The EC-1 expansion card is designed for use only with M20 software version 1.11 or higher. If your M20 has a lower software version, contact Alesis Technical Support at (800) 5-ALESIS or visit our web site at www.alesis.com to download the latest M20 software in the form of a... -
Page 7: Overview Of Main Functions
VERVIEW OF AES/EBU D BOUT The AES/EBU protocol is the most common professional standard for transmitting digital audio. It is a two-channel protocol designed for stereo pairs, so transmitting from the eight-channel ADAT M20 requires the use of four sets of AES/EBU jacks: four XLR male jacks for output, and four XLR female jacks for input. -

EC-1 AES/EBU Interface, Appendix E NSTALLATION RECAUTIONS Install the EC-1 only if you have had some experience with similar devices and feel competent to do so. If the following instructions are not clear to you, have your dealer or a trained technician install it for you. Hazardous voltages are present within the chassis. -
Page 9: Basic Operation
The I/O CARD option will appear in the display only if an I/O card (such as the Alesis EC-1 card) is installed in the M20. With the EC-1 card installed, pressing the Digital Source button (next to the meter display) toggles through the available sources, such as ADAT OPTICAL, TRACK COPY, and I/O CARD. -

EC-1 AES/EBU Interface, Appendix E Once again, we must remind you: if independent (non-synchronous) AES/EBU sources are connected to the EC-1 card, audio cannot be monitored (or recorded) simultaneously since the clock for each input channel pair is independent. When monitoring AES/EBU digital audio from more than one channel pair, all of the AES/EBU sources must be synchronous, i.e., controlled by the same sample clock. -
Page 11: If The Input Selection Is Analog And Aes/Ebu Simultaneously
Note: The above illustrations assume that the source tracks of the M20 are set to receive digital input (as shown by a “D” under the meter for each track). F THE INPUT SELECTION IS ANALOG AND SIMULTANEOUSLY If you have INPUT SELECT configured for analog and AES/EBU input, input routing must use the one-to-one configuration. - Page 12 EC-1 AES/EBU Interface, Appendix E E-10 EC-1 M 1.00 ANUAL...
