SPL Mercury

Mercury is the first mastering DA-converter in 120V technology. It offers seven digital stereo input sources, all of which can be synchronized with each other or with a word clock. The additional variable output qualifies Mercury as a monitor controller.

Mercury provides connections for a total of seven digital stereo input sources.A 

For each digital source there is a dedicated and illuminated tactile switch for quick selection and quick comparison.

The detected sample rate is shown in the display.

One USB input and two coaxial, two optical and two AES/EBU inputs are available. AES input 2 also supports Dual-Wire (DW) mode.

The display shows the synchronization status and the detected sampling rate. Any source except USB can be synchronized to another source or to an external Word Clock.

If the sync “Source” is selected in the display, each source uses its own sync code embedded in the signal.

Holding the Sync button for more than two seconds Mercury will change to the 0dBfs display.

Mercury offers all reference levels in dBu corresponding to a 0 dBfs (full scale) digital signal: +14, +15, +16, +17, +18, +20, +22 and +24 dBuA
