input for connecting CD players, DAT recorders etc. (refer to section
'USB/SPDIF digital audio input' on page 16).
16 Digital input IN 2 (optical/TOSLink)
Audio input to connect digital devices (CD-Players, DAT recorders
etc) via optical fibre cable. This input is also available for the usage
of the D/A-converter.
5.3 Digital output formats
Important
· In order to use digital outputs OUT 1 to 4 of your ART G3, the op-
tion Set Digital Output Mode has to be set to either LowBit
Mode or HighBit Mode. If you selected setting disabled all digi-
tal outputs of the ART G3 are switched off (refer to section 'Set Digi-
tal Output Mode' on page 48).
Please refer to the following table to determine which digital format at
which sample rate and resolution is available at the digital audio outputs.
The decision whether to use the HighBit or the LowBit mode depends on
the kind of digital receiver unit your ART G3 is connected to.

5.3.1 LowBit mode
Use the LowBit mode to connect the ART G3 with a component (digital
receiver) that has no Audionet HighBit-Interface. Referring to the table
below all digital outputs OUT 1 9 to OUT 4 14 transmit a stereo PCM
signal at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and with a resolution of 16 bit.
