5 Using the Audio Converters
Sections 5.1 and 5.2 describe how to connect the 6410N Digital to Analog
Audio Converter and the 6420N Analog to Digital Audio Converter,
respectively.
5.1 Connecting the 6410N Digital to Analog Audio Converter
To connect your 6410N Digital to Analog Audio Converter, as illustrated in
the example in Figure 6, do the following 1 :
1. Connect up to four sources to the four digital input connectors, as follows:
Connect an AES-75 source (for example, a DAT-Player) to the
AES-75 BNC input connector
Connect an AES/EBU source (for example, a DAT-Player) to the
AES/EBU detachable terminal block input connector using a shielded
twisted pair cable
Connect an S/PDIF source (for example, a DVD Player) to the S/PDIF
RCA input connector
Connect an optical source (for example, a CD Player) to the optical
input connector
2. Connect up to two analog acceptors, as follows:
Connect the ANALOG OUT LEFT and RIGHT detachable terminal
block connectors via shielded twisted pair cables to an analog balanced
stereo acceptor (for example, an amplifier with a pair of loudspeakers)
If required, connect the PHONES 3.5mm output jack to a headphone
set 2
3. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 6).
4. Set the conversion ratio on the underside of the unit

.
1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your 6410N. After connecting your 6410N, switch on its
power and then switch on the power on each device
2 The headphone output is usually used for diagnostics and setup of the audio system. It is recommended to disconnect the
headphones (or to minimize the headphone volume level) when not in use
3 It is essential that you choose the correct conversion ratio to prevent clipping, and to maintain the S/N ratio within the spec
limits. The selection of the conversion rate greatly depends on the type of audio played, and also on the audio equipment that
is connected to the 6410N
