To connect your GEA?h Digital to Analog Audio Converter, as illustrated in the example in Figure 6, do the following1:

1.Connect up to four sources to the four digital input connectors, as follows:

￿Connect an AES-75￿source (for example, a DAT-Player) to the AES-75￿BNC input connector

￿Connect an AES/EBU source (for example, a DAT-Player) to the AES/EBU detachable terminal block input connector using a shielded twisted pair cable

￿Connect an S/PDIF source (for example, a DVD Player) to the S/PDIF RCA input connector

￿Connect an optical source (for example, a CD Player) to the optical input connector

2.Connect up to two analog acceptors, as follows:

￿Connect the ANALOG OUT LEFT and RIGHT detachable terminal block connectors via shielded twisted pair cables to an analog balanced stereo acceptor (for example, an amplifier with a pair of loudspeakers)

￿If required, connect the PHONES 3.5mm output jack to a headphone set2

3.Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 6).

4.Set the conversion ratio on the underside of the unit3.

1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your 6410N. After connecting your 6410N, switch on its power and then switch on the power on each device

2 The headphone output is usually used for diagnostics and setup of the audio system. It is recommended to disconnect the headphones (or to minimize the headphone volume level) when not in use

3 It is essential that you choose the correct conversion ratio to prevent clipping, and to maintain the S/N ratio within the spec limits. The selection of the conversion rate greatly depends on the type of audio played, and also on the audio equipment that is connected to the 6410N
