2.2.2.3. Digital Inputs and Outputs.
The physical connector used is DB15-female. In addition, there is a switch ("7&8") to assign the
second digital input and output to that DB15 female connector or, alternatively, to a USB
connector.
This way, when the switch is in the upper position, the DB15 female connector will include the 2
INPUTS (IN) and the 2 OUTPUTS (OUT), using the following pinout:

- Pin 15: DIGITAL 7-8 OUT -
- Pin 8: GND
Remarks:
-
Each of the two digital audio inputs and outputs include two different audio channels,
according to AES 3 or SPDIF standard. The second one has also two channels in USB
connector when the switch is in the lower position.
-
The first digital input (5-6) synchronizes NETBOX 8 with the source connected to it,
emitting an AES 3/SPDIF or AES 11 formatted stream.
-
The outputs can be used to provide synchronization to other devices that can extract it
from an AES 3 formatted audio stream.
USB Digital input and output 2 (7-8).
When the rear switch is in the lower position, AEQ NETBOX 8 provides the second stereo
digital input through the USB type-B connector labeled "USB". NOTE: The second output is
always available through the DB15 connector as well as through the USB connector, regardless
of the switch position.
