Page 4: Introduction
Introduction What are SoundPals? Each Simlatus Corporation SoundPals module is essentially a digital audio building block that can be used independently, or interconnected to perform more advanced mixing and audio processing functions. SoundPals can be used in both standalone and system configurations: In a “standalone”... -
Page 5: Unpacking And Inspection
SoundPals are delivered with a power connector only. A separate power supply must be obtained. Simlatus Corporation offers several power solutions for both domestic and international customers. Refer to “External Power” for detailed power specifications for users who wish to configure their own power source, rather than purchase one from Simlatus. -
Page 6: About The Da-14
DA-14 About the DA-14 The Simlatus Corporation SoundPals DA-14 is a one-input, four-output “data regenerator” for distributing AES digital audio signals. Two versions of the DA-14 are available: Model A • The DA-14/A provides four balanced AES3 outputs on XLR connectors. - Page 7 The figure below illustrates the DA-14’s rear panel. 200mA AES OUT 1 AES OUT 2 AES OUT 3 AES OUT 4 1) DA-14 Model — the printed legend indicates the model: A (AES, balanced) or B (AES3id, unbalanced) NOTE The Model A (with balanced XLRs) is shown above. The Model B provides unbalanced BNC connectors.

Page 8: Installation
DA-14 Installation This section provides instructions for connecting power, digital inputs, and digital outputs. Connecting Power Plug a 6 VDC power supply into the appropriate voltage outlet for your specific country, and connect the end of the cord into the DA-14 rear panel jack marked +6V. Secure the locking ring finger tight. -
Page 9: Operation And Application
DA-14 Operation and Application Because of the fundamental simplicity of the DA-14, there are no operating procedures apart from applying an input signal, connecting outputs, and applying power. There are no level adjustments, as the unit puts out a standard level. In addition, no reference is required as the DA-14 locks to the AES input signal. -

10 – 90% RH non-condensing Inside the Module In This Section This section provides instructions for opening and closing the SoundPals DA-14 module to gain access to the internal circuit board. NOTE The internal circuit board should only be removed from the module if you want to reset the jumpers. -
Page 15: Closing The Module
Closing the Module Use the following steps to close the DA-14 module: 1. Ensure that product label is on the bottom. 2. Carefully slide the internal circuit board and rear panel assembly through the housing. If BNC connectors are present, keep the case horizontal so that the bushings stay with the connectors. -
Page 16: External Power
External Power About Power Supplies An external power supply conforming to the specifications listed in the following “Power Supply Specifications” section must be used to guarantee that published SoundPals performance figures are met. Any power supply meeting these specifications will supply adequate power for a single SoundPals module.
