Tascam IF-DA8
TDIF-1 to Analog Format Converter

IF-DA8

The IF-DA8 is an eight channel TDIF to Analogue converter with two TDIF ports. This dual port design allows the box to act as either the end of a chain, providing an analogue output to a TDIF line, or it can be connected between two TDIF devices, allowing them to communicate to each other freely, yet split off an analogue copy of one device's signal. The IF-DA8 was built with extremely high quality converters for the best sound quality possible, and offers multiple 0dB reference levels for optimal interconnecting with virtually any equipment. A separate word sync in and thru are provided for integration with larger digital chains with central clock distributors.



Main features
