HD-DIP2

This digital audio input module provides two AES stereo pairs or four mono channels that
may be used as sources in subsequent embedding.

HD-DIP2

Link jumpers are provided to select between 110 Ohm (upper 2 pins) , HiZ (balanced – centre
pins only) or 75 Ohm (unbalanced – lower 2 pins).

J3 must be selected for 20-bit.
