Duplicate AES/EBU output via XLR M connector (duplicates channels 1–2)
Duplicate S/PDIF output via phono connector (replaces any adjacent odd/even pair)
DARS input via XLR F (switchable between AES/EBU input and DARS)
Word clock input on BNC port (switchable termination)
Word clock output on BNC port
Two Dante network ports, configurable as redundant connections or for daisy chaining
IEC power inlet

Digital Performance | |
Supported sample rates | 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 / 176.4 / 192 kHz (-4% / -0.1% / +0.1% / +4.167%) at 24 bit |
Clock sources | Internal or from network master device |
Local clock sources | Internal, DARS, Word Clock, Input 1–2, Input 9–10 |
External word clock range | Nominal sample rate ±7.5% |
Front Panel Indicators | |
Power Indicator | Green LED |
Primary network | Green LED, indicates that a network connection is present on primary port when in redundant mode. When in switched mode, a valid network connection at either Primary or Secondary network port will cause this LED to illuminate |
Secondary network | As Primary network indicator. Not used in switched mode. |
Locked | Green LED. When unit is network slave, shows valid network lock, when network master shows unit is locked to indicated clock source. Flashing means invalid external clock present and unit has reverted to internal clock |
Unit sample rate | Green LED for each: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, x2, x4 |
Pull/up down | Indicates unit is set to operate on a Dante pull up/down domain |
Signal indicators | 16 Green LEDs, 8 input/8 output indicators. Illuminate at -126 dBFS |
Clock source indicators | Orange LED for each: Internal, Word Clock, DARS, Input 1–2, Input 9–10 |
Network Modes | |
Redundant | Allows unit to connect to two independent networks |
Switched | Connects both ports to integrated network switch allowing daisy-chaining of devices |
Power | |
PSU | Internal, 100-240V, consumption 30 VA |
*XLR connectors are wired: Pin 1=Shield, Pin 2=Hot, Pin 3=Cold
