TC electronic SDN BHD x32 - Manual (Page 24)

In this example Digital Konnekt x32 is used in a live
situation as a digital splitter box that routes the signal to
both a laptop computer for recording/play-back, to the PA
system via a master EQ and to a broadcast station.
Connections
•
The main output channels of the digital mixing
console is fed via AES to the AES 1/2 inputs on
Digital Konnekt x32
• AES 3/4 from Digital Konnekt x32 is routed to the PA
• AES 5/6 feeds a broadcast station
• A laptop computer is connected via Firewire for
recording purposes.
In this setup the sample rate is set by the DAW running
on your laptop, but the mixer is set to act as master
clock.
Mixer
In this setup where the mixer acts as master clock, make
sure to set the mixer’s clock to internal. As Digital
Konnekt x32 has excellent sample rate converters via the
DICEII chip you should not hesitate to use the SRC
function.
Master EQ
The master EQ is fed via AES 3/4 from Digital Konnekt
x32. The EQ must be set to external sync.
Broadcast feed
Via AES 5/6 we send the signal to a broadcast section.
