7. A/C Input
An IEC-320 C14 power inlet provides for
connection of an IEC-320 C13 equipped power
cord. Before connecting the power cord,
check that the voltage rating on the data plate
conforms with your locality. Upon applying
power, the BCD-3 will enter standby mode. See
“Connecting to A/C Power” on page 4.
8. Analog Outputs
Balanced and single ended analog output are
provided via respective left/right pairs of XLR
and RCA jacks. Connect to a preamp or similar
device with a volume control.
Do not connect
directly to an amplifier that has no volume
control!
See “Connecting to a Preamplifier” on
page 4.
9. Digital Outputs
A balanced AES/EBU XLR connector and single
ended S/PDIF RCA connector are both provided
to output digital audio to a DAC should you
choose to bypass the internal analog circuitry in
the BCD-3.
10. Control Interfaces
RS232, Ethernet, and USB two-way control
interfaces are available to enable BCD-3 control
by home automation systems. Note that these
ports do not accept audio and are for remote
control and diagnostics only. See “Remote
Control” on page 6 for connection diagrams
and protocol details.
11. Status LED
LED lights to indicate the following status:
Red: Standby
Green: On
Amber: Starting up
Blinking Amber: Updating firmware
Blue: Self programing. Do not power off
12. Data Plate
