These 2-Track digital connections are used for input and out-
put of digital audio material, which can be routed to the Main
bus. Stereo AES/EBU or S/PDIF I/O connectors are selectable
with the AES–SPDIF switch. These connectors support 24-bit,
48 kHz digital signals. Input signals with other sample rates
are sample-rate converted to 48 kHz.
