KONA LH/LHe Installation and Operation Manual — What’s In The Box?
For analog audio, KONA LH provides two-channel balanced audio input and
output. If you purchase the optional KL-Box breakout box, you also get two-
channel unbalanced audio output (RCA jacks).
KONA LH also features AES input sample rate conversion; this feature
eliminates the requirement for audio source synchronization. Sample rate
converters auto-lock to any AES input, 32-96KHz, and then convert it to 24 bit
48KHz audio, perfectly locked to internal KONA LH video. Sample rate
conversion is done at very high quality (over 120db THD).
