Hello,
it is not the badest idea to open a new thread for discussing the mainboard for the AD/DA-Box, is it?
So here we go.
First of all the output connectors. The idea is to use D-SUB25 (Tascam-Format) for the analog i/o. IMHO this is the most economic solution for up to 64 i/o. But I know there will always be somebody how only needs 8 i/o but via 6.35mm balanced jacks or wants to connect the XLR of a microphone directly. Therefore, the DSUBs are placed on a break-away part of the pcb and connected by IDC cable/socket combination. If you want to use another connector then DSUB just remove that small pcb part and connect your favourite connector via the IDC socket (replacement boards with XLRs or Jacks can also be made).
Remark: I think if you look carefully on some pictures flying around on the internet from the Metric Halo LIO insight you can see a similar solution.
On the mainboard itself the modules are plugged into sockets that are connected to the front-end IDCs for I/O.
I attached a drawing of this. There is also some RFI filtering and a jumper for shield-to-ground connection on the break-away part.
Any thoughts about it?
