AES/EBU Digital Input & Output - To record digitally from another digital device, connect it’s
AES/EBU output to this Input. The AES/EBU In always receives 24-bit audio. To send output from
POD X3 to another device digitally, connect from this AES/EBU Output to the AES/EBU In on your
other device. Connecting digitally is the best choice for routing to external digital recording devices,
such as a DAT recorder, digital video player, digital mixing board, etc. The AES/EBU output sends out
the Tone(s) according to your device settings - these options are found on the POD X3 device itself
by pressing the “Outputs” button (these digital I/O options are not accessible in GearBox). The digital
signal is always sent at 24-bit resolution. For more information on using these digital connections,
