User Manual

20. USB Hi-Speed
Hi-Speed USB (up to 480Mbits). The Eclipse 384 uses USB connector Type B and operates up to
384kHz sample rate with native drivers on some operating systems.
21. WC Input
BNC connector used to accept Word Clock reference
22. 10M Input
This BNC Input Connector allows the Eclipse 384 to receive timing reference from an Atomic Clock
such as the Antelope 10M, to increase the Oscillator accuracy. The “Atomic LED” light on the
software control panel illuminates and the atomic device becomes the primary timing reference,
thus providing better sample accuracy, more detailed sound and greater stability.
23. Digital Inputs
S/PDIF Inputs
Two Coaxial digital inputs on RCA connectors using the S/PDIF connectivity standard
TOSLINK Inputs
Two Optical connectors using the TOSLINK connectivity standard
AES/EBU Input
Three XLR connector-type Inputs using the 110 Ω AES/EBU connectivity standard
24. A/D Outputs
Two AES/EBU digital outputs on XLR connectors that feed the signal directly from the D/A converter.
When 384kHz is selected on the clock, these inputs are dual-wired at this frequency.
25. De-Jittered Outputs
AES/EBU
Two ‘jitter-free’ XLR connector-type Inputs for compatible equipment using the 110 Ω AES/EBU
connectivity standard. Note that AES 1 and AES 2 can be dual-wired to 384kHz automatically when
384kHz is selected on the clock.
S/PDIF Digital Output
One coaxial ‘jitter-free’ S/PDIF Output on RCA connector
TOSLINK Digital Output
One optical ‘jitter-free’ TOSLINK Digital Output for use with compatible equipment
26. Word Clock Outputs
Four Word Clock Outputs with BNC connectors. These outputs can be individually selected to be
clocked from Clock A or B.
27. Mains Power Connection
The AEC connector supports a range from 95-245 VAC. This enables the device to automatically
accommodate mains voltage in every country.
