6.2 Internal Connectors
AEB1 IN / CD IN
This internal digital input can be used with both SPDIF and ADAT format.
SPDIF
• Connection to an internal CD-ROM drive with digital audio output. Allows for a direct trans-
fer of digital audio data within the computer.
• Connection to SPDIF output of another card. This internal SPDIF connection can be used
to synchronize multiple cards with sample accuracy, and without the need for an external
connection. Please note that the external SPDIF input can no longer be used.
ADAT
• Connection of a TEB (TDIF Expansion Board). The highest sample rate is 96 kHz, the 4-
channel Double Wire mode (S/MUX) is automatically activated in Double Speed mode. Se-
lect AEB / TEB ADAT1 In in the Settings dialog.
• Connection of an AEB4-I or AEB8-I. When using these (no longer available) Expansion
Boards ST7 (X507) must also be connected to the Expansion Board. The highest sample
rate is 48 kHz. Select AEB /TEB ADAT1 In in the Settings dialog.
SPDIF OUT (X502)
Internal SPDIF output, operates in parallel to the coaxial output.
AEB2 IN
Connection of a second AEBx-I or TEB. Please note the label GND for correct polarity. Select
AEB / TEB ADAT2 In in the Settings dialog. In this configuration the optical input ADAT2 can
not be used anymore.
ADAT 1 OUT
This internal ADAT output carries the same audio data as the optical output ADAT1. Connecting
an AEB4-O or AEB8-O, the highest sample rate is 48 kHz. Connecting a TEB the highest sam-
ple rate is 96 kHz, the 4-channel Double Wire mode (S/MUX) is automatically activated. Please
note the label GND for correct polarity.
ADAT 2 OUT
This internal ADAT output carries the same audio data as the optical output ADAT2. See
ADAT1 OUT for details. Both ports can be used to operate one AEBx-O each, for a maximum of
16 analog outputs.
SYNC IN
Internal word clock input for synchronization of multiple cards via SYNC OUT.
SYNC OUT
This 3-pin connector carries an internal word clock signal. It can be used to synchronize multi-
ple cards with sample accuracy, and without the need for an external connection. The card
where SYNC OUT is used is Master, the one with SYNC IN is Slave. In the Settings dialog the
Slave has to be set to Sync In under Pref. Sync Ref, the Clock Mode must be set to AutoSync.
WCM / TCO (X403)
10-pin connector to connect the optional 9632 Word Clock Module or the optional Time Code
Option (TCO) via flat ribbon cable.
X402
14-pin connector to connect the Expansion Board using flat ribbon cable.
