"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music"
2 channel AD / DAMADA-2
The Forssell Technologies MADA-2 is an extremely high quality, bear-bones, two channel Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) and Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) housed in a 1U rack mount enclosure. The MADA-2 is designed for the most demanding applications, where capturing musical performances with accuracy and honesty is required.
Schematics
The following schematics contain proprietary information that is the property of Forssell Technologies/Fred Forssell or the original designers as shown on the schematic pages. These schematics are presented here for the private use of viewers. For commercial use of these designs please contact Fred Forssell at fred@forsselltech.com or 208-263-0286, or the circuit designer listed with the schematic.
Forssell Technologies does not imply any level of performance with these circuits. Some circuits are incomplete or lack component values (hey, we can't do all the work for you, can we?). Therefore, you are on your own if choose to build any of these circuits. Have Fun!
