Digital audio I/O overview
The AES16 includes eight AES/EBU
compatible inputs and outputs which provide
sixteen channels of digital audio I/O. These
signals are available on two bracket-mounted
26-pin high-density D connectors, labeled
I/O Port A and I/O Port B as shown in the
figure below.
To accommodate a wide range of studio
equipment, the signal routing on each of these
ports can be configured using the I/O
Configuration jumpers to support either four
inputs and four outputs or eight inputs or
outputs. Refer to section 3.2, I/O
Configuration Jumpers, for instructions on
how to set these jumpers.
