters.

We have already reviewed the Frontier Design WaveCenter card (SOS July '98), and the Korg 1212 (July '97), both of which feature a single pair (one in and one out) of ADAT-compatible Toslink optical connectors. The Sonorus STUDI/O takes things a step further with two pairs of ADAT sockets. Both inputs and outputs can be independently mapped as a total of either 16 mono devices, eight stereo devices, two eight-channel devices, or a single 16-channel device.

The hardware looks strangely similar to the soundcard supplied with the Creamware TDAT 16 (reviewed SOS Feb '98), although this package comes as a complete system with proprietary software, and is likely to appeal to a different type of musician.

To provide more versatility, each of the two 8-channel ADAT I/O channels can be switched via software to act in S/PDIF mode, with sample rate conversion also available. The internal architecture of the STUDI/O will support up to 24-bit data, and an 18-bit D/A converter is provided for monitoring purposes.

BACKPLATE OPTION

For an extra £116, the STUDI/O-Sync Backplate adds twin BNC sockets for Wordclock In and Out, along with a
9-pin ADAT sync input that reads timecode. It connects internally to the STUDI/O card using a ribbon cable, but uses no extra system IRQs or system resources (although it will of course prevent an expansion card being used where the backplate is situated). Drivers are provided which then allow you to directly read timecode from an ADAT and have it translated to MIDI Time Code -- this avoids having to use special hardware. A Punch I/O control panel (PC only) allows you record and play between ADAT and computer with sample accuracy (with compatible software).196

New York, NY — Sonorus, Inc. has announced the introduction of the STUDI/O-Sync Backplate for use with STUDI/OTM, the company’s 16-channel digital audio interface for Windows 95-based and Macintosh personal computers. The STUDI/O-Sync Backplate provides STUDI/O card users with Word Clock in and out, and ADAT timecode input, as well as MIDI timecode input.
The STUDI/O card allows recording engineers and home studio owners to input/output 16 channels of digital audio in parallel from the PC to a pair of Alesis ADATs using standard fiber-optic cables. The supplied software drivers are compatible with existing Windows audio devices, so STUDI/O works with most Windows-based DAW editing software, including Cakewalk Pro Audio, CoolEdit Pro, Cubase VST 3.5, GoldWave, Samplitude, SAW Plus, Sound Forge, WaveLab, and others.

The STUDI/O card includes two 8-channel Alesis ADAT optical interfaces and an 18-bit stereo analog monitor output. For mastering applications, one of both ADAT interfaces can be software-configured for optical SPDIF input and/or output, including sample rate conversion, for connection to DAT machines or high-performance converters.

With the addition of Word Clock in & out, ADAT timecode input and MIDI timecode input via STUDI/O-Sync, several additional applications are available to STUDI/O card users. With Word Clock in, the

STUDI/O card can be synchronized within a professional digital studio environment to a master clock generator. STUDI/O-Sync can also be utilized as the master clock generator via Word Clock out, sending its high quality clock to the Alesis BRC or other devices. With ADAT timecode input and the supplied tray application, PUNCH I/O, Windows audio application can perform sample accurate playback and recording. Additionally, frame-accurate punch-ins for programs that sync to MIDI timecode are now possible via the MIDI driver.

The STUDI/O-Sync Backplate uses one PC slot or can be dissembled and attached on the computer cases’s DB9 & DB25 slugs. It is Windows and Mac compatible. Suggested retail price for STUDI/O-Sync from Sonorus, Inc. is $150.00. more info : sync backplate: http://www.sonorus.com/press3.html

Any idea if the final 1.29 Win2k drivers will work with XP?

Also, I installed this card on a Win2k box to use with a Creamware A16.  Cakewalk PA9 wouldn't cooperate with channels 9-16. It seems to work OK with v8. Kristal would only work with 8 stereo pairs.
