Ward-Beck's portable "Audio Bit Buddy" is the convenient way to monitor both digital (AES/EBU, S/PDIF) and analog audio signals. The ABB1 has a headphone output and LEDs to display basic signal parameters. It’s ideal for any studio or technical environment where both digital or analog audio signals are used, such as broadcast installations, production studios, and signal distribution facilities.

Digital and analog program audio can be monitored by the headphone output while the L/R levels are displayed on LED bar graph meters. Critical signal parameters such as sampling frequency, emphasis, professional consumer format and data errors are displayed when monitoring AES/EBU or S/PDIF signals. Digital input monitors sampling frequencies from 30 kHz to 50 kHz automatically.

Main Features:
• Input impedance 110 ohm (75 ohm requires optional IMP-1M)
• Input level .2-7 Vp-p
• Sampling frequency range 30 kHz - 50 kHz
• Frequency response +/-0.5 dB, 20 Hz - 20 kHz
• D-A converter 18-bit
• Power AC or 12v DC battery pack
