The Prism Sound Dream ADA-128 is a modular high-quality audio conversion system that redefines flexibility, capacity, and performance in professional audio. Building on over 30 years of Prism Sound’s ADC and DAC expertise, and the legacy of the Dream ADA-8XR, the ADA-128 was designed from the ground up to meet the most demanding requirements of today’s and tomorrow’s studios.
The Prism Sound Dream ADA-128’s 2U chassis can house up to 20 plug-in modules, including analogue input/output, AES3, and high-channel host modules such as Pro Tools HDX and Dante, with future expansion on the roadmap. Its advanced routing architecture allows any input to be routed to any output, bridging analogue, digital, and host systems seamlessly.
One of its most innovative features is the presence of four independent clock domains, each capable of running at different sample rates and sync sources, enabling up to four workflows to coexist within a single unit. Every I/O module includes its own DSP, paving the way for future functionality via software updates.
The Prism Sound Dream ADA-128 can also handle Dolby Atmos workflows with up to 128 channels in a single 2U unit, making it one of the most compact yet powerful solutions for immersive audio. With flexible I/O cards including Line In, Line Out, Mic/Line, AES, Dante, Pro Tools and MADI, the Prism Sound Dream ADA-128 is designed to evolve with its user’s needs.
Front-panel touchscreen control and browser-based remote control ensure intuitive operation, while Prism Sound’s collaboration with Ginger Audio brings advanced speaker management through GroundControl Sphere integration. The Prism Sound Dream ADA-128 sets a new benchmark for professional conversion systems, offering unmatched sonic quality, routing flexibility, and future-proof modularity.
