Wiring the AES/EBU and S/P-DIF Interfaces
Connect the AES/EBU interfaces with the help of balanced electrical cables
equipped with XLR connectors on both ends. The specifications stipulate a
specific cable resistance of 110 Ω (ask your retailer for a confirmation of this
value when purchasing the cables).
Connect the coaxial S/P-DIF interface with the help of unbalanced electri-
cal cables equipped with cinch connectors on both ends. The specifications
stipulate a specific cable resistance of 75 Ω (ask your retailer for a confirma-
tion of this value when purchasing the cables).
Connect the optical S/P-DIF interface with the help of Toshiba TOSLINK™
compliant optical fiber cables. Here, you can use both plastic and glass
fiber-based cables. When using plastic fiber cables, lengths of 10 meters
should not be exceeded, so as to ensure the reliable transmission of signals.
Glass fiber cables can transfer data reliably even over greater distances.
Especially when working with high
AES/EBU clock rates well shielded
clock lines are imperative to avoid
increased radiation! Standard cables are nor-
mally useable for clock rates up to 50.0kHz.
Special shielded cable material should be
used for transfer of higher clock rates.
!
MUTEC offers optical cables of various
lengths that have been specifically tested
for the transmission of S/P-DIF and ADAT™
signals (retailers and distributors only)!
Since some manufacturers offer optimized
cables for the transmission of digital S/P-DIF
and AES/EBU audio signals, it will be a good
idea to ask your retailer for specific cables.
