Digital Audio Connections

The AES interface requires balanced connections, using high-quality, low-loss, controlled-impedance, shielded, twisted-pair cables designed for data communications, such as Belden 9860 (braided shield) or Belden 9271 (foil shield). The use of ordinary microphone cable can cause digital interfaces to work unreliably. Remember that the maximum recommended length for AES cabling is 100 feet (30 meters).

The Mainframe

Following AES conventions, the odd-numbered channels are on the left channel of each AES stereo pair, the even-numbered channels on the right. The word length is 24 bits, at sample rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, or 96 kHz. To use the digital inputs, the 960L can be synchronized to AES input 1-2 or to the TTL Wordclock input. Note that all digital inputs must be synchronized to the same master clock for operation without artifacts.

For routing and panning, see Chapter 4, Operations in Detail. All signals sent to the digital outputs are also sent to the analog outputs.

MIDI Connections

Use standard, 5-pin DIN MIDI cable assemblies, available from your local dealer. Chapter 6, MIDI describes the 960L MIDI functionality.

Wordclock Connections

Use standard, 75 ohm BNC cables, available from your local dealer. The self-terminating loop-thru TTL input facilitates daisy-chained clock distribution. The 960L will refer its internal wordclock to the falling edge of the input square wave. The 960L output is a TTL- compatible square wave with the falling edge aligned with the start of the 960L sample period.
