AUTOGRAM INTRODUCES AUDIOBRIDGE
Tempe, AZ March 25th, 2008 — Orban, a worldwide leader in audio processing for AM, FM, TV, and Internet broadcasting, today introduced the Autogram AudioBridge. The AudioBridge features a multi-format audio interface with analog, AES/EBU, USB 2.0 and IP Audio connectivity. Each input can be routed to virtually any output.
The AudioBridge features high resolution 24-bit analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion with selectable conversion rates up to 192k samples per second. CobraNet IP audio allows real-time, high quality digital audio transmission over an Ethernet network. Other IP Audio standards will be available soon.
The AudioBridge's USB port supports streaming audio to or from Windows or Mac PCs. Unlike the many other USB audio implementations that suffer from inter-channel delay, AudioBridge has correct inter-channel clocking that achieves perfect time alignment and phase. It uses the Microsoft Windows XP USB Audio Driver, so there is no extra driver to install. Its AES/EBU output can be synched to an external AES-11 digital audio reference signal or to the AES/EBU input. The AudioBridge offers a high quality integral headphone amp to monitor any source and a simple, intuitive menu interface for configuration and status information, all in a compact 1U rack mountable chassis. The AudioBridge will be on display at The National Association of Broadcasters Convention in Las Vegas April 14th-17th, 2008 in Orban booth #N8536.
