DIGITAL AES INPUT (XLR)
The JB5896 provides 4 balanced
digital AES3 inputs to the Hydra2
network in a 2 slot-wide module. The
audio interface is via female XLR
connectors.
Front panel LEDs indicate AES signal
presence for each output, lighting green
when receiving a valid AES carrier signal
(irrespective of audio content).
Each input also has an “SRC” LED
indicator which lights yellow when the
sample rate convertor is active.
The standard modular I/O status LED
flashes green once the card has booted
and lights solid green once a connection
between the card and the Hydra2
interface has been established.
