Documentation Terms Overview The 9262 is an AES/EBU digital to analog audio converter designed for broadcast use. It provides digital to analog audio conversion along with AES/EBU signal distribution. The 9262 supports audio sampling frequencies from 30kHz to 192 kHz. It converts the incoming AES/EBU digital audio signal to a stereo analog audio signal using 24 bit conversion technology.
Figure 1. Simplified Block Diagram of the 9262 Functions Features The following features make the 9262 the best solution for digital to analog audio conversion. • Converts AES/EBU digital to analog audio while providing AES/EBU signal distribution • Cable equalization and data reclocking on the incoming AES/EBU signal •...
Unpacking Unpack each 9262 you received from the shipping container, and check the contents against the packing list to ensure that all items are included. If any items are missing or damaged, contact your sales representative or Cobalt Digital Inc. directly.
If you are installing the card into a slot with no rear module, you should have ordered and received one of the RM-9262-B module.

EQ Switch — SW1 The EQ Switch (SW1) is used to insert the cable equalizer into the incoming AES/EBU signal. The 9262 can recover digital audio signals conforming to AES/EBU specifications and transmitted over 75ohm, coaxial cable, up to 600 metres (2000 ft) long without equalization. For cable lengths in excess of 600 metres, we recommend that the input equalization be activated.
