DESCRIPTION

DETAILS

POWER INPUT

IEC 3 prong jack

Accepts power from detachable IEC power cable (100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 25 Watts max). 
Connect only to a grounded power outlet.

S/PDIF OUT

2 x Female RCA

Transmits either AES-3 (audio) or AES-11 (sync) data formatted for unbalanced S/PDIF 
operating levels. Functionally identical to AES OUT.

AES OUT

4 x Male XLRs

Transmits either AES-3 (audio) or AES-11 (sync).  When the SYNC SOURCE is set to AES 
and the OUTPUT switch matches the rate of the incoming AES source, then the AES output 
format follows the input format and the GENx192 acts as a 1x2 or 1x4 AES distributor.  

WORD CLOCK OUT

8 x Female BNCs

Transmits phase-aligned CMOS-level word clock signals.

AES IN

Female XLR

Accepts single-wire AES-3 or AES-11 signals at sample rates between 28 and 216 kHz.

WORD CLOCK IN

Female BNC

Accepts TTL or CMOS-level word clock signals from 28 to 216 kHz.

TERM (Switch)

Push Button Toggle Switch

Enables or defeats Word Clock input termination. (Green “TERM” LED beneath the switch 
indicates proper Word Clock input termination.)

TERM

9 x Bi-color LEDs

Displays the condition of the word clock input or output signal using voltage level sensing 
to determine whether or not the signal is present, is operating at the correct levels, and is 
terminated properly.  An amber LED indicates an overvoltage or underterminated condition; 
for outputs, it can also indicate that no connection to a receiving device has been made.  
A red LED indicates an undervoltage or overterminated condition; for the input, it can also 
indicate that no connection to a source device has been made. 
A green LED indicates optimal signal conditions with proper voltage and termination.  
However, because less is known about the word clock input signal than the output (due to 
variances in standards and methods employed for generating word clock amongst the vari-
ous equipment manufacturers) the tolerance range for the input is much less restrictive for 
the input than the output to accommodate all possible valid conditions.
