Audio Input Connectors- All audio connections are fully balanced and wired: pin-1 to ground (as required by the AES48
standard), pin-2 hot & pin-3 cold. If an unbalanced source is used, a connection should be made between the pin-3 'cold'
signal and the ground connection at the source end. When AES3 operation is selected on an input pair, the Odd channel
connector is used for both channels (e.g. Input 1 is used for channels 1 and 2).
Audio Output Connectors- The processed outputs are impedance balanced, and wired: pin-1 directly bonded to ground
(as required by the AES48 standard), pin-2 hot and pin-3 cold. An unbalanced input may be driven by connecting pin 3
'cold' to the ground connection at the source end. When AES3 operation is selected on an output pair, the Odd channel
connector is used for both channels (e.g. Input 1 is used for channels 1 and 2).
Auxiliary Port- The auxiliary port is used for recalling the first three snapshots.
Ethernet Communications Port- EM Acoustics DSC48 processor may be controlled entirely from another controller,
typically a Personal Computer, running an application that is compliant with the ObCom standard such as PodWare.
Connection will normally be made to the controller via this Ethernet port connector. This port is also used for updating
the firmware in the unit.
Networked Audio Ports- The DSC48 has the option for networked audio ports; if none are required a blanking plate will
be fitted. There are several options for networked audio including Dante™ and AVB™. For a full list please consult your
vendor.
Power Inlet- The EM Acoustics DSC48 unit should be connected to a suitable mains electricity supply using an earthed
IEC C14 connection power lead. The processor has a switch mode power supply that is capable of operating with a
nominal mains voltage of 85V to 240V, 50/60Hz without re-configuration.
NOTE: The DSC48 must be earthed to a suitable power earth; failure to do so may affect performance and/or operation
and will invalidate warranty and could be potentially hazardous.
