Cables

This interface requires balanced connections using high-quality, low-capaci-

AES/EBU

tance, controlled-impedance, data communication, twisted-shielded pair cable.

Digital Output

Microphone cable may introduce a significant amount of jitter into the

 

signal, causing distortion.

 

Use commercially-available, consumer audio optical cable assemblies.

S/PDIF

 

Consumer Digital Audio

 

Output

This interface is unbalanced but, because it carries digital signals, it requires the

Word Clock I/O

use of 75RG-59 coaxial cable.
