If a broadcast facility largely contains digital connections and you need to connect monitors
to a studio, you will need a suitable analogue output. The Signature DAC 1 can be used to
convert the system AES signal into an analogue output for active studio monitors.
An AES output from the master router or console is connected into the DAC 1 via a single XLR
connector.
Two analogue XLR connections are taken from the DAC1 and connected to the active
monitors.
A 6.35mm jack socket can be used to connect headphones on the front panel for monitoring.
