Datanoise – OctaWave”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
ADAT to 8 analog DC-coupled OUT<\/div>\n
\n

The OctaWave is a portable ADAT to analog, high-quality audio converter with 8 3.5mm mono jack outputs.<\/p>\n

The OctaWave is the perfect partner for your audio interface with ADAT outputs. It uses USB Type-C as power connector (with power filtering) and can even be powered by a powerbank. Add an MCHstreamer, for example, and you have a portable 8-channel audio interface!<\/p>\n

With superb DA conversion to 24-bit audio at 44\/48 kHz, with -120 dB signal-to-noise ratio and 112 dB dynamic range, you’ll get a high-quality audio output for your creative projects. Use it for your live performance setup, a four deck DJ setup, or to control your modular setup! Since the outputs are DC-coupled, you can output CV, trigger and gate signals from the 8 outputs. Just note that the range of the outputs is about +\/- 3.063V DC and external amplification is needed if stronger triggers\/gates are required. You can offset the voltage in your Eurorack system to achieve about 5 octaves of tracking.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • ADAT Lightpipe Input (Optical)<\/li>\n
    • USB Type-C for Power Supply (with power filtering)<\/li>\n
    • 24-bit Audio at 44\/48kHz<\/li>\n
    • Low-jitter (< 1.3ns) PLL<\/li>\n
    • -120dB* noise floor<\/li>\n
    • 112dB* Dynamic Range<\/li>\n
    • DC-coupled outputs with 6V Peak-to-Peak** (+\/- 3.06V) suitable for CV Output<\/li>\n
    • Linear Frequency Response (0.1dB non-linearity typical)<\/li>\n
    • 8x 3.5mm Jacks (mono, mechanically stereo for more stability) with 2.1V RMS output level, DC-coupled, suited for Eurorack control signals and high-quality audio<\/li>\n
    • Low-power (100-120mA @ 5V)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      * The actual dynamic range and noise floor depends on the quality of the USB-C power supply etc.<\/p>\n

      Usecases<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Adding 8 or more outputs (with mutliple OctaWave) to your ADAT setup<\/li>\n
      • USB Audio 8ch Interface setup using MCHstreamer<\/li>\n
      • Up to 32 channels audio with RME Digiface and 4x OctaWave<\/li>\n
      • Live Performance Setups (with FX chains etc.)<\/li>\n
      • Analog Mixing w\/ DAW<\/li>\n
      • DJ Setups (a 4 deck setup with 2 stereo outputs each)<\/li>\n
      • Quadrophonic \/ 5.1 \/ 7.1 \/ Surround Sound setups \/ mixing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Setup instructions<\/h2>\n
          \n
        • Connect your ADAT output (e.g. from your Audio Interface, such as RME Digiface, MiniDSP MCHstreamer) with an optical cable to the ADAT input of the Octawave<\/li>\n
        • Make sure your Audio Interface is running at 44\/48kHz Sample Rate. Sample Rates above 48kHz are not officially supported. Using 96kHz will result in only 4 audio outputs being available due to limitations of ADAT.<\/li>\n
        • Power the OctaWave DAC via USB Type-C. You can use a power bank (make sure it doesn\u2019t shut down with too low power consumption), a 500mA USB Power Supply or connect it straigt to your computer. For lowest noise and best performance, we recommend using a brickwall adapter.<\/li>\n
        • Connect your outputs to your gear (mixer, effects, ..)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Control Voltage (CV) Output<\/h2>\n

          The OctaWave has DC-coupled outputs which can be used to send control voltage to Modular Synthesizers. The voltage outputs is around +\/- 3.063V DC rail-to-rail. You can offset the voltage in your eurorack system to achieve around 5 octaves tracking or use an attenuverter to scale it to +\/- 5v or 0-10v.<\/p>\n

          Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n

          Link LED is not lit?
          \n\u2013 Check if your ADAT output is wired correctly. The port should be glowing red.
          \n\u2013 Check if your sample rate is correct<\/p>\n

          Power LED not lit?
          \n\u2013 Check if the Power Supply is connected or if the plug is correctly inserted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
