9.E.4 EtherSound applications and DO-8XES module

he DO-8XES module simultaneously outputs 8 processed audio channels to 4 pairs of AES digital

outputs (via 4 XLR) and the EtherSound Network via the RJ45 ‘EtherCon’

front panel connectors.

Each of the eight channels has the following features:

Balanced outputs 110

, AES standard levels, synchronous with the EtherSound network.

Sampling frequency asynchronous from the system general clock and synchronous with the

EtherSound general sampling frequency (integrated Sample Rate Converter)

Output attenuation from 0 to -11.5 dB with 0.5 dB steps

Parametric equalizer - 8 fully independent bands

An independent compressor and gate for each output

A 1.3 s delay per output, one sample adjustable

Patch and mute programmable for each output

The EtherSound network access is achieved with an integrated MSX88 module from Digigram

The DO-8XES

modules are designed to work in slots ‘A’ to ‘H’ of the Mix Box. DO-8XES modules are

detected and controlled by Sensoft in the same way as XO-8D cards.

If the FROM connector has no signal or an ES Control frame, the DO-8XES module is

‘Primary

Master’

and the Network Clock is internal from the rack. If an EtherSound frame is received, the

module is

‘Master’

, locks on the network clock and daisy-chains with it.

A coding wheel is used to configure the
module and define the 8 EtherSound
channels used on the network.

See

www.digigram.com

and the EtherSound

user’s manuals for network set-up and
complementary instructions.

Hardware positions 0 to 7, assign the 8
EtherSound consecutive channels to be
driven by the module as follows:
