Product Overview
Convert AES3 audio files to or from any other format at arbitrary sample rates between 44.1 and 192kHz with the FLX-AES3. It provides an impressive, fully transformer isolated, 16 channels of AES3 input and output with the ability to add any Appsys card (sold separately) to the AUX slot as an additional source or destination. The unit also features a selectable DB25 connector pinout for compatibility with Tascam or Yamaha gear (sold separately). A rear-panel FlexLink port enables connection with an MVR-64 Multiverter or another Flexiverter (both sold separately) to increase your bidirectional transfer capabilities up to 192 channels of audio, clock, and power. The included triple-redundant power supply ensures reliability, putting downtime consideration out of mind and making the FLX-AES3 the go-to solution for your AES3 file conversion needs.
