21.9 Connector Pinouts
The 25 pin D-sub connector provides four AES inputs and outputs. The pinout uses the widely
spread Tascam scheme, which is also used by Digidesign.

GND is connected to pins 2, 5, 8, 11, 16, 19, 22, 25. Pin 13 is not connected.
The Yamaha pinout is quite popular as well. When building a D-sub to D-sub adapter or con-
nection cable, please make sure that the connectors are clearly labelled with
Tascam and Ya-
maha . The cable can only be used when the Tascam side is connected to a Tascam connector,
and the Yamaha side is connected to a Yamaha connector.
