This is historical material !
To maintain functionality of valued backlinks from all over the world, we've decided to keep our 1997 to 2007 website intact. Archive information on the QUANCOR 12xx Series (Clock Distribution and Interface Converters), the legendary 1982 QRS, the 1987 QRS/XL, and the 1997 2402 Yardstick can still be found here.

Our current Yardstick 249x Room Simulators have been relocated to our active web site www.quantec.com

The 1205 SPDIF Zombie accommodates externally synchronizable equipment with a co-axial, electrical SPDIF/CP340 interface (»Cinch«).

This mostly means consumer DAT recorders, which are quite popular within the pro audio community. But beware: most DAT recorders lock perfectly to an external clock of 32, 44.1, or 48kHz while recording, but they completely ignore all external clocks during playback.

In plain English: in playback mode, external synchronization of consumer DATs is simply not available, consumer DATs must play the master role.

A single consumer DAT in playback mode slaves the entire studio to the DAT. If this is not applicable, or if several consumer DATs play back at once, use 1211 SPDIF&SRC Zombies.

In spite of their inherently limited word length of 16 bits, with appropriate add-ons (e.g. an 18 or 20-bit A/D converter with noise shaping to 16 bits), an astounding recording quality is achievable. - You don't believe it? - Life below LSB has been demonstrated !
