Unbalanced
Operation
If the analog line outputs of the SOFIA 567 are connected to
low-level, unbalanced inputs of consumer-grade equipment,
connect the center conductor of the shielded output lead to Pin
2 of the XLR connector and the shield to Pin 1. Leave Pin 3 un-
connected.
When driving unbalanced lines, the actual output level will be
6dB lower than the
Analog Level
shown in the menu as only one
side of the bridge-configuration output stage is driving the
load.
AES Digital
Line Output
The male XLR connector labeled
AES DIGITAL OUTPUT
is a bal-
anced, transformer-coupled digital AES3 stereo program out-
put. Again, this is a dual-mono feed to both the left and the
right program audio channels. This is a 24-bit output at either
a 44.1kHz or a 48kHz sample rate (follows Dante sample rate
settings, see Page 27).
The digital output level is set on the Setup / Audio Outputs / Digital
Level
menu. The
dBFS
notation beside the slider control corre-
sponds to the level of program peaks at 100% carrier modula-
tion. The digital output level is adjustable between
0dBFS
and
–30dBFS
.
AoIP Streaming
Port and Levels
The Dante-compliant AoIP (Audio over Internet Protocol) out-
put appears at the rear-panel RJ45
AoIP PORT
. This port is in-
dependent of the SOFIA 567
LAN PORT
network connection.
The AoIP streaming output level is set on the Setup / Audio Out-
puts / AoIP Level
menu. The dB notation beside the slider control
corresponds to the level of program peaks at 100% carrier
modulation. This level is adjustable between 0dBFS and
–30dBFS .
LAN
Network Port
The RJ45
LAN PORT
jack is used for networking the SOFIA 567
via a Local Area Network (LAN) or the Internet. Networking
permits full remote control and the Web-browser ‘casual listen-
ing’ utility that can accommodate up to 10 simultaneous listen-
ers. The
LAN PORT
also offers full SNMP functionality. Net-
working setup is explained starting on Page 25.
GPOs
A screw-terminal strip on the rear panel gives access to four
GPO (General-Purpose Output) terminals. The terminal block
may be unplugged from the chassis for easier connection.
GPOs may be assigned to reception- and program-fault alarms.
Programming these terminals is detailed on Page 25. These
GPOs are NPN transistors that saturate to ground and are able
to sink up to 100mA. Alarm polarity (active = ground or active
= open) is programmable through the front-panel jog knob or
Web interface.
