AUBION X.8 Professional 8-Channel Data Acquisition System
The AUBION X.8 is a professional multi-channel audio AD/DA converter with integrated microphone amplifiers and real-time transport for eight Mic/Line/SPDIF input ports and four Line/SPDIF output ports via a conventional Ethernet network from and to your PC.
Fields of application are electronic and room-acoustic measurements at multiple locations, designing and testing loudspeakers or commissioning sound systems.
Please note!
Dear customers, we have suspended production of the Aubion until further notice. The reason for this is that the system needs to be revised in some features. We first have to check the scope of the redesign and what quantities we can expect afterwards.
Please do not hesitate to give us your comments regarding technical features and possible purchase quantities at sales@dspecialists.de.
Fully integrated over Ethernet
Two fast Gigabit network interfaces with integrated network switches provide extremely simple cabling even across distances of up to 100 metres with standard CAT5e cables.
Half-rack case allows portable use
The unit is housed in a rugged half-rack case that can be mounted into a 19" rack. The very robust and compact construction also allows mobile use. It fits into every laptop bag and weighs only 1.8 kg.
SysTune & EASERA support
In combination with measuring software tools from AFMG (e.g. EASERA, Systune) the X.8 is a measurement device for high-precision acoustic measurements.
