Introduction User’s Guide Introduction The Lucid 88192 A/D D/A Converter features eight channels of analog input and output at internal sampling rates of up to 192 kHz, while simultaneously routing 8 channels of AES/EBU and 8 channels of SMUX2 ADAT digital audio to and from the host system.
Hardware 88192 A/D D/A Converter SYSTEM Nominal Sample Rates 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192 kHz Sample Sync Range 30-200 kHz +/- 100 ppm Dynamic Range Analog (A/D and D/A): > 115 dB (20 Hz to 20 kHz, A-weighted) Digital: > 144 dB (SRC off) Frequency Response 20 Hz - 40 kHz @ sampling rates > 88 kHz (+/- 1.
Rear Panel User’s Guide REAR PANEL ITEM DESCRIPTION DETAILS POWER INPUT IEC 3 prong jack Accepts power from detachable IEC power cable (100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 45 Watts max). Connect only to a grounded power outlet. RS-232 Female DB9 Factory use only. ADAT I/O 4 x TOSLINK Digital inputs and outputs 1-8 in ADAT format on TOSLINK connectors. One TOSLINK pair handles up to 50 kHz sample rates, both pairs handle sample rates from 50-100 kHz in SMUX2 mode.
Hardware Connections 88192 A/D D/A Converter Hardware Connections POWER: Connect the IEC connector side of the supplied AC cord to the receptacle on the rear of the 88192. Connect the other side of the AC cable to an AC power source that is of the correct voltage and frequency (100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz). Use only the power cord and connector specified for the product and your operating locale. Don’t forget to switch the power on, it will be the first question tech support asks of you if you call.
Basic Setup User’s Guide Basic Setup - Illustration Pressing the “exit” button while turning the encoder clockwise will enable the screen lock function. While in screen lock, no menus may be navigated and no parameters may be changed. To exit screen lock, hold the “exit” button while turning the encoder counter-clockwise. The following illustration details the connections (for option 1 digital connections) in a visual format.
Basic Setup 88192 A/D D/A Converter 8. Rotate the encoder to adjust the input gain for the selected input (1). The gain is adjusted in real time. 9. Push the encoder when finished to deselect the input. Basic Setup - Conclusion This concludes the basic setup. If you have followed the previous Basic Setup sections completely, you should have the correct hardware connections and the 88192 should be set up correctly.
Applications User’s Guide 88192 with the Digidesign 001/002 To ANALOG INPUTS Optical (Toslink) Cables From ANALOG OUTPUTS 88192 Setup Digidesign 001/002 Setup 1. In the “Route” menu, ensure that “Analog INs ADAT OUTs” and “ADAT INs Analog OUTs” are both shown. 1. In the Pro Tools software, open the “Hardware Setup” and set the “Clock Source” to “ADAT”. 2. In the “Sync” menu, select the desired internal sample rate. NOTE: the 001/002 hardware’s ADAT I/O only supports sample rates up to 48 kHz.

Advanced Features User’s Guide Advanced Features NOTE 2: The Sync menu will display the incoming sync rate and the lock status. This can be very useful for diagnostics! The locked status, sample rate and sync source are also visible on the main status screen (see Appendix A, menu level 1). It is inevitable you will come across a setup which does not fit into the examples detailed within the Basic Setup or example Applications sections. For those cases, the 88192 has a few deeper settings to accommodate.

Wiring Reference User’s Guide Balanced Connections NOTE: In the case of an XLR connector, the Female attaches to an output, while the Male attaches to an input. Any of these connectors can appear on either side of a balanced connection. Euroblock [balanced] Terminal Strip [balanced] Tip = (+) Plus Ring = (–) Minus Sleeve = Ground NOTE: Detachable Euroblock and Terminal Strip connectors are designed for use with bare wire. Do not tin stranded wires before inserting them into the connectors.
Wiring Reference 88192 A/D D/A Converter Unbalanced Connections: In this example, the unbalanced connector is sending signal to a balanced connector. When wiring this connection, use a shielded twisted pair cable. The balanced side wires the same as a standard, balanced connection. On the unbalanced side, you wire the white (minus) wire together with the ground. This provides some common mode rejection at the balanced input.
