Installation
Analog/Digital output connectors
Use the six male 3-point terminal blocks for digital (AES/EBU) and analog signal cabling.
AES IN A&B / ANA IN A AES LINK A&B ANALOG IN B AES IN C&D / ANA IN C AES LINK C&D ANALOG IN D
+ - + - + - + - + - + -
The connectors are wired as follows (from left to right):
• pin 1: + signal
• pin 2: - signal
• pin 3: shield
Analog inputs
ANA IN A, ANALOG IN B, ANA IN C, and ANALOG IN D can receive up to four analog signals (when setting the
analog input mode). The headroom of the input circuits is high enough to accept the maximum output level from virtually
any line level signal source (up to 22 dBu).
The input signals can be transmitted to daisy-chained amplied controllers by wiring the inputs of the next unit in the
same terminal blocks.
AES/EBU inputs
Supported digital input format
Standards AES/EBU (AES3)
Sampling frequency (Fs) 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, or 192 kHz
Word length 16, 18, 20, or 24 bits
Synchronization signal resampled to internal clock at 96 kHz
AES IN A&B and AES IN C&D can receive up to four digital signals (when setting the AES/EBU input mode).
Each LINK connector is electronically buffered to allow daisy-chaining any number of amplied controllers. It also features
a failsafe relay to ensure wiring continuity in case of amplied controller shutdown.
Ethernet connectors
Use the two etherCON connectors for the remote control of LA2Xi over the L-NET network using LA Network Manager.
The etherCON connectors are AVB-capable.
Each of the two etherCON connectors can be equally used as an IN or a LINK connector.
In redundancy mode, the two etherCON connectors are independent: the LINK/ACT 1 connector is used for the primary
network, and the LINK/ACT 2 connector is used for the secondary network.
Refer to the amplied controller owner's manuals and the
LA Network Manager
Help for more information on how to
connect amplied controllers and P1 to the L-NET / AVB network in daisy-chain, star or hybrid topologies.
