Overview
Angry Audio U.192 USB Audio Interface
The U.192 is the result of a collaboration between Maxxkonnect and Angry Audio. So it’s built for the harsh realities of 24/7 broadcasting. It’s constructed from steel with an internal power supply and the circuitry is designed for durability and RFI immunity. Yes, it is more expensive than that cheap sound card that might or might not work. But we’re pretty sure you’ll agree it’s worth it.
You bought StereoTool. Great choice! You’ve installed it on your host computer and now you’re ready to drive your transmitter. Ah, but your transmitter has a composite input. Don’t worry though. Just jump on the StereoTool forum to see how others are doing this. Oh! They’re using ordinary analog sound cards and interfaces and comparing which ones work and don’t work for composite. Huh?
With trial and error, you search out sound cards or audio interfaces with sufficient bandwidth and voltage to pass composite audio, even though no sound cards are made specifically for this. You might need to add an amplifier after the output and you’ll certainly need to find a way to feed the unbalanced BNC input with adapters (careful not to short out one side of the balanced output).
Ready to put an end to this science experiment and go pro? The U.192 takes the hassle out of getting high-quality audio from StereoTool (and other software-based processors) into the transmission chain. Purpose-built for the job, this little box packs a punch with all the inputs and outputs you need. Just plug it in and it works.
For those with more sophisticated transmitters, the U.192 can deliver digital composite (AES192) too! Or you can use it like a high-end sound card and send baseband audio out of the digital AES/EBU output port and the analog output port. Just choose audio instead of composite outputs in StereoTool and switch the front panel switch to Analog. Easy.
And U.192 is also your input to StereoTool. Drive it with a digital audio source and the U.192 will sample rate convert anything from 32kHz to 192kHz before sending it to StereoTool. Or use the analog input, with its impressive 24-bit resolution and 112dB of dynamic range.
- Stereo Analog Inputs and Outputs on StudioHub+ RJ45 connector. Capable of levels up to +24dBu. High performance ADC and DAC deliver over 112dB of dynamic range.
- Digital AES/EBU inputs and outputs on StudioHub+ RJ45 connectors. Transformer isolated. Input can accommodate sample rates from 32kHz-192kHz. Input and Output can accompodate 192kHz.
- Analog MPX (composite) output on BNC connectors.
- Supports digital MPX Composite Baseband Over AES.
- Front panel switch selects analog or digital input. Another front panel switch chooses stereo analog or MPX output.
- Front panel signal LEDs so you can see at a glance that the outputs are active.
- Built-in AC-DC power supply (no wall wart). Powder-coated steel enclosure. Broadcast-grade design for 24/7 operation.
- Connects to your host PC using standard USB cable.
