CHAPTER 3: CONNECTING THE GALILEO 616
22
AES/EBU Inputs
Digital inputs following the AES/EBU standard may be directly connected to the Galileo 616,
using the top three XLR-3F connectors outlined in blue and labeled A, C, and E on the left side
of the rear panel. Standard stereo AES/EBU digital audio signals at sample rates up to 96 kHz
are accepted. The meters are monitoring the digital signal, so the levels being displayed are
the same with digital and analog input.
NOTE: Within the System Settings window of the Compass control software or
the Galileo 616 front panel, the Input Channel Types will be set to AES via the
drop-down menu. Since the AES/EBU signal carries two channels of digital audio, the
second connector in the selected pair is covered with a red X, and is disabled.
Both analog and digital input sources can be used simultaneously with Galileo 616. For exam-
ple, AES/EBU signals can feed inputs A and C (inputs B and D are disabled), and analog sig-
nals can feed inputs E and F.
