Fostex owner manual Connecting example, Set of the AC2496

Extension example after installing a Model 8355

When the optional Model 8355 (8ch AES/EBU card) is installed, the AC2496 can be utilized as an analog-AES/EBU converter. Unlike the previous example, this setup can output 24 bit 88.2kHz/24 bit 96kHz digital signals.

WORD clock

• Connecting example

Digital equipment installed with

AES/EBU input ports

(Refer to explanation below)

In compliance to the DIGI- TAL FORMAT switch set- ting, adat or S/P DIF digital signals will also be output.

AES/EBU digital signal

PIN assignments

Pin 1 = GND

Pin 2 = HOT

Pin 3 = COLD

Analog Inputs (1-8)

• Set of the AC2496

If WORD clock is input from digital equipment, set the CLOCK SW to "WORD" and the terminate SW to "ON."

This is switched in accor- dance to the analog input type (Refer to explanation below).

If it is to be set to 44.1kHz and 48kHz, it is okay to set to FS for ADAT or S/P DIF.

However, digital signals (adat or S/P DIF) corresponding to the set- ting will be output from the optical DIGITAL OUT connector.

Set FS (44.1/48/88.2/96kHz) to match the equipment con- nected. Above is an example of setting to 96kHz.

Set the AC2496 reference level to match the output level (bal- anced/unbalanced line) of ex- ternal equipment connected such as an analog mixer.

The AES/EBU format output signals are output from each connector as shown below in compliance to the front panel setting ANALOG INPUT MODE switch.
