Audio connections – Layla24
The Computer Connector
Next to the analog inputs and outputs is a connector labeled
COMPUTER

connector is known as a DB-9, and is similar to the serial port on a PC. It is the
point at which the audio interface connects to the Layla24 PCI card inside your
computer.
A cable was supplied with your Layla24 for this purpose. This custom made cable
is manufactured to certain specifications; if you need to replace it, you should only
use a replacement cable from Echo.

COMPUTER
connector is a pair of connectors labeled
OPTICAL,
IN

optical signal.
You can use this port for ADAT (8 channels) or for optical S/PDIF (stereo) I/O.

digital signal at a time. You must choose either ADAT optical or S/PDIF
(optical or RCA); you cannot use both simultaneously. The
