7. Operation and Usage

 

 
Switch on the computer and boot the OS. The green LED on the AEBx-I is lit when the power 
supply is present. 
 

DIGI96 series

 

 
Start the Settings dialog of the DIGI96/8 series, select the internal input (Input 'Internal'), set 
Clock Mode to 'Master'. The Input Status must now show 'ADAT, 44.1 kHz, Internal' (or 48 
kHz). In case 'No Lock' is shown either the sample rate at the card's output is below 44.1 kHz 
(see Output Status), or the AEB is not connected correctly. 
 

Hammerfall series and HDSP 9652

 

 
Start the Settings dialog of the Hammerfall, select the internal input (AEB 'ADAT1 Internal'), set 
Clock Mode to 'Master'. The Input Status in the field SyncCheck must now show 'ADAT1 In 
SYNC'. In case 'Lock' or 'No Lock' is shown either the sample rate at the card's output is 32 kHz 
(see Sync Ref., Freq.), or the AEB is not connected correctly. 
 
 

Note

 

 
The AEB gets its clock directly from the output of the DIGI card. To avoid a clock loop the card 
has to be set into 'Master' mode. 
 

 

8. Channel Routing AEB4-I

 

 

The AEB4-I copies all 4 analog input signals to the corresponding channels 5-8. Therefore for 
example the first two channels can also be recorded using the wave device 5/6. 
 
 

9. Pin assignment of the TRS jacks

 

 

The analog inputs are accessible through stereo ¼" TRS jacks. 
 
The 

AEB4-I

 is fitted with electronically balanced, single channel inputs (+ = tip). The servo 

balanced input circuit allows to use monaural TS jacks (unbalanced) with no loss in level. 
 
The 

AEB8-I

 is fitted with unbal-

anced stereo inputs. Use an 
adapter TRS plug to coaxial 
(phono) plugs, or TRS plug to TS 
plugs (see drawing to the right) for 
connection to external equipment. 
We recommend to use so called 
'insert' cables. 
 
The pin assignment follows interna-
tional standards. The left channel is 
connected to the tip, the right chan-
nel to the ring of the TRS jack/plug.
