AMS Neve StarNet ADA24 24 Channel Analog to Dante Converter

Developed in collaboration with engineers from some of the worlds most respected studios, the ADA24 has been refined through extensive blind listening tests and iterative circuit optimization. The result is a converter engineered to meet the highest standards of transparency, reliability, and performance, allowing modern facilities to deploy pristine analogue I/O directly on a Dante audio-over-IP network.

Mastering-Grade Conversion for Dante Workflows

The StarNet ADA24 delivers exceptional sonic accuracy with 32-bit integer resolution and support for sample rates up to 192 kHz. Its high-performance converters achieve up to 119 dBFS dynamic range (ADC) and 122 dBFS (DAC), ensuring detailed, uncolored conversion across every channel.

Selectable analogue headroom at +18, +24, or +26 dBu allows optimal alignment with any professional system, from modern converters to classic analogue consoles, ensuring the ADA24 integrates cleanly into a wide variety of operating environments.

Professional Analogue I/O with 88R-Derived Output Stages

Featuring 24 balanced analogue inputs and 24 balanced analogue outputs via industry-standard DB25 connectors, the ADA24 is designed for effortless connection to patchbays, summing mixers, large-format consoles, and outboard equipment.

The analogue output path uses the same balanced line-amplification technology found in Neves flagship 88RS console, offering:

• Analogue bandwidth in excess of 100 kHz
• Ability to drive long cable runs without degradation
• Exceptional common-mode rejection and low noise

This ensures pristine analogue performance whether installed in a control room, machine room, or remote rack.

Precision Clocking & Low-Jitter Performance

A low-drift crystal oscillator and precision PLL deliver stable, low-jitter clocking essential for critical recording and broadcast applications. The ADA24 can operate as a reliable system master clock, with 75 BNC word clock input and output enabling synchronization across complex studio or facility-wide setups.

Combined with DAC jitter-elimination technology, the ADA24 ensures conversion accuracy and long-term clock stability under demanding conditions.

Redundant Dante Networking for Mission-Critical Systems

Dual rear-panel Dante Ethernet ports provide:

• Primary & Secondary redundancy for uninterrupted operation
• Switched-mode daisy-chaining for multi-unit networks
• Smooth integration into complex distributed audio systems

In broadcast, live, and large-scale installations, redundancy ensures continuous audio delivery even in the event of a network fault, essential for mission-critical environments..

Clear Monitoring, Control & Remote Output Management

A front-panel OLED display provides immediate visibility of system parameters including sample rate, bit depth, clock source, network status, and full metering for all analogue I/O.Dedicated LEDs indicate signal presence and clipping across all 24 input and output channels.

Using the Neve ADA24 Remote App, engineers can remotely manage output attenuation and muting across the network, offering enhanced protection for speakers, amplifiers, and sensitive analogue equipment.

Engineered for Reliability

An external universal-voltage power supply and fan-assisted airflow ensure efficient thermal management and stable long-term operation, even in tightly packed racks or high-demand technical facilities.
