Product Review

What's small, square, roughly the color of the Cookie Monster, and could quite possibly save your sanity? Give up? Why, it's the Hosa CDL-313 S/PDIF to AES/EBU converter box. Seriously, have you ever had the frustration of trying to hook up a piece of gear that outputs AES/EBU to your interface. It's about as easy sticking a round peg into a square hole... while wearing greasy oven mitts. Most high-end interfaces have ADAT light pipe and S/PDIF inputs, but AES/EBU? Yeah right! That's where the CDL-313 comes in. Just hook up your AES/EBU and your S/PDIF cables, and you're golden! You can even go the other way around too. And we're not talking about some crippled digital audio either - straight up 24-bit/96kHz performance here! So make your life easier, and pick up a Hosa CDL-313 S/PDIF to AES/EBU converter box before you end up beating your head against a wall.
