1)
AES Balanced Input
— the
AES IN
XLR connector accepts a balanced AES input
signal.
2)
AES Unbalanced Input
— the
AES IN
BNC connector accepts an unbalanced AES
input signal.
NOTE:
Do not connect both AES inputs at the same time.
3)
Right Channel Analog Output
— provides decoded right channel output at analog line
level, adjustable via
R GAIN
on the front panel.
4)
Left Channel Analog Output
— provides decoded left channel output at analog line
level, adjustable via
L GAIN
on the front panel.
DAC-24 Installation
This section provides instructions for connecting power, AES inputs, and analog outputs.
Connecting Power
Plug a 6 VDC power supply into the appropriate voltage outlet for
your specific country
, and
connect the end of the cord into the DAC-24 jack marked
+6V
. Secure the locking ring finger
tight. The green LED below the jack lights when power is applied.
Connecting Inputs
Connect a digital input signal, between 30 KHz and 50 KHz sampling frequency, to one of the two
inputs marked
AES IN
. The
ERR
LED on the front panel will light until a valid input signal is
applied.
NOTE
Do not connect both AES inputs at the same time.
The inputs are normally terminated internally with 110
Ω
(AES3) and 75
Ω
(AES3id). When you
need to loop an input signal to several SoundPals, the signal must be terminated
only once
, and
always at the last unit in the chain. Refer to the “
DAC-24 Internal Jumpers
” section for
information on changing the input termination.
