Connections 
 

 

 
AC MAINS
 – Powercon™ connector to connect to the Mains supply. Dual Internal Power Supplies are 
capable of running on 100-240VAC 50/60Hz. 

AUX 1 – Auxiliary 1 BNC MADI Output Connector. By default, a copy of the switched signal is present 
on this connector, although this mode can be changed. See “Modes of Operation”. 

AUX 2- Auxiliary 2 BNC MADI Output Connector. By default, a copy of the switched signal is present 
on this connector, although this mode can be changed. See “Modes of Operation”. 

AUX IN – 75 Ohm BNC Connector. Auxiliary MADI Input for distribution to AUX Outputs. 

Channel A: 

Optical IN/OUT – SC Fibre Connector. Channel A MADI inputs and outputs. This connector takes 
priority over the BNC input when an input is present at both connectors of the same channel. See 
“Modes of Operation” for signal routing information. 

Coax IN/OUT – 75 Ohm BNC Connector. Channel A MADI inputs and outputs. This connector will be 
active only when no signal is present at the optical connection. See “Mode of Operation” for signal 
routing information. 

Channel B: 

Optical IN/OUT – SC Fibre Connector. Channel B MADI inputs and outputs. This connector takes 
priority over the BNC input when an input is present at both connectors of the same channel. See 
“Modes of Operation” for signal routing information. 

Coax IN/OUT – 75 Ohm BNC Connector. Channel B MADI inputs and outputs. This connector will be 
active only when no signal is present at the optical connection. See “Mode of Operation” for signal 
routing information. 

WORDCLOCK IN – 75 Ohm BNC Connector. Input connection for the built in word clock distribution 
amplifier. If connected, the routing core will also switch the MADI signal on a clock edge, in most 
cases resulting in a cleaner and quieter switchover. See “Technical Info” for more information on the 
methods of MADI switching used. Internally terminated to 75 ohms. 

WORDCLOCK OUT 1 – A buffered copy of the word clock signal for connecting to source equipment. 

WORDCLOCK OUT 2 – A buffered copy of the word clock signal for connecting to source equipment. 

REMOTE – 5 Pin Female XLR Connector. Connection point for a remote control box following the 
standard Nemesis remote control protocol. Allows connection of 2 buttons (“A” and “B”) and 2 
indicator lamps (“Lamp A” and “Lamp B”). See “Technical Specifications” for connection pinout.
