(AES/EBU)
If using the PWR-ICE with digital input, connect a balanced AES/EBU cable to Digital IN. The amplifier must be
configured for digital input (see
). (This socket also functions as analog input channel 2 when
the amplifier is configured for analog input.)
To connect equipment with only a single-ended (S/PDIF coax) output, we recommend using a transformer-based
adapter such as those available from companies such as Neutrik, Canare and Switchcraft.
When the amplifier is in digital input mode and a digital input signal is connected, the input signal is buffered
and presented on the Digital Out connector. This can be linked to a second amplifier. This is typically used for
connecting the second amplifier of a pair (e.g. left and right), or for adding a subwoofer.
Note that the signal on Digital Out is a buffered version of the signal presented to Digital IN – that is, there is no
resampling or reclocking of the digital signal. Multiple PWR-ICE amplifiers can therefore be daisy-chained to
build more complex system configurations without signal degradation.
If the amplifier is set to analog input, there is no signal on the Digital Out.
