(19) AES/EBU Ports
The AES/EBU ports provide two channels of digital I/O with resolutions up to 24-bit at
192 kHz via XLR connectors. For optimum results, use only high-quality 110-ohm XLR
cables specifically designed for AES/EBU digital audio.
SR Convert
Sample rate conversion can be enabled on the AES/EBU input. This function is set in
the AES/EBU input channel strip within the Console application. When sample rate
conversion is enabled and the sample rate of the incoming AES/EBU signal does not
match the sample rate specified in the Console application, the AES/EBU signal is
converted to match Apollo x16’s sample rate.
Note: When Apollo x16 is set to use AES/EBU as the master clock source, sample
rate conversion is inactive.
Mirror Monitor Outputs
The AES/EBU output can be configured to mirror the Monitor outputs, for routing the
stereo Monitor signal to the stereo AES/EBU input of other devices. This feature is set
with the DIGITAL MIRROR menu in the Hardware panel within the Console Settings
window.
