#Universal audio 2192 generator

Like those products, the 2192 provides independent stereo AвЂ‘D and DвЂ‘A conversion, all within aВ heavy steel chassis extending about 12.5 inches behind the rack ears, but it also provides digital interface format conversion and can serve as aВ master clock generator and distributor too. In many ways, the 2192 is UA's answer to the likes of Apogee's Rosetta 200 (or perhaps more accurately, the previous and now obsolete PSX100) and the Lavry Blue. Its full name provides a hint as to its intendedВ market. The 2192 is styled with aВ vintage look about it, and operates in aВ very logical and simple way, while still providing very versatile functionality. This device is unique in Universal Audio's product line-up, in that it combines the company's expertise in both digital and analogue technologies to provide aВ high-performance stereo AвЂ‘D and independent DвЂ‘A in aВ 1U rackmount box. The 2192 Master Digital Audio interface I'm reviewing here isn't new - it's been on the market since 2003, in fact - but somehow it's fallen through our net until now. There aren't many companies that can stand so proudly in both the digital and analogue camps. On the other, they're equally well known for their own analogue hardware products, such as the classic UA (and Urei) preamps, compressors and channel strips. On the one hand, they're well known for their highly respected digital signal-processing plugвЂ‘ins, modelled on aВ wide range of classic analogue hardware. Universal Audio are something of aВ doubleвЂ‘edged company.

The 2192 takes an array of versatile digital interfacing, conversion and clocking features, and adds a hint of unexpectedly analogue character.
