192 Expansion Cards
Are 192i/o AD expansion cards *EXACTLY* identical to the "stock" analog inputs of a 192i/o? In other words, are the electronics and AD converter of these expansion cards the same as the analog inputs that come with the 192i/o?
Also, power supply wise, is it better to run 2 192i/o's, or will one 192 with an expansion card work just as well if my goal is to have 16 analog inputs? I know power supplies - and how hard they have to work - can have a big impact on audio quality. Many Thanks, Martin |

Re: 192 Expansion Cards
Martin,
Yes, I added the AD card to give 8 additional inputs on my 192 to give 16 ins and 8 outputs. The 8 extra appear in the hardware section as channel 9-16 and you can adjust them the same as channels 1-8. All sound the same. Can't comment on the power supply, but would be surprised if Digi compromised their flagship convertor in any way, by saving a few $s in the power supply. From reading the equipment logs in various studios, adding an extra AD card is quite common and is recommended by Digi. What I would like is to be able to remove the digital card and replace it with a 8 DA card to give the extra analogue outputs. But heard that there is some hard or soft wiring which stops this ? Digi, please comment, could this be possible ? regards Scotsman |

Re: 192 Expansion Cards
Thanks, confirmed what I had heard.
If you could fix this communication problem (ie a software revision upgrade?) then would imagine that there would be many like me who would buy that extra card, in a flash. Does that temp the marketing & R&D team ? regards Scotsman |

Re: 192 Expansion Cards
I wanted to get 16 analog I/O out of my 192 as well and the only way I found it was possible was to add a Rosetta 800 It was about $700.00 more than the cost of 2 (A/D-D/A) cards but still cheaper than buying another 192.

It's actually pretty convenient, though, if you're looking for a 24 I/O setup...two 192's, one A/D and one D/A card... -Duardo |
