FORMAT CHANGER advanced Rear Panel

1 AES/EBU IN + OUT
These interfaces receive/transmit balanced digital AES/EBU audio signals
based on the specifications of the standard AES 3-1992. The input/output
impedance is 110 Ω (XLR connector, male + female).
2 S/PDIF COAX IN + OUT
These inputs/outputs receive/transmit unbalanced digital S/PDIF audio
signals (coaxial) based on the electrical specifications of the standard IEC
60958. The input/output impedance is 75 Ω. (cinch connectors).
3 S/PDIF OPT IN + OUT
These inputs/outputs receive/transmit digital S/PDIF audio signals (optical)
in accordance with the specifications of the standard IEC 60958 (Toshiba
Toslink connector, EIAJ standard).
4 WC / SC IN + OUT (Word Clock + Word Clock x 256, so-called Super Clock)
This input receives a Word Clock or Word Clock x 256 signal (automatic dif-
ferentiation) for the synchronization of the FORMAT CHANGER advanced.
The incoming clock signal is processed electrically and immediately sent to
the WC/SC output for the synchronization of connected devices. If no exter-
nal clock signal is applied, the WC/SC output provides the sampling rate of
the incoming digital audio signal as the Word Clock frequency. The input/
output impedance is 75 Ω, the input impedance can be disabled internally.
5 230 V (115 V)
This compartment houses the mains fuses, which must be inserted in ac-
cordance with the local voltage used for operating the unit! See also the
safety instructions, in particular, the chapter OPERATION, and the section
»Replacing the Mains Fuse« in the appendix.
6 POWER switch
Mains power switch. Be sure to connect the unit properly to the mains by
using the enclosed power cord and select the country-specific mains volt-
age by inserting a mains fuse of the correct type and rating (5) before you
attempt to operate the unit. Please read the safety instructions.
7 Mains connector
Use this receptacle to connect the enclosed power cord. Be sure to set
the POWER switch to OFF and insert a mains fuse of the correct type and
rating, before you connect the power cord to the unit and/or wall outlet.
The section »Pin Assignment of the Connectors« in the appendix provides
you with information on how to wire the various connecting elements.
