The AES,S/PDIF interfaces
1.
Two types of AES interfaces can be mounted in the ADDA 2408. An 8 channel AES I/O with a D-sub
connector, or the stereo AES / S/PDIF / Optical S/PDIF interface. Both interfaces is single wire at 96
kHz. If both interfaces is mounted in the same unit, the 8 channel AES will identified itself as multi 1
or multi 2.
2.
The 8 channel AES I/O: If you have mounted the 8 channel AES I/O, you probably need a D-SUB to
XLR break-out cable. However if you are using a Merging Pyramix system you can connect the D-
Sub on the ADDA 2408 directly pin wise 1-1 to D-Sub on the Merging system. In order to connect pin
wise 1-1 you need an adapter and an 25 pin D-sub cable.
3.
The stereo AES, S/PDIF, Optical I/O: If you have mounted the stereo AES, S/PDIF / Optical S/PDIF
interface you can chose any of these formats as an input at the AD-DD source button for the different
channels for a maximum of 6 ch. digital inputs. The output of the AES, S/PDIF and Optical S/PDIF
interface will always be the chosen input at channels 1 & 2 at the AD-DD source button. If you need
an AES format mix of all 8 channels you can not use this interface. Instead you must connect an AES
signal to the “L” or AES2 output (to the left on the back panel) use the built in mixer, and set the
monitor output to AES in the monitor menu.
