Digital Stereo In
The 03D features both AES/EBU and COAX-
IAL-type digital stereo inputs. Only one connection
can be used at a time. The XLR-3-31-type connec-
tor accepts AES/EBU format digital audio, while the
COAXIAL connector accepts Consumer format
digital audio. Signals input here can be fed to the
stereo input channel or directly to the Stereo bus for
stereo cascade operation.
1. Use the [DIO] button to locate the D.in Setup page shown below.
2. Use the cursor buttons to select the STEREO INPUT ASSIGN options, and
the [ENTER] button to set them.
If you are using a mouse, simply click the options.
SELECT —This switch is used to select the digital input connection: AES/EBU or
COAXIAL. Only one connection can be used at a time.
FLIP —This switch flips the digital stereo input signal to the stereo input channel and
the analog stereo input signal to the Stereo bus.
ON/OFF —This switch turns the stereo cascade feed to the Stereo bus on and off. The
source of the stereo cascade signal is determined by the SELECT and FLIP options.
Solo
The stereo cascade signal can be monitored using solo. See Monitoring on page 74 for
more information.
Emphasis
When a digital audio signal containing emphasis is connected to the digital stereo
input, the 03D automatically detects it and de-emphasizes as necessary. Once a signal
has been de-emphasized, it’s processed and output by the 03D without emphasis. The
03D cannot apply emphasis to digital output signals.
Note: When the AES/EBU or Coaxial DIGITAL STEREO IN connection is used, to pre-
vent noise the sending device and 03D must be wordclock synchronized.
