CONNECTIONS
5. Once you have completed
the necessary
input
and output
connections,
select
the input of your choice.
For each input
selected,
the corresponding
LED will illuminate.
When a powered
digital
input source and the Processor have linked,
the SYNC LED
will illuminate.
DIGITAL SOURCE TO D/A PROCESSOR INTERLINK CONSID
~,
ERATIONS
Care should be taken in selecting the type of cable used to link the
digital
source to your Processor.
We suggest
the AT&T wide-
bandwidth
fiber
optic
cable
be used.
The AT&T format has a
bandwidth of approximately
50 MegaBit. This allows accurate
transmission
of the digital
bit stream without data corruption
and proves to be sonically
superior.
If the AT&T format is not
available,
a high quality quartz fiber optic cable (TOSH format)
can work well. Using a fiber optic interconnect
reduces ground
loop problems often associated
with quality
audio systems.
If coaxial cable is used, it should be non-capacitive
and have a
bandwidth in excess of 10MHz to prevent
drop-out
errors.
For
best
results
with coaxial
cable
we recommend the AES/EBU
balanced
format.
The AES/EBU format is a + 5 volt
balanced
digital
transmission.
Because of the high voltage balanced for-
mat, this
system allows for accurate
data transmission
and has
great
sonic advantages
over standard
single-ended
coaxial
or
Tosh fiber
optic terminations.
The AES/EBU coaxial
cable must
have two conductors
and a shield
for balanced termination.
