If the speaker is being fed with an analogue signal the through output will
send a digitised version of that analogue signal on both channels (L and R)
of the AES3 output. If the input is an AES3 signal, the through output carries
the same two channels (L and R) at 96kHz.
N.B. The maximum recommended number of speakers in one chain is 4.
Analogue & Digital Input
4
An XLR3f input socket receives both balanced analogue signals and AES3
digital signals. The required input format is selected through the rotary
encoders or the SoundAlign network interface.
If the input is an AES3 digital signal whilst the monitor speaker is configured
to receive analogue signals, the speaker will emit a sound like low-level
pink-noise. This is not a fault and will cause no harm to the speaker.
Analogue input signals are sampled at 96kHz, while an AES3 digital input
can have any sample rate between 18kHz and 192kHz. An asynchronous
sample rate converter provides a 96kHz signal for the DSP engine and the
through output.
Expansion Card Slot
5
An expansion card slot provides a capability to support alternative input
format interfaces in the future.
The expansion card slot does not support hot-plugging and only detects
installed cards during boot-up. Disconnect the speaker from the mains
supply before removing the expansion card blanking cover or an installed
expansion card. Ensure that an expansion card or the expansion card
blanking cover is fitted and secured in place before reconnecting the
speaker to the mains supply.

Network Connector
RJ-45 Ethernet connector to enable network control of the speaker's
DSP settings through the SoundAlign web interface. The speaker can be
connected to any normal LAN network; it does not need its own separate
network or any special network hardware, and speaker control and
configuration data will happily co-exist with other network data. No audio
is passed over the network interface. If no LAN is available, this port can be
connected directly to a PC or Mac to use the SoundAlign interface.
