The AXAGON ADA-17 USB HQ audio MINI adapter easily and quickly adds an external USB sound card to your computer.
Perfect for your SR3D Basic, RCA, DIY Kit, or other stereo microphone for connecting to your computer.

STEREO INPUT - Be careful, not all USB external sound cards have a stereo input!

The installation can be handled even by a layman - only plug the adapter into the USB port of the computer and the rest is done automatically.

The miniature sound card is suitable for both desktop and laptop computers and allows stereo headphones, microphones or headsets to be connected for Skype service, for example. It also serves well as a replacement for the broken original sound card in your laptop.

The advantage of the ADA-17 USB DAC converter is, however, the high-quality 24-bit audio with up to 48 kHz sampling, both in playback and stereo recording e.g. from a mobile phone, MP3 player, or when digitizing recordings from the old magnetic tapes.

Outputs:
2-channel analogue 16/24-bit output (3.5 mm stereo jack):
stereo output for headphones or active speakers.

Inputs:
2-channel analogue 16 bit input (3.5 mm stereo jack):
stereo microphone input and input for recording analogue signal.

Sampling rate, resolution and output converter (DAC) noise:
• Analogue - 44.1 / 48 / 96 kHz @ 16 / 24 bit for playback,
• Signal-to-Noise ratio (Output SNR) ≥ 95 dB,
• harmonic distortion (Output THD + N) ≤ -85dB.

Sampling rate, resolution and input converter (ADC) noise:
• Analogue - 44.1 / 48 kHz @ 16 bit for recording,
• Signal-to-Noise ratio (input SNR) ≥ 90 dB,
• harmonic distortion (input THD + N) ≤ -80dB.

Indicators:
Green LED indicating data transmission (blinking).

Other features:
• USB 2.0 full speed 12 Mbit/s and USB 1.1 compatible interface.
• Built-in direct USB Type A male connector.
• Easy to install thanks to full Plug and Play support.
• Possibility to connect your device while running thanks to the Hot Plug support.
• Compliant with the USB Audio Device Class specification v1.0.
• Compliant with the USB HID Class specification v1.1.
• Adapter power supply via USB (bus power) - no auxiliary power supply required.
• Miniature dimensions of 39 x 24 x 12 mm, when inserted into the USB port, the adapter protrudes only 27 mm.
• Weight only 8 g.
• VIA VT1630A chipset is used.

Setting up a sound card in Windows allows:
• adjusting volume and balance of speakers,
• setting for microphone in-ear monitoring,
• enhanced speaker features: Bass Boost, Virtual Surround Sound, Room Correction, Loudness Equalization,
• setting the sampling rate and bit depth for both reproduction and recording,
• setting the automatic level of gain for the microphone (Automatic Gain Control),
• setting the manual level of gain for the microphone.

Plug-in power voltage for external mics are 2.67v for each channel
