1 AES/EBU-IN

A digital AES/EBU input (AES3) is provided in addition to internal analog inputs. The digital input signal has to be connected to the AES/EBU IN connector. The AES/EBU input is a balanced transformer-isolated input. A sampling rate converter translates the input signal to match the internal sampling rate. However, the possibility to synchronize the RCM-26 to an external sampling rate exists as well. For further details, please refer to the IRIS-Net™ help files. Illustration 4.4 shows the pin-assignment of the input socket.

2 AES/EBU-OUT

The AES/EBU OUT connector allows looping-through the digital audio signal to other RCM-26 modules. The digital input signal gets internally buffered and preprocessed (level matching / slew rate) before it is output via the OUT- connector. This allows fairly simple wiring between modules, without the need for AES/EBU distribution amps as they are usually used.

The RCM-26 has a bypass-relay, which, in case of damage (e.g. power outage), connects the AES/EBU IN signal through to AES/EBU OUT. This ensures trouble-free operation of downstream remote amps.
