Lucid introduced four digital audio distribution amplifiers at the winter NAMM International Music Market in Anaheim. Each DA features a selection of outputs that will distribute audio or sync signals to multiple destinations. According to Lucid's VP of Sales, Cari Casteel, "Our distros are small, just a 1/2U chassis, but they do the really big job of passing sync information and simultaneous audio distribution quickly and cleanly." Of the four DA's, the Lucid AESx4 and CLKx6 perform the simplest set of tasks: taking the audio at their inputs and distributing it to a number of same-format destinations. The AESx4 receives either Word Clock or AES audio and delivers it to four AES-connected units. The CLKx6 passes sync information, in Word Clock or Superclock format, to six parallel outputs. Two additional Lucid DA's offer an expanded set of features. The SPDIFx7 can take S/PDIF stereo audio and feed to it four S/PDIF and two TOSLINK optical outputs, plus one AES output. Distribution in multiple formats is simultaneous. The GENx6 can distribute or generate sync information. It routes Word Clock or Superclock to six BNC outputs. With the flip of a switch it operates as a stand-alone clock source, generating Word Clock or Superclock at frequencies of 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. Lucid's family of distribution amplifiers will retail at suggested prices under US$599. For more information, visit their web site at http://www.lucidtechnology.com/.
