In this example Digital Konnekt x32 is used in a live situation as a digital splitter box that routes the signal to both a laptop computer for recording/play-back, to the PA system via a master EQ and to a broadcast station.

Connections

•The main output channels of the digital mixing console is fed via AES to the AES 1/2 inputs on Digital Konnekt x32

•AES 3/4 from Digital Konnekt x32 is routed to the PA

•AES 5/6 feeds a broadcast station

•A laptop computer is connected via Firewire for recording purposes.

In this setup the sample rate is set by the DAW running on your laptop, but the mixer is set to act as master clock.

Mixer

In this setup where the mixer acts as master clock, make sure to set the mixer’s clock to internal. As Digital Konnekt x32 has excellent sample rate converters via the DICEII chip you should not hesitate to use the SRC function.

Master EQ

The master EQ is fed via AES 3/4 from Digital Konnekt x32. The EQ must be set to external sync.

Broadcast feed

Via AES 5/6 we send the signal to a broadcast section.
