AES3 digital inputs
: Four AES3 digital audio inputs are available at the rear of the control surface on
3-pin XLR female connectors. The AES3 format carries two independent audio channels. In accordance
with the AES3 spec, the inputs are balanced, with a characteristic impedance of 110 ohms.
Connections to these inputs should always be made using cable specifically designed for digital audio.
The digital inputs are equipped with Sample Rate Converters (SRCs) and can accept sample rates
between 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz.
Connector pinout is the same as XLRs for analogue audio:
