Neve StarNet ADA24: Dante 24x24 converter for professional audio

With the Neve StarNet ADA24, professional audio conversion meets the flexibility of modern networking infrastructure. The system enables 24 balanced analog inputs and 24 balanced analog outputs in an architecture designed to integrate seamlessly with Dante-based workflows, providing a robust, transparent platform ready for the most demanding studio and broadcast applications.

High-end AD/DA converter for studios and Dante systems

With its precision-oriented design, StarNet ADA24 is ideal for recording and mastering studios, TV productions, live sound systems, film post-production, and multi-room facilities. Dual Dante ports with primary and secondary redundancy ensure business continuity and maximum security in professional settings where stability and reliability are critical.

Mastering-grade sound quality with up to 192 kHz conversion

The conversion section of the Neve StarNet ADA24 offers top-notch performance, with dynamics exceeding 119 dBFS in ADC and over 122 dBFS in DAC. The 32-bit integer resolution and support for up to 192 kHz allow the audio signal to be captured and reproduced with extreme precision, preserving detail, depth and transparency on all 24 channels.

Crystal-clear fidelity for recording, mixing and mastering

Every aspect of the circuit has been optimized through blind listening tests and continuous design refinement, with the goal of achieving crystal-clear and neutral sound output. This makes the Neve converter particularly suitable for all applications where signal integrity, high headroom and low distortion are prerequisites.

Selectable headroom and integration with outboards, consoles and patchbays

One of the strengths of the Neve StarNet ADA24 is its selectable analog headroom at +18, +24 and +26 dBu, designed to fit perfectly into different professional audio configurations. This feature allows the converter to be integrated into both modern high-precision setups and environments with vintage analog consoles, high-end outboards and analog summing systems.

Balanced DB25 connections for professional workflows

The 24 balanced analog inputs and 24 balanced analog outputs on standard TASCAM DB25 connectors ensure quick and uncluttered connections to patchbays, mixers, and external processors. This approach simplifies integration into racks and complex systems, improving operational efficiency in professional, channel-dense installations.

Neve analog stages and precision clocks for maximum reliability

Analog output stages are derived from the technology of the renowned Neve 88RS console, offering wide bandwidth, excellent long cable drive, and remarkable common mode noise rejection. The precision PLL clock system with low-drift oscillator ensures extremely accurate time stability, which is essential in high-performance professional audio conversion applications.

Optimal performance even in complex technical environments

The combination of Neve analog quality, accurate clock management, and network redundancy makes StarNet ADA24 a solid choice for complex technical environments. It is a particularly suitable solution in facilities where synchronization, signal continuity and sound consistency must be guaranteed under all operating conditions.

OLED display, remote control and advanced monitoring

The front-facing OLED display allows real-time monitoring of sample rate, clock source, system parameters and complete metering of all I/O channels. This at-a-glance visibility facilitates day-to-day control of the converter and improves speed of action in the studio, control room, or complex technical installations.

Remote Management with Neve ADA24 Remote

The Neve ADA24 Remote app allows remote control of output attenuation and muting, offering advanced protection for speakers and sensitive devices. This feature is particularly useful in professional environments where the system needs to be managed quickly, accurately and safely even from a distance.

Neve converter ideal for studio, broadcast, live and post-production use

With its sound quality, redundant Dante connectivity, precision clocking and reliable construction, the Neve StarNet ADA24 stands as a reference solution for a wide range of professional applications. It is perfect for recording and mastering studios, broadcast and television production, live sound systems, audio post-production, and permanent installations with Dante network infrastructure.
