3.4 Signal inputs
The LINUS5-C amplifier offers two different input signal sources:
- Analog:
In this mode the analog signals connected to the XLR input connectors will be used as input signal. There are
additional RJ45 connectors for analog connections. These are wired parallel to the XLR inputs.
- AES/EBU:
With the AES/EBU setting the input signals are taken from the RJ45 connection.
3.4.1 Analog input
XLR:
Pin 1 = Ground (to chassis/earth)
Pin 2 = Hot (in polarity, “+”)
Pin 3 = Cold (out of polarity, “ - “)
We suggest to always use symmetrically (balanced) shielded cable to connect the amplifier.

3.4.2 LiNET-C AES/EBU input/output
The AES/EBU input and output connectors allow you to receive and send multichannel digital audio streams to other
AES/EBU-compatible devices (like other LINUS5-C amplifiers for example). Please note that although the AES/EBU and
Ethernet connectors use the same connector type (RJ45), the physical transmission protocols are different. So any direct
connection between the AES/EBU connectors and standard Ethernet con nectors will not work. Digital Audio Input (AES/
EBU) via LINET Master/Switch or ATEC allows to daisy chain up to four (4) devices on short cable lengths (double shielded
Cat6 cable, max. 30 cm).
