Connecting to the Audio Interface 

S/PDIF 

 
Next to the 

Optical

 connectors is a pair of connectors labeled 

S/PDIF

,

 IN

 and 

OUT

.  These S/PDIF connectors are used to transmit digital audio data between 

digital audio devices via an electrical signal. 
 

 

 
When connecting devices to the S/PDIF jacks, the use of standard analog RCA 
audio cables is not recommended. For reliable S/PDIF operation, 75-ohm coaxial 
(RG59) video cables are recommended. 

 
MIDI

 

 
Both Layla3G and Gina3G are equipped with MIDI I/O connectors. The MIDI 
ports can be used for receiving MIDI time code (MTC), or sending and receiving 
MIDI signals between your digital audio/MIDI sequencing software and external 
sound modules, keyboards, MIDI controllers, etc. 
 

 

 
MIDI cabling is highly standardized and widely available.
