Placing the Device
The unit should be set up as closely as possible to the devices to which it will be connected with to avoid excessive cable
lengths. The four custom-designed case feets include a rubber ring to protect the ground’s surface from being damaged.
The device can be mounted into a standard 19“ rack and will require one unit. Therefore, we offer an optional rack mounting
kit, called MW-05/19. This includes two rack angles which need to be screwed at each side of the device‘s case. Before moun-
ting the device into a 19“ rack, please unscrew the four rubber feets with a suitable screwer. Install the device so that one unit
of rack space is left free both above and below the device to allow for sufficient ventilation! Additional slide-in rails on the
rack inside are recommended for safe installation. This will also avoid long-term mechanical deformation of the housing.
Attention
Before installing the unit the section Safety Instructions located at the beginning of this manual should be read carefully!
Never expose the device and accessories to rain, moisture, direct sunlight, or excessive heat produced by radiators, heaters, or
spot lights! Sufficient air circulation in the environment of the device must be ensured!
Wiring the Interfaces
AES/EBU
Connect the AES/EBU interfaces with the help of balanced electrical cables equipped with XLR connectors on both ends. The speci-
fications stipulate a specific cable impedance of 110Ω (ask your retailer for a confirmation of this value when buying the cables).
AES/EBUid
Connect the coaxial AES/EBUid interfaces with help of unbalanced electrical cables equipped with BNC connectors on both
ends. The specifications stipulate a specific cable impedance of 75 Ω. Typically, such cables are marked with »RG-59U,
RG59B/U«. Ask your retailer for his confirmation when buying the cables.
S/P-DIF
Two coaxial S/P-DIF interfaces are available, one based on standard RCA, the other one based on BNC connectors. Connect
these interfaces with help of unbalanced electrical cables equipped with RCA respectively BNC connectors on both ends. The
specifications stipulate a specific cable impedance of 75 Ω for both. Ask your retailer for a confirmation of this value when
buying the cables.
Connect the optical S/P-DIF interface with the help of Toshiba TOSLINK™ compliant optical fiber cables. You can use both
plastic and glass fiber-based cables.
