.
3.2.1 Connections to Equipment with XLR Connectors
The CBL-AES1604 cable provides standard XLR connectors for the AES16
e
. It is a 2 meter long cable
with the AES16
e
compatible HD-26 connector, 4 male and 4 female XLR connectors as well as a BNC
word-clock connection. It is important to note that the signals associated with each XLR and BNC
connector depend on which I/O Port it is used on. These signals are listed below in Figure 2. Clock
connections are discussed in detail in Section 3.3
This is the correct cable set to use whenever the AES16
e
is attached to an AES/EBU device that has XLR
connections.
