Production Update - 06/14/2021
The PI2AES is currently out of stock. We have started a 100 unit build. These should be ready by the end of this month or the beginning of July.  But, there is still one part we are waiting for confirmation on and that may hold us up further. We'll provide an update when we get closer.
​
Many thanks for your continued patience from the Pi 2 Design team, and stay safe!

PI2AES - Now with Black Opaque Case Option

    PI2AES Questions
FEATURES
  • RASPBERRY PI 4 COMPATIBLE - Tested on the latest Raspberry Pi 4 using Moode 6.10
  • AES TRANSMITTER – The industry standard WM8804 converts the RPi I2S stream to AES3/SPDIF formatted data at 24-Bit up to 192Khz
  • SPDIF COAX OUTPUT – An RCA connector with Isolation Transformer provides coaxial transmission of the SPDIF Audio Data Stream.
  • SPDIF OPTICAL OUTPUT – Isolated Optical Transmitter Supports Consumer Level DAC and AVR inputs
  • AES BNC OUTPUT - A 75 ohm BNC connector with Isolation Transformer provides for Single Ended AES transmission.
  • AES BALANCED OUTPUT – An RS-422 Transmitter coupled with Isolation Transformer allows the transmission of balanced audio data with 110 ohm impedance via the Professional Audio Standard XLR Connector
  • BUFFERED I2S OUTPUT – Parallel Buffered I2S is available for direct short
    distance connection to off-board D/A. Perfect for DIY use! I2C for control is also provided as well as 5V Regulated and Input Voltage Rails
  • DIFFERENTIAL I2S OUTPUT – A DS2063 Differential Transmitter is used to drive the I2S Bus via LVDS over a standard HDMI Connector. 
IMPORTANT NOTE - All units require a minimum of 24V DC Input, up to the maximum of 48V. Some units may be marked +12V to +48V. Please contact us with any questions regarding this change.
