Focusrite has strived to make the Liquid Channel converters to the highest spec so as to preserve the detail in the recorded signal and keep THD and noise to the very minimum. We are confident that sonically the Liquid Channel converters will match or better all other high-end A/D and D/A converters. The converter specs are:
Converter performance:
- Sample rate: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz
- Bit depth: 24-bit
ADC:
- SNR: 120 dB measured with 20 Hz/22 kHz bandpass A-weighted filter
- Frequency response: ±0.05 dB between 20 Hz - 20 kHz
- Maximum input level: +22 dBu
- THD+N: 0.00035% (-109 dB)
DAC:
- Dynamic range: 116 dB measured with 20 Hz/22 kHz bandpass A-weighted filter
- Frequency response: ±0.05 dB between 20 Hz - 20 kHz
- Maximum output level: +22 dBu
- THD+N: 0.0007% (-103 dB)
