the MDAC board inside the MADA-2 that will allow you to change the level calibration for the DA 
section. 

 
Digital inputs 

There are two digital inputs on the MADA-2.  One is configured as an AES-3 or AES/EBU  input, and 
the other is an SPDIF input.  The AES-3 input is a 110 ohm, transformer isolated, and balanced XLR 
input.  Pin #1 of this input is connected to chassis ground through a 0.1 mfd capacitor .  The SPDIF 
input is a 75 ohm single-ended RCA input.   

 
Analog Outputs 

The analog output of the MADA-2 are balanced and floating with an output impedance of less than 5 
ohms.  Either balanced or single-ended loads may be connected to the output of the MADA-2 without  
problem. When a single-ended load (unbalanced) is used, be sure to take the signal between pin #2 (hot) 
and pin #3 (cold) of the input XLR.  Pin #1 can be connected to either of these pins if desired. 
Connecting pin #1 to pin #2 will produce an output signal that is out of phase, so normally pin #1 is 
connected to pin #3 for single-ended loads.  Pin #1 can be left floating too.
