SPL Mercury (Red)
UPC/EAN #4260149322142
MPN #1734
The Mercury is high-end reference DAC for professionals in mastering and recording.
It features the latest 32 bit technology with sample rates of up to 768kHz. The DAC is also capable of converting Direct Stream Digital up to DSD512, also known as DSD4.The highest resolutions are possible using the USB port. Three connectors are provided for AES/EBU inputs allowing the second AES input to be used in a "Dual-Wire" application to convert signals of up to 384kHz via AES. All in all Mercury offers seven discrete digital inputs that are directly selectable by individual buttons on the front panel.
A specialty of Mercury are the eight selectable reference levels that allow to precisely set the matching levels for 0dBfs (full scale) ranging from 14dBu to 24dBu covering all studio and broadcast standards worldwide. All eight reference levels are set in the analog domain using a relay switch network!
Mercury features fixed and variable stereo outputs. The fixed output is best used if further processing of the unaltered signal is desired whereas the variable output can be used to adopt the level to a processing chain or to drive a monitoring/playback system directly.
The quality of the superb DAC chip is improved by processing the signal in SPLs proprietary 120V audio rail technology. The analog signal is "born" into a world of unprecedented headroom giving Mercury the transparent, precise and relaxed sound that SPL customers associate with the 120V technology.
