Un-balanced Input / Output Connections
Un-balanced connections can be made to the Dx46, although induced noise from cabling may be increased. Cables
should also be less than 15' (5 m) in length. Unbalanced connections can be 6dB lower in level as well. To match
the audio level obtained with a balanced connection, it is necessary to tie pin 3 to ground at the XLR connector. This
may increase noise.
A C (AES/EBU)
UDIO ABLE
A digital AES/EBU input (AES3) is provided in addition to the analog input. The digital input signal has to be con-
nected to the AES/EBU INPUT connector. The AES/EBU input is a balanced transformer-isolated input. A sam-
pling rate converter translates the input signal to match the internal sampling rate. The XLR jacks provided on the
Dx46 are configured as pin 1 ground, pin 2 hot (+), pin 3 cold (-). Cable shielding must be connected to pin 1. XLR
– XLR cables or ¼" tip-ring-sleeve – XLR cables can both be used for balanced connections to the Dx46.
HINT: Connections must be made with three conductor, 110-Ohm, twisted pair cabling.
E
THERNET
By connecting the Dx46 via the Ethernet interface, communication between the Dx46 and one or several PCs is
possible. This allows the configuration of Dx46 via IRIS-Net software. The Ethernet interface on the rear of Dx46 is
a RJ-45 connector (8P8C). Both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Ethernet standards are supported.
Status LEDs
The status of the Ethernet interface is indicated by a orange and a green LED. If the Ethernet interface is not used
both LEDs are off. The orange Link LED a the left side of the Ethernet interface lights, when the Dx46 has estab-
lished a Ethernet connection to another device, e.g. another Dx46 or an Ethernet switch. The green network traffic
LED at the right side of the Ethernet interface lights when sending or receiving a data packet.
