How to Connect the NADAC
Connecting the RAVENNA Ethernet cable to the Network input
The Network input uses an RJ45 female receptacle with an EtherCon locking connector - Figure 7. A standard
Cat5e or Cat6 cable can be used, however we recommend that the EtherCon cable provided with the
NADAC be used. If a longer cable is required this can be ordered from your Merging Technologies
dealer. To connect the cable to the unit, align the cable with the Network input so that the small slot in the
EtherCon connector body is facing upwards, then push the connector home until the lock clicks. The remove
the cable, grasp the EtherCon cable connector body and push the tab above the Network input connector
down to release the lock, then withdraw the connector. Do not pull on the cable. If the lock release tab is not
pushed down sufficiently, the cable cannot be removed
.
Connecting the NADAC using AES/EBU and SPDIF digital interfaces
The NADAC also has one AES/EBU and two SPDIF digital interfaces to allow it to be connected to sources such
as CD players and CD transports. These inputs are on the rear panel adjacent to the Network input - Figure 6.
The AES/EBU input uses an XLR type connector. One SPDIF input uses an RCA type connector and the other a
TOSLINK type optical connector.
When using the electrical inputs, for the best results only cables that have been specifically designed to
comply with the AES/EBU or SPDIF standards should be used. Other cables will probably work, but may not
give the best performance.
