DIGITAL CONNECTIONS SUMMARY 

The digital audio connections to and from a SPDIF or ADAT option card 

can be 

electrical

 (via RCA or BNC coax jacks) or 

optical

 (via TOSLINK-

type optical connectors). 
If you are installing the 

SPDIF

 option card onto the 

Wave/824

, there 

are RCA jacks already on the PCI card that can be used for electrical 

connections.  Optionally, the 

Digital I/O bracket

 can also be used 

with the 

Wave/824

 and the 

SPDIF

 option card if you need optical 

connections. 
If you are installing the 

ADAT option card

, the 

Digital I/O bracket

 is 

included.  If you are installing the 

SPDIF

 option card on the 

Wave/424 

or Wave/496

, the Digital I/O bracket is included.
