The Computer Connector
On the rear panel of the interface box is a connector labeled
COMPUTER
. It is
the point at which the audio interface connects to the Echo3G PCI card inside your
computer.
An Echo3G connector cable was supplied to you for this purpose. This custom
made cable is manufactured to certain specifications; if you need to replace it, you
should only use a replacement cable from Echo.
ADAT / S/PDIF Optical I/O
Next to the
COMPUTER
connector is a pair of connectors labeled
OPTICAL,
IN
and
OUT
. These connectors are used to transmit digital audio data via an optical
signal using special digital optical cables with Toslink connectors.
You can use this port for ADAT (8 channels) or for optical S/PDIF (stereo) I/O.
Note:
Your Echo3G product is only capable of transmitting or receiving one
type of digital signal at a time. You must choose either ADAT optical or
S/PDIF (optical or RCA); you cannot use both simultaneously. This is set
using the
Digital Mode Switch
, which can be found in the Echo Console.
For more information, refer to the section of this manual that discusses the
console software.
