Adapter Cables
1/8” Mini-phone to 1/4” Adapters
To connect headphones with an 1/8” (mini-phone) plug to the headphone jack on the
MicroDock, you need a 1/8” to 1/4” adapter. These handy devices are available at
electronic department stores everywhere.
Cinch (RCA) to 1/4” Adapters
Equipment (such as consumer audio gear) which uses Cinch/RCA type connectors can
be connected to the MicroDock using readily available adapter cables. These adapters
can be found at most stores that sell audio equipment.
Digital Cables
Don’t cheap out! Use high quality optical fiber Toslink (ADAT) cables. It’s also a good
idea to keep digital cabling as short as possible (1.5 meters for plastic light pipes; 5
meters for high quality glass fiber light pipes).
Use low-capacitance, video-grade cable for coaxial S/PDIF to avoid data corruption.
AES/EBU to S/PDIF Cable Adapter
This simple adapter cable allows you to receive AES/EBU digital audio via the S/PDIF
input on the E-MU 1010 PCIe card or MicroDock. This cable may also work to connect
S/PDIF out from the 1010 PCIe card (or MicroDock) to the AES/EBU input of other
digital equipment.
