A5

High-performance standalone analog-to-digital converter.

A focused 24-bit / 192 kHz ADC for recording, archiving, mastering and measurement — designed to provide a clean, independent analog-to-digital path without drivers, software or unnecessary processing.

Amiteque A5 standalone analog-to-digital converter
Overview

One job. Done properly.

The A5 is built for situations where the quality of the analog-to-digital stage matters more than adding another software layer.

The A5 converts analog audio directly to S/PDIF and operates as a completely standalone piece of hardware. There are no drivers to install and no host computer required.

It can be used as a dedicated capture front end for analog sources, an alternative to the converter built into an existing interface or recorder, or as a precision ADC for bench and measurement work.

Standalone operationDirect analog-to-S/PDIF conversion without a computer.
High-resolution conversionUp to 24-bit / 192 kHz PCM.
Flexible analog inputBalanced and unbalanced source compatibility.
Purpose-built architectureFocused on conversion quality rather than feature count.

Applications

Where the A5 fits.

Analog recording chains

Capture the output of analog mixers, preamps, processors, synthesizers, drum machines and other outboard hardware through a dedicated conversion stage.

Archiving

Digitize vinyl, cassette and reel-to-reel sources at high resolution with a simple standalone signal path.

Mastering & mix capture

Convert the final analog stereo mix back to digital without relying on the ADC built into another interface.

Measurement & service

Use the A5 as a precision front end for audio analysis, equipment testing and engineering work.
