Input connections
Analog Inputs
Analog inputs are available on two standard XLR-F latching
connectors. The inputs are electronically balanced. The impedance is
20 kohms, and the inputs can accept a maximum input level of +26
dBu.
Polarity is as follows:
Pin 1
= screen (shield),
pin 2
= positive (+),
pin 3
= negative (-).
Analog Links
Two latching XLR-M connectors are adjacent to the analog
input connectors and are paralleled to the input connectors to
provide an unprocessed analog loop-through to feed additional
D
A05 and DA06
units or other equipment.
AES3 Inputs
A latching XLR-F connector accepts an AES3 digital audio signal. Input
impedance is 110 ohms. (Ensure that 110 ohm digital audio cables
are used; standard XLR microphone cables are rarely suitable for
reliable digital audio transmission.)
AES3 is a stereo digital format, and therefore both inputs are fed via
a single connector. Selection of the analog or digital inputs is made
via the front panel display or IntelliDrive Controller software.
AES3 Link
A latching XLR-M connector is fi tted adjacent to the AES3 input
connector. This is an active link which sends an unprocessed
AES3 loop-thru to feed additional DA units. The design requires
no termination load when the unit is the last connected.
Output connections
Two types of power output connections are available on
the
DA05 and DA06
amplifi ers: Neutrik speakON and binding post.
The two types are connected in parallel. Loudspeakers may be
connected to both at the same time, but this is generally not
recommended as total impedance may be too low.
Binding Posts
Power outputs for loudspeaker connection are available on two
fully enclosed binding posts. Observe signal polarity as indicated.
speakON Connectors
Outputs for both channel 1 and channel 2 are available on a four-
pole speakON connector to the left. The two-pole speakON to
the right connect to output 2 only. See diagram for output
connection and polarity.

NOTE!
When connecting wiring to Speaker Terminals, the
installation shall be made by an instructed person or ready-made
leads or cords shall be used
Bridge Mode
Th
e DA05 and DA06
employs an inherently bridged Class D output
topology; Under no circumstances should the DA Amplifi er be
bridged, this may cause undesired operating performance.
Rear panel
The following connectors are available on the rear panel:
1 ANALOG INPUTS and LINK - XLR-F input connectors provided for
each channel, with XLR-M link output connectors.
2 AES3 INPUT and LINK – AES3 digital inputs are on an XLR-F
connector with a link output on an XLR-M connector.
3 NETWORK (Ethernet) – An RJ45 jack is supplied for connection to
an Ethernet network for external control and monitoring, either by a
direct wired connection or via an external WiFi router to an iPad or
tablet. LEDs below the connector indicate valid network connection
(LINK) and network activity (ACT).

4 speakON OUTPUT CONNECTORS – Both channel outputs are
available on a four-pole connector at the left; either channel 1 or
both channels 1 and 2 may be connected. Only channel 2 is
available on the connector to the right.
5 BINDING POST CONNECTORS – Connectors for channel 1 and
channel 2.
6 AC LINE INPUT – A locking IEC receptacle accepts the AC line
input, 50 Hz or 60 Hz, 100 V – 240 V. Use an IEC cable with the
proper connector for country of use.
