WORD CLOCK IN connector
This BNC connector is used to connect an external wordclock source. Normally, the
DA824 locks to a wordclock signal derived from the SLOT digital audio inputs, but
when a usable wordclock signal is present at the WORD CLOCK IN connector, this is
used instead. See “Wordclocks” on page 8 for more information.

These male XLR-3-32 type connectors and 1/4" phone jack (TRS) connectors are the
analog outputs for each channel. Both types of connector are electronically balanced.
XLR connectors are wired as follows: pin-1 ground, pin-2 hot (+), and pin-3 cold (–).
When using both the XLR and phone jack output of a channel at the same time, ensure
that the total load is greater than 600
Ω
.
