Analog audio connections

The DV-RA1000HD can accept and output both bal-
anced +4 dBu nominal and unbalanced –10 dBV nomi-
nal signals.
Use the XLR jacks, wired as 1=ground, 2=hot, 3=cold

Digital audio connections

The DV-RA1000HD can accept digital audio data from
one of three sources, each corresponding to a differ-
ent audio format, and can output digital data from the
equivalent type of connector, and in the same format as
it receives data.
AES/EBU
Note that while AES/EBUs connections
usually use one XLR connector for a stereo pair, the
DV-RA1000HD is provided with two connectors for
input and output.
NOTE
Strictly speaking, the format used by these connec-
tors is called IEC-0-, or AES--1.
When working in Sampling Frequency 88.2/96 kHz
mode, there is an option of either using one XLR con-
nector at double speed (double-speed), or two connec-
tors, each at normal speed (double-wire). If only one
XLR connector is being used, connections should be
made only to XLR connector 1 (input and output).

Figure 3.1: Rear panel connections
for balanced connections, and the RCA (pin) jacks for
unbalanced connections.
On playback or monitoring, audio is always output from
both sets of connectors in parallel.
In Sampling Frequency 176.4/192 kHz mode, both con-
nectors are used at double speed (double-speed and
double-wire).
S/PDIF
on the rear panel. The format is S/PDIF (IEC60958).
These jacks can accept and transmit data at Sampling
Frequency 44.1/48 kHz mode or at Sampling Frequency
88.2/96 kHz mode.
SDIF-3/DSD-raw
output digital audio data in SDIF-3 (DSD-Raw) format.
Each connector carries one channel of the stereo pair.
CAUTION
When using DSD connections, all digital audio units
in the system, including the DV-RA1000HD, must
be synchronized to a common clock signal. On the
DV-RA1000HD, if this signal is external, a .1 kHz
signal should be supplied at the
minal. Alternatively, the DV-RA1000HD can be set
to act as the system clock master, at .1 kHz, with
the DSD audio source acting as the clock slave. (See
"Selecting the reference clock" on page .)
