Making Physical Connections
The z-K6 has three AES/EBU inputs and three AES/EBU outputs. These input/output pairs are
labeled input /output 1/2, input/output 3/4, and input/output 5/6.
In order to assure perfectly synchronous timing between channel pairs, we require that you use an
AES/EBU distribution amplifier (for example, a Z-Systems Digital Detangler) and feed the same
stereo input signal to all three AES/EBU inputs. When the unit detects a valid input stream, the
corresponding validity indicator on the front panel will illuminate, indicating the presence of
signal.
The outputs from the z-K6 are as follows:
1/2: Left and right front
3/4: Left and right surround
5/6: Center and LFE (sub)
Please don't forget the warning from the front-cover of this document:
The z-K6 does not auto-detect the input sample rate. You must select the sample rate
manually. Please make note of this and always make sure that the selected sample rate
matches the incoming sample rate. This will change on subsequent firmware revisions.
See the section titled "Adjusting Sample Rate and Wordwidth" for directions on changing the
input sample rate.
