Crest Launches FB-88 IEEE-1394 audio interface

-Employing Digital Harmony™ DHIVA 1394 Technology, Crest Audio's FB-88 IEEE-1394 Audio Interface provides a new level of media routing -
Crest Audio is introducing the FB-88 IEEE 1394 (Firewire) Audio Interface box at this year's Winter NAMM Show. The FB-88 was co-developed with Digital Harmony Technologies, and is a state-of-the-art 24/96 ready, 8 x 8 audio I/O for IEEE-1394 audio interface.

The FB-88 can work with either PC or Macintosh computers (any program using ASIO or WDM drivers) and has two software-selectable operating modes, Analog and ADAT™. In Analog mode, the audio inputs are available as source ports with the optical output configured for SPDIF (available as a sync port) and the FB-88's analog audio outputs are available as sync ports. In ADAT mode, eight ADAT input channels are available as source ports with the optical output configured for ADAT output. The eight ADAT output channels are available as sync ports and the eight analog audio outputs mirror the eight ADAT output channels.

The FB-88 provides onboard near-zero latency monitoring of the 8 input audio source ports. The levels and panning of each of the audio source ports is selectable and the output trim on the monitor outputs is adjustable from +4dBu to ­10dBV. The FB-88 has a dynamic range of >110dB.

Inputs are XLR/1/4" combo jacks and the outputs are 1/4" TRS. Also included are word clock I/O and MIDI I/O. The FB-88 is 24-bit with variable sample rates up to 96kHz and provides a wide range of synchronization options including ADAT, Word Clock and 1394. The internal clock frequency can be selected (44.1k, 48k, 88.2k 96k).

The FB-88 is a standard 19" 2U high rackmount device that comes complete with ten-segment LED bar graph I/O metering for easy viewing.

Like all Crest Audio products, the new FB-88 is backed by Crest's exclusive five-year warranty.
