All CDQ Prima models, from the basic CDQPrima 110 to the full-featured CDQPrima 230 feature the same superb audio specifications. With MUSICAM^® enhanced MPEG Layer 2, MPEG Layer 3 and G.722, CDQPrima offers connectivity at bit rates ranging from 24 to 384 kb/s. These wide choices of connect rates and algorithms make the CDQPrima ideal for any voice or music application, from intercom to studio master quality.

All CDQ Prima models use plug-in interface modules that allow you to connect directly to ISDN or to any digital transmission system with available V.35, X.21 or RS422A interfaces. With any 200 Series model, you can install up to three digital interfaces for higher ISDN bit rates or for multiple connections. CDQPrima's broadcast modes allow you to send two independent audio channels to two or more locations, or send the same monaural or stereo program to as many as six locations simultaneously.

CDQ Prima Features

• Universal power supply - no need to change power supply frequency and voltages
• Universal Terminal Adapter - no need to change 'ROM' chips whan taking your CDQPrima to different countries
• 20 bit A/D, AES/EBU or S/PDIF digital audio I/O (standard on all models except 110). Up to 20 kHz bandwidth with better than 92 dB SNR and 0.01 THD+N. Built-in high quality rate adapters allow 24.05, 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz digital audio sampling rates with internal or external synchronization. High quality "intellegent" headphone circuits can monitor local and return audio on models 120, 220 and 230.
• Fully compatible MUSICAM-enhanced MPEG Layer 2, MPEG Layer 3 and G.722 algorithms support bit rates from 24 through 384 kb/s and sampling rates from 16 through 48 kHz. CCS Inverse Multiplexing, ITU J.52 BONDING and H.221 transport protocol are standard. In addition, only the CDQPrima allows you to adjust MPEG Layer 2 encoding algorithm parameters to tailor the audio to your application. All CDQPrima models are fully Eureka DAB compatible.
• BONDING of up to 6 x 64 kb/s channels for contribution quality is based on systems such as DAB ETS300401, ADR spec.1.3 or Direc-TV is supported as well as enhanced features for broadcasting, production studios, advertising and news agencies and many other applications.
