Introduction
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
SMUX

ADAT digital audio to and from the host system. Designed for
the rigors and complexities of today’s hi-definition digital recording
systems, the Lucid 88192 guarantees excellence in audio conversion
and management for recording, post-production, and broadcast
environments. The 88192 features the solid Lucid clock that technology
professionals in all walks of audio life have come to trust.
Capable of outputting the extremely low-jitter clock that controls the
A/D conversion process, it can also distribute the recovered clock from
an incoming digital stream. The ability to synchronize to almost any
device is guaranteed by a full suite of external sync options, including
word clock, AES sync, and ADAT digital input. External sampling
rates from 30 kHz to 200 kHz are supported. The 88192’s simple
user interface is designed for quick, efficient operation of all functions.
The rotary push-button encoder allows straightforward navigation,
and quick adjustment of routing, sampling rates, clock sources, gain
structure, and more. The easy-to-read Vacuum Fluorescent Display
(VFD) with wide viewing angle provides instant visual feedback of menu
items, metering and sync source. Lucid has employed state-of-the-art
DSP to control the functions in this unit while simplifying its operation.
The 88192 features an option port that will allow users to incorporate
new functions and capabilities as they become available.
Performance Data
Item DESCRIPTION DETAILS
INPUTS:
Nominal Input Level Analog: +4 dBu line level (with software adjustable gain) with 20
dB of headroom
Digital: -20 dBFS
NOTE: For unbalanced analog input, either refer ence the
minus input terminal to the signal source ground (pre ferred)
or ground the minus input to the adjacent ground terminal
(tie low to ground). Using the second method deprives you
of the common mode rejection inher ent in a balanced input,
even when coming from an unbalanced source.
Maximum Input Level Analog: +24 dBu
Digital: 0 dBFS
Input Impedance Analog: 20k Ohms balanced
Digital: 110 Ohms AES, +/- 10%
CMRR Analog: > 40 dB (+24 dBu @ 60 Hz and 1 kHz)
Analog to Digital Conversion 24-bit delta/sigma
OUTPUTS:
Nominal Output Level Analog: +4 dBu or -10 dBV (software selectable) line level with
20 dB of headroom Digital: -20 dBFS
NOTE: For unbalanced analog output, float (do not connect)
the minus output terminal. Unbalanced usage results in 6 dB
lower output level.
Maximum Output Level Analog: +24 dBu Digital: 0 dBFS
Output Impedance Analog: 204 Ohms balanced, 102 Ohms unbalanced Digital:
110 Ohms AES, +/- 10%
Digital to Analog Conversion 24-bit delta/sigma
