AES-D2 (AES/EBU channel divider):
Why use an AES/EBU channel divider:
The AES/EBU digital signal contains two audio channels (left &
right, also called A & B or 1 & 2) on the same transmission line. In
some applications you may need a mono signal. The AES-D2
enables you to extract a mono signal from an AES/EBU stereo
signal (A or B) and send it to two XLR outputs. The AES-D2 also
allows you to select each output to have any combination of input
signal. So it is possible to use the unit as a two way splitter or
reverse the Left and Right of an AES/EBU stereo signal
independently on each output.
Using the AES/EBU AES-D2 :
A cable with an impedance of 110 ohms (also called an AES/EBU
digital audio cable), must be used especially for long distances
(several hundred meters). For short distances < 10 metres any
good microphone cable should be OK.
