Optx v2

ADAT Optical Converter

Next generation ADAT conversion
Optx v2 is a pro-quality ADAT lightpipe converter for eurorack modular synthesizers. The DC-coupled module can encode and decode audio signals with extremely low noise, and CV signals with near-zero offset. Additionally, on-board sample clock allows for one-way ADAT output and the ability to be used standalone to interconnect eurorack systems.

Features
- Bi-directional ADAT lightpipe encoding/decoding of 8 analog inputs/outputs
- Switchable input mode (in pairs) powered by high-performance Cirrus Logic converters
- AUDIO input mode ensures the highest fidelity possible with ultra-low noise
- Self-calibrating CV input mode provides exceptional accuracy and near-zero offset (DC-coupled)
- Precision DC-coupled outputs support both audio and CV signals
- Internal sample clock permits one-way operation without ADAT input and standalone interconnection of two Optx modules
- Dual LEDs on each output indicate signal strength and polarity
