A
Digital audio input terminals (DIGITAL IN)
These terminals input digital audio. Connect these terminals to
the corresponding terminals on a digital device (for example,
Esoteric P-01, P-03 or P-05 etc.).
Use commercially available cables for the following connections:
XLR: Use a balanced XLR digital audio cable.
RCA: Use an RCA coaxial digital cable.
OPTICAL: Use an optical digital cable.
B
Word sync input/output terminal (WORD SYNC)
Outputs/inputs a master clock synchronizing signal.
Connect the WORD SYNC IN terminal to the word clock output
terminal on a G-0Rb, G-03X or other word clock generator.
Connect the WORD SYNC OUT terminal to the WORD SYNC IN on
a digital device.
Use a commercially available BNC coaxial digital cable
(impedance: 75 ohm).
C
SIGNAL GND terminal
Connection of this terminal with the ground terminal of another
unit may improve sound quality.
< Note that this is NOT an electrical safety ground (earth).
D
USB input terminal
Inputs digital audio from a personal computer. Connect to the
USB port of a personal computer using a commercially available
USB cable.
This terminal is the USB-B type.
E
Analog audio output terminals (LINE OUT)
Use either the XLR or RCA (pin) terminals for 2-channel analog
stereo output.
Use commercially available XLR or RCA audio cables according to
the terminal of the amplifier:
XLR: Use balanced XLR audio cables
RCA: Use RCA audio cables
XLR pin assignment:
Pin 1: Common
Pin 2: Hot (+)
Pin 3: Cold (–)
< The polarity of the XLR terminal can be set to Pin 3 HOT (page 11).
Esoteric uses Esoteric MEXCEL stress-free 7N cable as a
reference. The following items are available in the Esoteric MEXCEL
cable series.
RCA audio cable BNC digital cable
XLR audio cable Speaker cable
RCA digital cable Power cable
