Built to the \u003cstrong\u003eTASCAM DB25 analog standard (AES59)\u003c\/strong\u003e, the ANA-Core DB25–DB25 delivers a stable, low-noise \u003cstrong\u003e8-channel balanced analog connection\u003c\/strong\u003e between mixing consoles, audio interfaces, multichannel DACs, converters, and patch panels in recording studios, broadcasting facilities, and engineered installations. Precision-terminated, gold-plated DB25 male connectors with screw locking, independent shielded twisted pairs for each of the eight channels, and a combined braided and aluminum foil overall shield make the ANA-Core DB25–DB25 the recommended interconnect for NuPrime-X Fusion-X platform components including the H16-AVP, Fusion 8D, and MCX-800AD, available at Vinyl Sound's Buffalo, NY location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTASCAM DB25 Analog Standard and AES59 Compliance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ANA-Core DB25–DB25 is wired to the TASCAM analog DB25 pin configuration, the industry-standard pinout for multichannel balanced analog audio over 25-pin D-sub connectors. This standard is formally defined by AES59, which specifies the use of the DB25 connector for unidirectional transmission of eight-channel balanced analog audio, or as a bidirectional digital interface carrying four AES3 signals in each direction. The ANA-Core DB25–DB25 implements the analog variant of this standard, carrying up to eight channels of balanced line-level audio across a single cable run. Full AES59 compliance ensures straightforward interoperability with professional audio equipment from any manufacturer that follows the TASCAM analog DB25 specification, including mixing consoles, audio interfaces, multichannel converters, and NuPrime-X Fusion-X components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShielding Architecture and Signal Integrity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the eight channels in the ANA-Core DB25–DB25 is carried by an independent shielded twisted pair, providing per-channel isolation that keeps crosstalk between adjacent signals extremely low across the full audio bandwidth. High-purity copper conductors minimize resistive signal loss over the 1.5-metre cable run. The overall cable construction adds a second layer of protection: a braided outer shield combined with aluminum foil shielding suppresses electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) from the surrounding environment, maintaining signal integrity in demanding studio and broadcast settings where multiple cables run in close proximity. A durable, flexible PVC outer jacket protects the cable structure in both fixed rack installations and mobile recording applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTASCAM DB25 Analog Standard (AES59 Compliant):\u003c\/strong\u003e Wired to the industry-standard TASCAM analog DB25 pin configuration, ensuring full compatibility with professional audio equipment from any manufacturer that follows this pinout, including NuPrime-X Fusion-X components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-Channel Balanced Analog Audio:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carries up to eight channels of balanced line-level analog audio through a single DB25-to-DB25 cable run, replacing eight individual XLR cables with one organized, compact connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndependent Shielded Twisted Pair per Channel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each of the eight channels has its own dedicated shielded twisted pair, providing channel-level isolation and very low crosstalk across the full audio frequency band.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Layer Overall Shield:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combined braided and aluminum foil outer shielding delivers excellent EMI and RFI immunity, suitable for professional studio and broadcast environments with high cable density.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold-Plated DB25 Male Connectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision-terminated, gold-plated contacts on both ends ensure reliable, low-resistance connections with long-term corrosion resistance under repeated connect and disconnect cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrew Locking Connectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated screw locking on both DB25 connectors provides a mechanically secure, vibration-resistant connection that will not work loose in rack-mounted or mobile applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Purity Copper Conductors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optimized for analog signal transmission with no characteristic impedance requirement, delivering wide frequency response across the entire audio band with low noise and minimal signal degradation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible PVC Outer Jacket:\u003c\/strong\u003e A durable, flexible PVC jacket protects the internal cable structure and allows routing in tight rack environments as well as repeated coiling and uncoiling for mobile use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStandard\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTASCAM Analog DB25 Pin Configuration (AES59)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSignal Format\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMulti-channel balanced analog audio\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eChannel Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUp to 8 channels (line level)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConnectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDB25 male to DB25 male, gold-plated contacts, screw locking\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWire Structure\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIndependent shielded twisted pair per channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConductor\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHigh-purity copper\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOverall Shield\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBraided shield and aluminum foil\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eImpedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNo characteristic impedance requirement (analog optimized)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEMI\/RFI Immunity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eExcellent;

It carries up to 8 channels of balanced line-level analog audio through a single cable with DB25 male connectors at both ends, using independent shielded twisted pairs per channel and a dual-layer braided plus aluminum foil outer shield. It is the recommended analog interconnect for NuPrime-X Fusion-X platform components including the H16-AVP and Fusion 8D.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the TASCAM DB25 analog standard and is the ANA-Core compatible with my equipment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TASCAM DB25 analog standard, formally defined by AES59, is the widely adopted industry pinout for transmitting eight channels of balanced analog audio over a single 25-pin D-sub connector. Any professional audio device that lists TASCAM analog DB25 or AES59 connectivity, including mixing consoles from SSL, API, and Neve, audio interfaces from Focusrite, Avid, and RME, multichannel converters, and NuPrime-X Fusion-X components such as the H16-AVP and Fusion 8D, is compatible with the ANA-Core DB25–DB25.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the ANA-Core DB25–DB25 differ from the NuPrime AES-Core DB25–XLR cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NuPrime ANA-Core DB25–DB25 carries balanced analog audio signals between two DB25-equipped devices following the TASCAM analog pinout. The NuPrime AES-Core DB25–XLR is a breakout cable that carries AES3 (AES\/EBU) digital audio signals from a DB25 port to individual XLR connectors, following the AES59 digital pinout rather than the analog variant. The two cables are not interchangeable: the ANA-Core is for analog signal paths between DB25 devices, while the AES-Core connects AES3 digital outputs from a DB25 port to individual XLR inputs on a downstream device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the ANA-Core DB25–DB25 carry AES3 digital audio?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the NuPrime ANA-Core DB25–DB25 is wired to the TASCAM analog DB25 pin configuration and is optimized for balanced analog audio transmission with no characteristic impedance requirement. AES3 digital audio requires cables with a controlled 110-ohm impedance and digital-optimized construction. For AES3 digital connections between DB25-equipped devices, the NuPrime AES-Core DB25–XLR or AES-Core DB25–DB25 cables should be used instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many ANA-Core DB25–DB25 cables are needed to carry 16 channels?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo ANA-Core DB25–DB25 cables are required to carry 16 channels of balanced analog audio. Each cable carries 8 channels across its single DB25-to-DB25 connection, so two cables running in parallel between dual DB25 ports on the source and destination devices, such as between the NuPrime H16-AVP and the Fusion 8D, provide the full 16-channel analog signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the ANA-Core DB25–DB25 suitable for mobile and live sound use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the NuPrime ANA-Core DB25–DB25 is designed for both fixed studio installations and mobile applications. The flexible PVC outer jacket allows routing in tight rack environments and tolerates repeated coiling and uncoiling without damage to the internal conductors. Screw locking DB25 connectors at both ends provide a mechanically secure connection that resists vibration and accidental disconnection in mobile or live sound setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the NuPrime ANA-Core DB25–DB25 cable in Buffalo, NY or the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NuPrime ANA-Core DB25–DB25 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized NuPrime-X dealer located in Buffalo, NY, USA.
