8. Advanced Notes
Proper Digital Audio cables should be used for SPDIF and AES/EBU: Avoid using standard
analog audio cables for digital signal. Even though they might look the same, they are not designed
for digital audio and performance will be compromised.
● XLR Digital Input: Shielded 110 Ω AES/EBU digital audio cable with connector shell bonded
to shield must be used.
● S/PDIF use 75 Ω coaxial (video) cables.
● BNC Digital Connections: Shielded 75 Ω coaxial cable must be used.
As for Analog Cables, please use:
● Standard high quality cables with XLR connectors;
● Standard high quality cables with TRS connectors.
Connectivity Chart: See ‘pull out’ page included with this manual.
9. Ground Loop Hum and Noise
The design of Eclipse 384 minimizes the possibility of ground loop hum and noise. However, we
recommend the use of short cables and balanced connections for all the audio signals of your
system. All power cables of the system should be connected to a dedicated outlet box or power
conditioner unit to avoid ground current noise affecting the audio signal path. It’s also advisable to
keep signal and power cables separate.
10. Additional Information
Additional information regarding operating systems, audio software and media players will be
updated through the support area at www.antelopeaudio.com
11. Calibration Mode
The Eclipse 384 can be calibrated periodically in order to calibrate the accuracy of the internal clock
by connecting it to the 10M Atomic Clock. This is not something that necessarily needs to be done
very often, but if desired please follow these instructions:
● Connect the 10M to Eclipse 384 via the dedicated 10M input;
● Power on the 10M and wait until it reaches operating temperature;
