828M Anaconda 64 Channel Bi-Directional Digital Audio Snake System

(The 828M supercedes the 828.)

Building on the wide acceptance of the original Anaconda, Aphex’ new Model 828M is a point-to-point 64 channel bi-directional snake designed to easily and cost effectively connect digital or analog audio systems as a mic snake or a drive snake for industry standard preamplifiers, consoles, DAWs and recorders. The new Anaconda Model 828M features two MADI outputs as well as pass-through for digital audio at 96kHz sample rate via SMUX protocol. The Anaconda Model 828M is comprised of two identical units on either end of a long distance optical fiber run. There are eight ADAT optical inputs and outputs on each unit for local interfacing. Word clock is generated by an ultra-precision voltage-controlled crystal; external word clock is fed through one BNC terminated with 75 ; word clock distribution through eight BNCs; and one RJ-45 for control and metering/status feedback for products such as the Aphex 188 and 1788A mic preamplifiers. Each unit has two fiber transceivers with automatic failure switching for redundancy. The transceivers use industry standard SC connectors for use with low cost, readily available multimode fiber. Two internal power supplies automatically switch if one fails. The units are designed to be mounted in the rear of a rack for ease of connection and space efficiency.
Anaconda Features:
  • 8 ADAT inputs and outputs (64 channel bi-directional)
  • 2 MADI outputs on BNC
  • Word Clock outputs on BNC
  • Internal ultra-precision crystal generated word clock
  • External word clock reference input
  • Redundant transceivers for two separate fiber runs
  • Low latency (<50μsec) Easily interfaced with Aphex 1788A remote controlled preamps and digital consoles, DAWs and recorders
  • Industry standard SC or ST connectors and multimode fiber (single mode optional)
  • RJ-45 connectors for Ethernet control and metering of Aphex 188, 1788A, or any other equipment / firmware updates
  • Redundant switch-mode power supplies work from 85 to 264VAC

New VARI-RACK variable depth, thin frame rack system

Lowell’s new variable depth, ‘thin frame’ VARI-RACK system ships knocked down for freight savings. Bases are engineered for on-the-spot depth adjustment from 20” to 28” (Series LVR2028) or for shallow applications; Series LVR1421 adjusts from 14” to 21”. The narrow 19.214”W frame uses minimal space and is engineered for easy assembly and mounting of 19”W equipment in freestanding or built-in uses. Models support up to 400lbs and offer the added benefit of mounting 19”W fan, vent or closure panels into the top or bottom when the frame is fully expanded. Frames feature robust 11 gauge corner-post mounting rails tapped 10-32 with printed rack units and are available in 8-44RU heights. Optional accessories include side panels in 20” and 26” depths, and a companion solid front door and rear closure panel for use with side panels. Find out more about VARI-RACK and Lowell’s other Integrator friendly Rack, Power and Audio products at www.lowellmfg.com.

Vari-Rack: variable depth, thin-frame rack
  • Frame measures 19.214"W for mounting 19"W rackmount equipment.
  • When expanded, exposed area in top and bottom supports 19"EIA panels/equipment.
  • Frames can be adjusted in-range or pinned at 1RU (1.75") increments.
  • 400 lb. load capacity
  • Model heights up to 44RU with 11 gauge numbered mounting rails that may be field-cut to size in 1RU increments.
  • Knockdown package allows cost effective (UPS) shipment of two boxes (one box holds rack top, bottom, and hardware; other box contains 2 rails).
  • Printed scale on top / bottom for fast, easy set-up. Measurements are in RU, metric and imperial units.*
