Connections
Audio
The DNS3000 offers two audio connection standards. It passes its signal to both outputs
irrespective of the input used. The standards are:
Digital SPDIF format
You should connect the SPDIF output from your source to the SPDIF input of the DNS3000 using
a single cable terminated with an RCA (or 'phono') plug. The SPDIF output of the DNS3000
should be connected to the SPDIF input of a recording device or external DAC.
Digital AES/EBU format
The AES/EBU format is used by professional digital audio devices. You should connect the
AES/EBU output from your source to the AES/EBU input of the DNS3000 using a single cable
terminated with an XLR plug. The AES/EBU output of the DNS3000 should be connected to the
AES/EBU input of a recording device or external DAC.
Locking
The DNS3000 will automatically detect which input to use and will lock to any sample rate
presented up to 96kHz. If the sample rate is not one of the standard sample rates, the filter
table for the nearest standard will be used and scaled accordingly. The Bypass button will flash
slowly to indicate an I/O error such as no lock.
There is no indication of which input has been selected. To avoid confusion, the unit should be
used with only one input connected.
Ethernet
The Ethernet connection allows the DNS3000 to communicate with a remote system. Connect it
to a suitable network using a standard Ethernet cable. See the System Pages for detailed
network setup instructions.
LTC In
The DNS3000 recognises LTC timecode.
