A Digital audio input terminals
These terminals input digital audio. Connect these terminals
to the corresponding terminals on a digital device (for
example, P-01, P-03 or P-05 etc.).
Use commercially available cables for the following
connections.
XLR: Use a balanced XLR digital audio cable
RCA: Use an RCA coaxial digital cable
OPTICAL: Use an optical digital cable
i.LINK (AUDIO): Use S400 compatible 6-pin or 4-pin
i.LINK cable (IEEE 1394 cable)
To input a digital signal from a Super Audio CD,
connect to an Esoteric CD transport (P-01/P-03/P-05)
using an i.LINK cable.
< The i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal is a combined input and output
cable interface. You don't need to be concerned with
distinguishing between inputs and outputs.
< XLR is a Dual AES terminal. If your digital device supports
Dual AES, use two XLR cables to connect XLR1 (L) on this
unit to the L-terminal on the digital device and the XLR2 (R)
terminal to the R-terminal on the digital device.
B
Analog audio output terminals (LINE
OUT)
Outputs analog audio.
Use two commercially available balanced XLR cables to
connect the XLR terminals to an amplifier.
If the amplifier is not equipped with XLR audio input
terminals, use two commercially available RCA audio cables
for making connections.
C
Word sync input/output terminal (WORD
SYNC)
Outputs/inputs a synchronizing signal.
Connect the WORD SYNC IN terminal to the word clock
output terminal on a G-0Rb, G-03X or other word clock
generator.
Connect the WORD SYNC OUT terminal to the WORD SYNC
IN on a digital device.
Use a commercially available BNC coaxial digital cable
(impedance: 75 ohm).
D GND terminal
Connecting the ground terminals on the CD transport unit
and the amplifier to ground using a commercially available
ground cable may improve the sound quality.
< Note that this is not an electrical safety ground (earth).
E
Power cord
Connect the power cord to the power cord receptacle and
connect the power plug to a AC wall outlet when all other
connections have been made.
< Use only the supplied power cord. Use of other power cords
may result in fire or electric shock. Unplug the power cord
when you are not going to use the unit for some time.
Esoteric uses Esoteric MEXCEL stress-free 7N cable as
