Compact AES/EBU converter

The Yellowtec PUC2 Lite is a compact and straightforward audio interface for professional AES/EBU signal transmission that can be easily connected to a computer via its USB port and conveniently used with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems thanks to its plug-and-play design. The PUC2 Lite supports signal processing with a sample rate of up to 192kHz and 24 bits with a dynamic range of 114dB as well as zero-latency monitoring for demanding recording sessions, and comes with Yellowtec's special PUC2 software, which provides a wide range of individual settings for perfect recording setups. All these features make the Yellowtec PUC2 Lite the ideal professional solution for accurate, high-quality recordings using digital audio equipment.

Premium signal quality

The premium AES-to-USB conversion offered by the Yellowtec PUC2 Lite audio interface plays a crucial role in creating high-quality USB audio for professional applications. The PUC2 Lite model boasts an impressive 192kHz and 24-bit audio quality with a dynamic range of 114dB alongside a high frequency accuracy of +/-10ppm and an ultra-low jitter of less than 10mUI, enabling high-precision bit-by-bit conversion of USB to AES/EBU digital audio signals in premium quality without any losses. This highly accurate signal conversion and the resulting authentic, high-quality audio provide the ideal basis for further digital processing, which makes the PUC2 Lite eminently suitable for the purpose of integrating external premium-quality AD/DA converters into audio workflows, connecting mastering systems, or playing crystal-clear audio in amazing detail through high-end Hi-Fi systems.

Lossless digital transmission

The compact Yellowtec PUC2 Lite features all the necessary connections for the professional processing of purely digital AES/EBU signals, and its user-friendly plug-and-play design allows the audio interface to be easily set up in next to no time using a computer with a Windows, Mac, or Linux operating system. The built-in AES input allows audio signals from digital mics or playback devices to be directly received without losses using special AES/EBU cables, which are available separately. The range of products offered by Yellowtec also includes two further variants of the PUC2 audio interface: The PUC2 Line, which offers high-quality AD/DA conversion, and the PUC2 Mic LEA, which enables the recording of analogue microphone signals with excellent speech intelligibility.

The Yellowtec m!ka mic arms with a built-in red indicator light can be found in numerous broadcasting studios all over the world. All Yellowtec products are manufactured in Germany using exclusively high-quality materials.

High-quality AES-to-USB conversion

The Yellowtec PUC2 Lite audio interface provides users with an easy-to-use solution for reliably transmitting the professional sound of AES/EBU streams to a computer via USB without any losses, e.g. in order to create high-quality D/A conversions of audio signals from external mastering and Hi-Fi systems or recordings of digital mics. Lossless premium-quality AES-to-USB conversion is ensured by a high frequency accuracy of +/-10ppm and an ultra-low jitter of less than 15mUI. Users who want to run their PUC2 Lite in stand-alone mode without a connection to a computer can also connect it to an external power supply using a 5V power adapter (available separately).

Pretty much the only choice for AES input and output via USB

audiovkk 10.12.2021

As the headline indicates, the puc2 is pretty much the only choice for AES input and output via USB in a recording scenario. Once configured it works flawlessly and provides high quality sound. AES is the best method to get digital sound from components like high end DACs that often don't have USB built in. The Yellowtec is the only one I found that does a quality solution to provide AES signals via USB.

Great for Ropieee but only max 96kHz

Zenek73 17.02.2023

I use it to convert USB singnal from RospberryPi to Genelec speakers. Works great with Roon and RopieeeXL. Unfortunately 192/24 doesnt work neither with Linux (with new firmware) nor with OSX. Probably the device is broken

DusteD 07.08.2023

I abit of time not reading the manual and trying to get the device to accept anything but 48khz on Linux, but the cool guys at Yellowtec actually has a firmware specially for Linux, and they kindly wrote it in the manual too! I applied this firmware with no problem, and now I get the full specs. Thumbs up!
