DMTi 18
AES/EBU to K2500
Application
Sending a channel pair from an AES/EBU device to a K2500-series
instrument’s KDS bus input. Examples:
• Sampling from a DAT deck, CD player, or digital mixer
• Transferring a stereo pair from a multitrack deck or disk system to the K2500
• Returning a signal to the K2500 from a signal processor
(Note: Since a Sampling-option-equipped K2500 has AES/EBU and S/PDIF
optical inputs, you can sample directly from a digital source without the
DMTi
.
However, using the
DMTi
gives you the option of changing the sample rate of
the digital signal. Also, if you already have the K2500 and
DMTi
hooked to-
gether for another purpose, this will save the hassles of rewiring.
What you need
• The K2500 must be equipped with the Sampling option and the KDS digital
input/output option or KDFX digital effects option.
• Use a KDS cable (included with the
DMTi
) to connect the K2500 to the
DMTi
.
• AES/EBU cable(s).
Hookup
• Connect the KDS cable between the K2500 and the
DMTi
’s KDS In connector
(not the
KDS Out
).
• Connect AES/EBU cables from the output on the AES/EBU device to one of
the
DMTi
’s two AES inputs.
Settings
• Destination 1 controls the input to the K2500 (using the “return” pair on the
KDS In bus). Set it to AES1 or AES2 , depending on which input you are
using.
• Set the Clock Select to KDS to make sure the outgoing signal is compatible
with the KDS bus. Alternatively, you can use the Int 48K setting, or you can
use one of the AES settings, provided the signal at the corresponding AES
input is at 48 kHz.
• Set the following parameters on the K2500’s Sample Page: Input to “Digital”
and Src to “Rtn”.
