Analog audio connections

The DV-RA1000HD can accept and output both bal- anced +4 dBu nominal and unbalanced –10 dBV nomi- nal signals.

Use the XLR jacks, wired as 1=ground, 2=hot, 3=cold

for balanced connections, and the RCA (pin) jacks for unbalanced connections.

On playback or monitoring, audio is always output from both sets of connectors in parallel.

Digital audio connections

The DV-RA1000HD can accept digital audio data from one of three sources, each corresponding to a differ- ent audio format, and can output digital data from the equivalent type of connector, and in the same format as it receives data.

AES/EBU Note that while AES/EBUs connections usually use one XLR connector for a stereo pair, the DV-RA1000HD is provided with two connectors for input and output.

NOTE

Strictly speaking, the format used by these connec- tors is called IEC-60958-4, or AES-3-1992.

When working in Sampling Frequency 88.2/96 kHz mode, there is an option of either using one XLR con- nector at double speed (double-speed), or two connec- tors, each at normal speed (double-wire). If only one XLR connector is being used, connections should be made only to XLR connector 1 (input and output).

In Sampling Frequency 176.4/192 kHz mode, both con- nectors are used at double speed (double-speed and double-wire).

S/PDIF These RCA pin jacks are labeled as COAXIAL on the rear panel. The format is S/PDIF (IEC60958).

These jacks can accept and transmit data at Sampling Frequency 44.1/48 kHz mode or at Sampling Frequency 88.2/96 kHz mode.

SDIF-3/DSD-rawThese BNC connectors accept and output digital audio data in SDIF-3 (DSD-Raw) format. Each connector carries one channel of the stereo pair.

CAUTION

When using DSD connections, all digital audio units in the system, including the DV-RA1000HD, must be synchronized to a common clock signal. On the DV-RA1000HD, if this signal is external, a 44.1 kHz signal should be supplied at the WORD SYNC IN ter- minal. Alternatively, the DV-RA1000HD can be set to act as the system clock master, at 44.1 kHz, with the DSD audio source acting as the clock slave. (See “Selecting the reference clock” on page 28.)
