Precision Digital Audio Synchronization Distribution

The Evertz 500ADA-W is a dedicated 1x9 SDIF-2 Word Clock distribution amplifier built to split and buffer master clock reference signals across digital audio infrastructure. Designed for recording studios, broadcast master control, and post-production environments, it distributes clean timing references to up to 9 digital audio devices without signal degradation or loading effects.

Flexible Input Options & Level Control

• Input Impedance Flexibility: Jumper-selectable $75\ \Omega$ or high-impedance input allows the card to serve as a terminated end-point or a high-impedance bridge across clock reference lines.
• Continuous Gain Trim: Built-in voltage gain control ($-6\text{ dB}$ to $+6\text{ dB}$) enables precise signal amplitude restoration to compensate for coaxial cable attenuation.
• Broad Frequency Coverage: Works seamlessly across standard digital audio clock frequencies from $28\text{ kHz}$ to $100\text{ kHz}$ (covering $32\text{ kHz}$, $44.1\text{ kHz}$, $48\text{ kHz}$, and $96\text{ kHz}$ sample rates).

High-Density Rack Architecture

The 500ADA-W occupies a single slot in the 3RU Evertz 500FR frame, enabling up to 16 modules per chassis for up to 144 distributed Word Clock outputs in 3RU. Card-edge LEDs provide quick visual feedback for module health and power status.
