The Host Connector
Next to the analog inputs and outputs is a connector labeled
HOST
. This
connector is known as a DB-25, and is commonly used on PCs for the
printer port. It is the point at which the audio interface connects to the Layla
PCI card inside your computer.
A cable was supplied with your Layla for this purpose. This cable is
manufactured to certain specifications, and if necessary, should only be
replaced with a cable that meets specification IEEE-1284. Layla is designed
for use with cables of up to 15 feet in length. Cables in excess of 15 feet
may cause loss of data and/or diminished system performance.
S/PDIF
Next to the
Host
connector is a pair of connectors labeled
S/PDIF in
and
out
. S/PDIF is used to transmit digital data among digital audio devices.
S/PDIF data can use the full 24-bit sample width used internally on Layla.
When connecting devices to the S/PDIF jacks on Layla, the use of standard
RCA audio cables is not recommended. For reliable S/PDIF operation,
75ohm coaxial (RG59) video cables are recommended.
