NOTE: Although digital information is coming out of both XLR and RCA jacks simultaneously, the correct format will only appear at the output for the format type selected. For example, if you have AES/EBU format selected, an AES/EBU formatted signal will appear at the output of both the XLR and the RCA connector. Or, if you have S/PDIF format select- ed, an S/PDIF formatted signal will appear at the output of both the RCA and XLR connectors.

Sync In and Out Connectors

BNC connectors are provided for both clock in and out functions. The 376’s clock chips are dbx custom VCXO chips, designed for low-jitter performance. You may use the 376 as a master clock source, having other equipment slave to the 376, or you may slave the 376’s clock to any other wordclock source device.

Line Output Connectors

The analog output section of the 376 offers both XLR and 1/4" TRS electronically balanced con- nections. The 1/4” connector may be used in a balanced or unbalanced configuration. Using a 1/4” TS connector will unbalance the signal.

Insert Jack

The 1/4” TRS Insert jack (Tip=SEND and Ring=RETURN), will allow you to add an effects loop directly into the signal path of the 376. This insertion point is located after the tube sec-

tion and prior to the signal processing section.

Analog Input Connectors

The analog input section of the 376 offers both XLR (Microphone) and a rear 1/4" TRS (Line) electronically balanced connections. The 1/4” connector may be used in a balanced or unbal- anced configuration. Using a 1/4” TS connector will unbalance the signal.
