In the Merging pin out position 2, the connector
is compatible with the Merging D25 to XLR break
out cable. Interfacing can also be made directly
to the Mykerinos cards by using a 1:1 male-male
D-sub cable.

The 8 channel AES3 I/O module is able to inter-
face all 8 input and output channels of the Sph-
ynx 2 according to the AES3 specification. The
connection is made via a 25 pin female D-sub
connector. The pin-outs can be set for compliance
with 3 different pin allocation formats.
AES3 I/O Specifications:
Connectors:
1 x 25-pin female D-sub
Formats:
AES3
Sample Rates:
44.1 to 96 kHz
AES3 I/O Pin out:
The pin-out format of the D25 connector is
selected by the position of the internal flat cable
connector on the PCB.
The first position is the one closest to the rear
plate. The second position is in the middle. In
the 3 positions the D25 connector pin-out is
compatible with the following manufacturers
(typical)
Pos. 1 Yamaha, Mackie, Akai and Apogee
Pos. 2 Merging (factory default)
Pos. 3 Tascam and Digidesign
